"China's quality watchdog...."
Must be the same China watchdog that keeps rejecting dogfood, toothpaste, etc, knowing the US doesn't mind buying that kinda toxic crap for its own chemically saturated citizens. ;)

Yeahbut! .....I bet 70% of everything in the store CONTAINS corn. And US has no other kind of corn other than GMOd.

Actually, we have non gmo corn in the U.S. One example here:
One suggestion would be for city, town, suburban types to let their lawns go natural. City folk use about ten times the chemicals per acre on their lawns as farmers do on their fields. Cite:
Hi, Not here. We can't use chemical fertilizer on our lawns. It's the law. Golf courses are big time user of fertilizers.
Well, 2,4-D has been around since WWII. More here:
Bright, young versions of Frank will find something else probably. Crop rotation, along with pesticide rotation, can help. My memory goes back to the 1960s before GMO and modern pesticides. Farmers spent a lot of time tilling their fields. It wasn't unusual for them to work the soil six or eight times to raise a crop. Keeping weeds under control in soybeans was just a dream. Soybeans didn't tolerate chemicals well. I spend my summers in crop fields. Fields nowadays are largely weed free. That wasn't the case 20 years ago or so. Even the best farmers had a lot of weeds in the fields as the summer wore on. The weeds would, of course, suck up nutrients and water intended for the crop. RoundupReady makes a soybean/corn rotation more practical. A farmer can no till soybeans directly into the previous year's corn stalks. They wait a few weeks then spray the soybeans with Roundup to kill the weeds. That's it until harvest. Soybeans are legumes. They will leave behind about 45 pounds of nitrogen for the next year's corn crop to use. The Wikepedia article also mentions the most common uses for 2,4-D. The second one listed is no till burn down. That would be done before planting or sowing the crop.
Bread is made from corn?
damn, you've never heard of corn rye? or corn bread?
Here's a recipe from FoodNutwerk's racist chef:
We've poisoned the oceans with mercury, let's see if we can't trash the land too! Bring it on Monsanto.
There is food grade and feed grade corn. A bit here from Cargill:
Perhaps it contains high-fructose corn syrup or some other corn derivative. Mass-market breads taste a little sweet to me. Since I don't buy them, I don't pay much attention to their ingredients.

Most processed foods, including breads, contain GMO corn by-products such as corn syrup and corn starch. Sometimes we even use GMO beet sugar, and lots of it. Yumm!
But don't worry, GMO products have been thoroughly tested and are totally safe for you. We love you.
I mean really, would corporations create products that were bad for their beloved customers for the sake of increasing their profit? Of course not. We're all family.
The REAL question is would every government (including the EU and other not terribly shy about poking around in things) decide that GMO is safe. This is the foodie equivalent of the autism flu vaccine hooha except GMO hasn't had a fradulent study published.
The Food and Drug Administration allowed the first GM foods onto world markets in spite of its own scientists' warnings that genetic engineering is different from conventional breeding and poses special risks, including the production of new toxins or allergens. The FDA overruled its scientists in line with a US government decision to foster the growth of the GM industry.
The FDA formed a policy for GM foods that did not require any safety tests or labelling. The creation of this policy was overseen by Michael Taylor, FDA's deputy commissioner of policy, a position created especially for Taylor.
Taylor was a former attorney for the GM giant Monsanto and later became its vice president for public policy.
How can anyone not see the problem here?
Not to worry. I'll make up for you.
Damn, did you flunk first grade reading? No, you're just a leftist pathological liar, as you always have been and always will be (too damned stupid to learn).
