Not sure how I feel about this. The article is definitely slanted against GM crops. For all of the negativity it presents no scientific evidence against GM crops.

Great news. When these blowhard "earth nut" groups can actually do more than cry foul, and produce some studies that show all these supposed health risk from GM food, then we can start to ban this.

As for now, I'm very happy to hear that our scientists continue to help feed the world. Good work.

There's nothing more or less dangerous about a gene coming from the human genome.

I'm not sure that "earth nut" is an accurate term for these people. Their argument seems to have little to do with environmentalism, and more to do with perceived health risks.

Yeah I'll concede that. The names of some of the groups are "earth nut" ish. But I do agree with environmental conservation so I should retract my old statement and instead call them simply "nuts"
