Being a lifelong Texan, I will have to concur with Mexico on this one. Seems to me they have the right to refuse any type of genetically modified crops to preserve their native species. Speaking of science, does anybody know the long term health effects of GE as well as GM foods or is this something else that's being hidden from the general public. Smells like some powerful interests have their panties in a wad and can't get fat plying their substandard food-stocks.

” to preserve their native species.”

That’s the most important.

No know probs w/genetically modified foodstuffs though there are those that hold them in suspicion because it’s not “natural”.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Oranges are genetically different than apples.

So oranges are bad?

GM danger is a classic manipulation of radical left politics.

Any excuse to be anti American is allowed in Mexico and Europe.

So the Mexicans oppose illegal corn immigration, do I have that right?

The United States is better at producing corn than Mexico, GM or not. One effect of NAFTA was to eliminate thousands of Mexican small farmers. Corn is a major staple of the Mexican diet. Cheaper U.S. corn forced local corn out of the market. NAFTA damaged American manufacturing and Mexican agriculture. Over 30 years ago, Ross Perot was greatly criticized for opposing NAFTA. It turns out his assessment was right.

Mexico should ban whatever it wants.

Constitutional rights for those here illegally? Talk about insanity.

GM corn has done amazing things .
The toxic organophosphate stuff I used to use in the 90’s isn’t needed anymore to control insects .
I don’t farm now but used to.
Farmers use WAY less chemicals than previously .
