<p>Monsanto does have a questionable reputation, and I don't agree with all of their activities. But let's take the hot air out of this discussion.

<p>Monsanto does have a questionable reputation, and I don't agree with all of their activities. But let's take the hot air out of this discussion. I recently wanted to be better informed about this topic, so I bought a book (Pandora's Picnic Basket) written by a senior research scientist (not a journalist) and found some very objective information. After reading the facts, I personally have no problems with GM food. The line between GM and non-GM food is more blurry than one may think. In fact, accepted "traditional" crop breeding methods include embryo rescue, haploid breeding, mutation breeding, somaclonal variation, and cell selection - some of which involve laboratory petri-dish fertilization, which many would regard as unnatural, but it is still considered "traditional". <br/><br/>So, before labeling all GM food as dangerous, we need to be more specific about individual practices, and how and why they would be dangerous. One potential concern are food allergies, however the companies have preemptively cancelled all GM projects that involve known-food allergies (e.g. nuts). If there are still concerns or questions about GM out there, I would be more than happy to provide more facts.</p> Don't forget that MonSatano,…tag:www.votecitizens.org,2011-07-27:6348963:Comment:159152011-07-27T21:24:31.758ZRob Royhttp://www.votecitizens.org/profile/RobRoy
