I read (on net so true?) that most soy is now GM-contaminated. Does anyone KNOW for sure one way or the other? Pollen blown far and wide, bees take it as do birds,leaves, everything. BUT, isn't a lot of GM sterile = so they can sell seeds every year or isn't that true? NO idea!

And IS it very different from natural selection/mutation? For me it FEELS like it is, when they say taken gene from something that'd never cross-breed or fertilise naturally. Or am I just an old soppy hippy cozI think we don't KNOW = play safe? Or what risks SHOULD we take and with what? But with genes and the earth (at present, I think but probably wrong) can't put the genie back in the bottle.

But advances have only ever happened coz of taking risks = with self (scientist) or others = mostly others. And yes got LOADS good things like some drugs/vaccines = wiped out smallpox, all/most places? Whereto draw the line, WHO decides etc. ? Who benefits and who has most to lose???

Yes, soy is GM contaminated.

There are lots of websites out there that will give you information on GM foods and other dangers in food and natural foods are the way to go. All this info comes from experts/scientists.

I'm not sure about sterile GMs, it is probably true though.

Crops are sprayed with GM pesticides which not only makes the grains bad but kills off the bees, WHICH WE NEED.

I don't know if it is different from natural selection/mutation and I'm not really bothered if it is or not, it is bad and it needs to be stopped.
