Soybean – (Approx. 94% of U.S. crop in 2012). Soy beans are the most important crop worldwide for producing oil and protein. Soybean and it processed derivatives are used in a multitude of food, groceries, supplements and cosmetics. Additionally, the remaining soy mass is used as protein-rich animal feed for fish, poultry, pigs and beef.
Tolerance to herbicides is by far the most important commercial characteristic of GM-soybeans. So, not only it is a genetically engineered food crop but, because of adaptive super bugs and super weeds, farmers are forced to use more and more pesticides to combat them. It is a never ending war between chemical labs and nature and we, the customers, are losing our health in the process. Avoid or look for non-GMO certification.
