Many of the new larger stores have huge parking lots or entrances which are private property and this is when you may need to call ahead of time. Canola, soy, and corn are the major crops that are genetically engineered in Canada right now. Farmers are growing -these crops in the prairies. Canola and soy are genetically engineered to be resistant to the brand-name herbicides of chemical companies, this means that when farmers spray the crops to kill weeds the plant will not die from the herbicide. We are eating these herbicide-resistant plants.
Herbicide resistance increases chemical use in agriculture.
Corn and Potatoes are engineered to kill insects, to contain their own insecticide.
