Re: GM seed in India

"In India, Monsanto reportedly gave the first year's worth of seeds to the farmers essentially for free, promising they would require less water, less pesticides, fertilizers, etc, but the opposite turned out to be true. Once the farmers were hooked on the GMO seeds, Monsanto then jacked up the prices. Being unable to afford the expensive seeds and fertilizers, huge numbers of Indian farmers committed suicide. There were articles all over the internet news sites about it, though I guess not much in the mainstream US press. "

So you claim that the crops were so bad with the GM seed that the farmers committed suicide?

And then after that they were "hooked" on the stuff.

Do you realize how completely stupid this argument is?

And BTW, I did not know that cows can read.
