This is a perfect representation of the modern sentiment that we can outsmart nature. Not likely! Unfortunately, Monsanto must continue trying to do so because their business model depends on it.
It's amazing and disheartening how they attempt to justify things and will even go as far as saying that what they do is an "environmental success." Give me a break! If you visit Monsanto's website, it's clear that they try to come across as a "green" company when they're anything but. Goes to show how sneaky and dangerous they are. I don't know how they could possibly think that they are promoting sustainability when they intentionally engineer seeds that can't reproduce.
Hi Natasha, this is a great point that I often try to stress myself. Many gluten free foods are just as processed and unhealthy as the gluten containing foods that they replace. Like you, I enjoy gluten free snacks on occasion as well, but as you said, they certainly shouldn't be the basis of a diet. The best and easiest way to go gluten free is to eat natural whole foods. If you're interested, I wrote an article specifically about this topic.
