    Not while The Object of the exercise is to make it more resistant to glyphosates.

    Read Seeds of Deception. It is all there for anyone interested in knowing what Monsanto is most interested in.

    Absolutely not. Doesn't Mexico read about what these crops have done to India, etc.? I've lived here 17 years and certainly hope Mexico will not cave into pressure to accept GMO seeds.

    GMOs are so very harmful. I was so pleased that Mexico banned them. Now I am very upset that we have given in!

    Mexican corn varieties have been adapted through centuries to grow with little fertilizer, water etc. The poor farmer can feed his family in marginal growing conditions. This same farmer cannot afford expensive genetically altered seed or the fertilizers they need, if his seed is ruined by the neighboring Monsanto cornfields.

    'Gracias for giving me this oppurtunity to comment,I am not opposed to using science for solving agricultural challenges,howevever the risk is that we slide into a lazy mode of using chemicals or natural methods to solving our problems and become reluctant or apathetic to searching for natural remedies.If I was to use any science or modified means to solve problems I would need to measure the commitment of firstly the reasoning of the Mexican people,balanced with the 'Mexican' scientific involvement or commitment and also ensure that we have exhausted all natural or biological options.This is just some concerns that spring to mind without having done extensive consideration on the topic,

    Way is the question. Feeding people garbage is not a solution.

    I have seen a Monsanto vehicle in La Penita de Jaltemba, Nayarit and I have bought and eaten almost square-like tomatoes which taste like garbage. I know that Monsanto has been working on square-like tomatoes and using pig cells to do so...the idea is to make tomatoes more pulpy with no seeds and the result is disaster out. Nit was wonderful to go north of the border and taste a real tomato with seeds. As Monsanto tries to control the production of seeds and eventually have control of the food supply, small gardeners will not be able to plant their own produce. What Monsanto does to the food is immoral and self serving. Individuals in governments can easily be bribed to allow Monsanto and other similar companies to continue to operate to further their cause. GMO's should be banned.

    No one knows the long term effects of GMO. Mexico will lose its heirloom corn and be forever tied to Monsanto!

    The evidence is clear regarding GMO´s. Allow No More Payoffs that result in health issues for our population.
