<\/span>
Genetically Modified Beets account for 95 percent of all those grown in the US, according to USDA figures. Beet sugar provides about half of the TOTAL US sugar supply. <\/span>

<\/span>
We’re all eating Franken-Food … we just don’t know it because the Gov agencies don’t require the food companies to let us know. <\/span>

<\/span>
Ei yi yi. In any case, Judge Jeffrey White of San Francisco ordered that genetically modified (GM) sugar beets planted in September should be destroyed. These Franken-Beets are GM to resist Roundup <\/span>Ready herbicide. So you can bathe these plants in a chemical soup whose sole purpose is to kill plant life on Earth, and they won’t die!! <\/span>

<\/span>
Judge White ruled that the USDA had illegally allowed the planting of the beets. Monsanto was SUPPOSED to complete an environmental impact assessment before going ahead with their ABC (Alien Beet Crop). Monsanto just didn’t do it, so the judge came back and told them to dig up their “plants”. <\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n

Judge White described the case in this way: \u201cThe legality of Defendants\u2019 conduct does not even appear to be a close question. It appears clear that Defendants and Intervenor-Defendants were merely seeking to avoid the impact of the Court\u2019s prior order.\u201d<\/i>   <\/span>

<\/span>
By the way, Monsanto is currently the ONLY supplier of GM sugar beets. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
