      Agreed, but you should care that the GMO crops are polluting the non-GMO crops. Cross contamination is unavoidable, a fact proven by the number of farmers being sued by Monsanto because the wind blew patented Monsanto GMO seeds onto their non-GMO farms.

      And really the farmers should be sueing Monsanto for contaminating their healthy crops with GMOs.

      It's a bit more complicated and far more serious than all of that... the GMO food is created to tolerate HUGE levels of poisonous herbicides sprayed onto them, poisoning our ground water, soil, air, etc. We all get poisoned by this regardless of whether or not we purchase the GMO's. It's easy to avoid GMO's by buying organic... but someday it may not be, as the GMO seeds are blowin in the wind and can easily end up mixing into the organic crops, as some of you have mentioned. Additionally, the company that is the biggest grower of these crops is attempting to keep people from growing food in their own yards and already has kept farmers from collecting seeds. In essence, this multi-billion dollar company is buying out politicians and the FDA and are taking away our civil liberties!

    The problem is, people keep insisting on throwing the baby out with the bathwater. "Transgenic corn is bad for you." WHICH transgenic corn? They are not all the same. In fact, they are very, very different. Roundup-Ready stuff is worlds apart from a carrot that's been engineered to contain more beta carotene, or golden rice. I want labeling, but more than that, I want DETAILED labeling. Don't just tell me that the product contains GMOs. I want to know WHICH ONES. THEN I can make informed food choices. And enjoy my enhanced carrots.

    A GMO PR Campaign? Go away!

    • Robert Gertz · Top Commenter · Works at A federal agency in Atlanta
      You didn't read the article and that's the point. It's hardly a PR campaign, in fact it makes a reasoned case against GMOs based on facts. It's foolish not to reasonably discuss why GMO's are not good alternatives and to accept that quite a few people are turned off by YouTube anti-science ranting about "Mother Earth", "organic is good and can feed us all" etc, without facts to back the various claims up. If GMOs could deliver better food at higher yields and lower costs with no threats to health or other organisms why not? But a reasonable assessment of the facts shows they don't.

      Robert Gertz ... really? ... seems very one-sided to me ... yes, just the use of the word 'ranting' in your reply shows what side of the fence you are on ... the general public is simply asking/petitioning to have the FREEDOM to make our own INFORMED choices via full disclosure / labelling ...

  • Naor Deleanu · UC Davis
    "The most recent study to suggest there are seriously health risks associated with eating transgene corn, conducted at the University of Caen in France, would, despite its critics, appear to support the anti-GMO camp." Come on, that study was almost universally decried by scientists. There were studies that showed no serious health risks with tobacco.
