Don't know what you're talking about- all the "Riff-Raff" causing problems around here is strictly homegrown. Good looking smart white guy with good family life just got caught trying to burn down the 10th garage/house in our area.
Three morons from a bigger city drove to our "big" city in the area and tried to rob the big jewelry store they were still in high school, born and raised here in MI.
Another tourist town on the big lake has three to four "teens" attacking and robbing folks walking along the streets. From the descriptions of the attacker- once again younger men to teens.
And when they catch the folks who are doing the home invasions in the area, I can almost guarantee that they are gonna be local homegrown morons.
If it makes ya feel good to blame everything on :quote:"riff raff allowed to stay in this country.":quote:

Go for it, but don't forget to watch out for the local "riff-raff".
But on the question of GMO frankenfoods- I do try to avoid them- but "our" gooberment has decided that "we" don't need to know what is in our foods.
At least here in MI the sugar from sugar beets next year will not be GMO as the GMO beets have been banned!
As for sugar from sugar cane -
:quote: Sugar cane - Made resistant to certain pesticides. A large percentage of sweeteners used in processed food actually comes from corn, not sugar cane or beets. Genetically modified sugar cane is regarded so badly by consumers at the present time that it could not be marketed successfully. :quote:
If you want to read more on the subject of
GMO.
I try at the moment to only buy sugar made with sugar cane and I even spend some extra and buy sugar called "Sugar in the Raw" as it is from Hawaii.
But GMO is a nightmare as you can not tell if the farmer who is raising your chicken, beef, pork, etc.. is using GMO or non-GMO it is becoming so deeply hidden in our foods that I am afraid to even eat anything that is not raised by me or grown by me.
