HI.
My name is Graziella and I´m from the state of Veracruz in México.
I want to tell you my experience about GE crops.
I used to eat black beans called "michigan" beans here in Orizaba where I live.
I used to like them because they were the best ones. We didn´t need to clean them from little stones and dust like we have to do with the other kinds of black beans. So I was pretty happy.
But last month my daughter was asked to prepare some black beans in a bottle with water and some cotton, to see how the grain grows. it's a common homework at school here in méxico in order to see how plants grow.
Well, she used my perceft beans and they never grew... they went rotten but never grew.
So I bought a bag of different beans, mexican beans, and they started to grow from the next day. then she planted them and they are growing in my garden. She is proud if them.
From now on I will never buy "michigan" black beans which are imported from the united states.
I fell pretty bad and pretty angry with our government for letting them come into our country.
Thank you for reading my comments
Graziella
