It's funny that we've been through all this Monsanto business before but still the unawareness of Genetically Modified Foods remains in place. I think that a simple observation of "seedless" foods should be an indication of food tampering. A visit to the farmers market the other day revealed that some of the farmers are not sure if some of their produce is of GMF seed origin. The issue seems to be highly shrouded in confusion and ignorance. If there were enough voices to protest the practice, there might be some changes for the better.
