As in fact, America love to band her Muscles... thinking that by violence and force problem can be solved...

Sometimes it works... but against life, it's a little bit more complex...

So who is this thing that could put America to her knees ?!?

Look nice right ? huhuhu...

Do you know people working the cotton field on the south ? Do you know what happened this year that hadn't since the 1960 ?

Ask and look at a chart...

And you still want GMO Salmon ? Are you stupid(s) ?

Okay I am nice :

"A new herbicide-resistant strain of Amaranthus palmeri or Palmer amaranth has appeared; it is Glyphosate-resistant and so cannot be killed by the widely used Roundup herbicide. Also, this plant can survive in tough conditions. This could be of particular concern to cotton farmers using Roundup Ready cotton.[24] The species Amaranthus palmeri (Palmer amaranth) causes the greatest reduction in soybean yields and has the potential to reduce yields by 17-68% in field experiments.[21] Palmer amaranth is among the “top five most troublesome weeds” in the southeast and has already evolved resistances to dinitroanilines and acetolactate synthase inhibitors.[25] This makes the proper identification of Amaranthus species at the seedling stage essential for agriculturalists. Proper herbicide treatment needs to be applied before the species successfully colonizes in the crop field and causes significant yield reductions."

I have no pitty, I hope that with decreasing yield, and interest payements going on a lot of farmerS will be eliminated of the business. I hope that the forcelosure of their farms(GMOs) will be done with absolutely no pitty by the banks. They are Agr-sters, and will be treated as such by nature.

Amaranth, Amaranth what A NAME !

Monsanto is going to single-handedly destroy the planet or destroy the human race.

As from the above link I can't disagree with you...

However there is another scenario ( which is kind of really cool ) ie : destroying Monsanto !!!

Outlawing, Hunting, finding, Jailing/killing Monsanto Stake/shareholders would cost less than doing the same for Terrorists ! In fact all the Monsanto(and co) participants are LOGGED. they are TAGGED, if I may, they are all traceable for eternity

(FEMA Camp could be usefull afterall...).

The risks they want to impose on us to make $ aren't worth it.

One day they will be like nazis after the fall of Berlin...
 
A little update !

Quote from http://www.arkansasbusiness.com/article.aspx?aID=124357.54928.136499:


But after spending several weeks driving through the Delta for face-to-face meetings with farmers, and hosting a series of field days at our company's soybean research and production facilities in DeWitt, I see a topic that is causing genuine alarm: Palmer amaranth, or pigweed.

Farmers have heard the horror stories and noticed the pigweed-infected crops. I'm talking about some of the worst-case fields near Newport, the invasion near Keo, others near Brinkley. Those hot spots are testaments to the intruder's ability to overtake fields, damage combines and destroy any hope of a profitable harvest. And more farmers aren't just hearing about it - they are living through it, as pigweed creeps from the north into southern Arkansas fields.
...
The upcoming "PigPosium" is one good example. This unprecedented day-long event, hosted by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service at East Arkansas Community College in Forrest City on Nov. 17, will focus entirely on battling pigweed.

... a second look !! The conclusion is really refreshing...

...
Not that this is today any consolation to the farmers who are suffering from the expense of buying costly products that do not work, leaving them with lower crop yields.

Indeed, Monsanto’s own website includes instructions encouraging farmers to mix glyphosate and older (i.e., leftover) herbicides such as 2,4-D, a herbicide which was banned in Sweden, Denmark and Norway over its links to cancer, reproductive harm and mental impairment. 2,4-D is also well known for being a component of Agent Orange, a toxin used in chemical warfare in Vietnam in the 1960s

And about the name : "The word comes from the Greek amarantos and means the “one that does not wither,” or “never-fading”.


:cool:

...
Through the Rodale Institute, I stumbled upon the humble amaranth, long cultivated by many peoples around the globe, including ancient cultures like the Romans and the Aztecs who valued it in ritual and as a staple food.

Amaranth seeds have a protein content of about 16%, more than other widely consumed cereals like conventional wheat, rice or maize, according to a book on the topic by the US National Research Council. Amaranth’s protein digestibility score is an impressive 90 percent, much higher than problematic foods such as soy, milk and wheat.

Amaranth seeds contain 5 percent to 9 percent high-quality oil, again, much higher than the common grains. Found in the amaranth oil are tocotrienols — a relatively rare and very beneficial form of vitamin E
...

Calling amaranth “pigweed” or “superweed” is perhaps an attempt by Monsanto and others who fall into the trap, to make an ideological statement. In 1984 when the New York Times first discovered amaranth, Jane Brody wrote about it like this:

“Agricultural researchers are cautiously hailing this relic of antiquity as ‘the grain of the future’ for its potential to provide protein, vitamins and minerals to people worldwide, including the United States.”

Then, 26 years later the NY Times writes again about amaranth, but this time referring to it only as pigweed and describing it as the main invasive superweed. I believe this is an example of how language can manipulate perception.

His last quoted sentence is particularly true !

quote : "Nature seems to be offering us a gift in the form of amaranth."
 
Wiki: "Amaranth seeds, like buckwheat and quinoa, contain protein that is unusually complete for plant sources.[16] Most fruits and vegetables do not contain a complete set of amino acids, and thus different sources of protein must be used.

Its seeds have a protein content greater than that of wheat. However, unlike that found in true grains (i.e. from grass seeds) its protein is not of the problematical type known as gluten.[17]"

I bet Monsanto will soon be selling genetically modified Amaranth and we will all be happily consuming it. :D :D :D

Ohh No ! this plant, like all the other doesn't need their modification. As proved by it's efficiency to conquer land, even cross-breeding species would not be that beneficiary...

The plant trough the million years of fight against the envirronent have put in place the best compromise between all the different factor for growth.
