GMO??

I have been slowly moving into an anti GMO anti MONSANTO anti ROUNDUP mode. SLOWLY. I'm a late adopter. I just walked thru a field of open pollinated traditional corn.. (non gmo). It's alive. It has insects, understory, activity. A while back I walked thru a Roundup Ready corn field. It was dead and sterile at ground level. 
 
Growing up in Dakota we used to hunt corn fields for Pheasants. There were able to make a living there because of the understory things to eat. Not now. If you fenced off a hundred acres of Roundup Ready corn as clean as they are now and put a dozen Pheasants in there, they would starve to death. There's nothing there, no insects, no weed seed, no nothing. Sterile. A food desert. This is not right.
