In the US we aren't even allowed to label foods non GMO. This is free enterprise!? Also, amen to Charlie in Comment 1. Unfortunately, the Clinton and both Bush administrations have pushed us toward this monstrous nightmare. The only highlight was (during the Clinton administration) the legislation allowing freedom for us to learn about supplements. This has been being fought by both the W and BHO administrations. BTW both Fred Meyer and QFC have FAR better selections of whole foods than Safeway in this area. So maybe Kroger would be a better bet. I don't know. I haven't done any research. I do enjoy your updates. Thank you very much. How comforting to read all the comments on Monsanto. In the US we aren’t even allowed to label foods non GMO. This is free enterprise!?

Monsanto was not a good choice when writing an article about good health. Their seed offerings include genetically modified seeds. These are far from any interest of good health. As far as "health care" goes, it's a misnomer. It's really "sick care". True health care is called prevention. Marc, this being said, your article was basically very good. I agree with Gordan.

But choosing Monsanto as a savior of a world is shockingly naive. Obviously a concern about "ethical investing" hasn't reached here yet.Obviously no research, on what Monsanto is doing, has been done. Monsanto is destroying the farming of the world, and lying, hiding the terrible data they have on the GMO. I don't recommend that anyone invests in Monsanto, not only it's equivalent of Hitler's gas chambers (the facts are too voluminous to discuss here), but it's bound for a unexpected setback, as the world is turning against them. They were already convicted in France, Italy, and several other EU states. India is reporting 100% falied crops (yes, 100%, not a typo) by their GM cotton. BTW - where did you hear lately that exercise makes you lose weight, READ THE LATEST STUDIES, its not true, and exercise is the most dangerous hobby you can take up (10,000 people a year end up in emergency). Remember, 1 hour RUN (not jog) burns about 900 calories. Draw your own conclusions. It puzzling where this article is going, starting with a good, factual premise – America is obese.

Such ridiculous inventions as ""Acid Reflux Disease" - its not a disease in the accepted sense of the word, highlight the absurdity resulting from such legislation. I am not a doctor,nor do I dispense anything apart from the payments I make for natural supplements. It is astonishing that I may not discuss such things with my MD as he might lose his license if he condones my non-drug supplements.

When he was writing the article, he hesitated before included Monsanto in the column for all of the reasons you've mentioned (and Marc agrees with all of them). Ultimately, he concluded that most Americans don't read labels or look too closely at the food they're eating. The effort to eat more veggies will be enough for most people, so as a result, Monsanto would likely benefit. Thank you, Investment U Marc really gets what you’re all saying about Monsanto.
