When genetically modified organisms hit the FDA's radar in the early 90's FDA scientists were adamant that GMO foods were significantly different than conventional foods."

Huh? GMO foods were around a long, long time before the early 90's. Since just about everything you eat today has been genetically modified in some way, it's hard to understand what this chick means when she says that GMO foods are significantly different than conventional foods. Conventional?

Without GMO we never would have experienced the "Green Revolution" and a billion of people (or more) wouldn't be alive today. Denying the incredible benefits that came from GMO foods is akin to saying that Norman Borlaug isn't one of the greatest Americans of our age. Only a complete fool would believe or say such a thing.

Foolish statement, would you like me to point you to studies from Kansas and Iowa about how the yields of GMO crops are less than natural seed crops, it's true, you are uneducated.
