A company called Monsanto is controlling genetically engineered crops.  They control about 90 percent of them and have turned it into a corporate monopoly. Once GMOs are released into the open they can’t be controlled like they were in the lab. If the GMO gene goes into a neighboring crop that doesn’t contain GMOs, the modified gene will contaminate the natural crop.  This Monsanto makes farmers dependent on their GMO seeds. The GMO seeds also contain herbicides and pesticides, but animals can evolve and adapt to these chemicals in turn making more powerful chemicals in future GMO seeds.  These crops also contaminate the soil.  The Monsanto monopoly control is very unfair in my opinion.  They control 90 percent that is almost a 100.  America is all about equal opportunity and with Monsanto controlling almost all the GMO business there is not much room for competition.
