Frankenfood: What do you think you know about GMO?

[Keif' Richards]

This is really interesting stuff. Living in Vermont, we constantly are talking about our food and where it comes from. People here tend to make a really big fucking deal about the origin of the food and especially the presence or absence of GMO's in said food. Being from Boston, well, learning to care about Mother Nature and the wondrous qualities of her creation was done step-wise.

In all seriousness though, being in Vermont has really taught me a lot about respecting the planet, but I still am not a subscriber to the anti-GMO movement. It has always been a curiosity, but I believe it's just another racket. Interesting article!

Allegedly Monsanto have effectively removed anyone from being able to say that their crops are organic due to cross-pollination.

If they are good people then yea sweet, whatever.

If they are dodgy or there's some nefarious intent behind their business practice, it would be nice to at least have the food labeled.

I'm pro GMO but I tend to think monstanos business practices are suspect at the best of times.

Yeah Monsanto is an example of using it in a bad way. And just in general of a predatory, soulless corporation.
