[5] NORTH DAKOTA LEADS THE WAY: Farmers Revolt Against
Franken-Food

North Dakota's House of Representatives recently
passed a bill that
would
ban the planting of genetically modified wheat for two
years. Though
Monsanto is fighting tooth-and-nail against the bill
(and though the
law
may be derailed in North Dakota's state Senate) the
effort marks a
turning
point in the fight against Franken-food: Farmers are
the main backers
of
the bill. They're concerned because Europe, Japan and
a growing number
of
other countries are banning or limiting the sale of
genetically
modified
food.
