To me the GMO issue feels a lot like the global warming issue.
Believe me, I know that feeling well! No doubt such a reaction makes Monsanto all warm and fuzzy inside.
Take a quick read of
this comment, though, and see if it plants a seed of doubt. (No pun intended!)
It's beginning to look like the "scientific consensus" is as trustworthy on GMO (and our food supply in general) as it is on global warming. Seems to me that it's not Left or Right that controls science, but money and power.
