Traditional U.S. Crops Genetically Polluted

The extent to which genetically modified crops have replaced and polluted traditional agricultural varieties is shocking and criminally negligent. Because a new scientific discovery allows something to be done, and it makes money, should it be widely applied without the benefit of knowing its ecological, social and economic consequences? Traditional crops are a foundation upon which human society rests. Perhaps we should be certain that GM foods are free of deadly effects before we make a choice to change. Not lose our traditional agriculture because it is in the interest of big business to do so.
