I'm sorry you disagree Russell but I do respect that you have a different opinion. I do not fault you for not agreeing with me. I find a distinct difference between the science of genetically modified organisms and the business model of the Monsantos. The science has a lot to offer us as a world population. The salvation of our papaya industry is due to GMO science. I do not reject the science. I would suggest that you yourself would hurry down to the hospital if faced with a deadly disease and there was a genetically modified process or procedure that could save you. I would.
As for the business model, that is another matter and one not solved by any of the current legislation I have seen proposed.
Like many advances in science there are results that are considered beneficial and some that are considered not beneficial. There are positive and negative aspects to everything. I favor those things which I perceive to have more positives than negatives.
Banning GMO off hand is throwing the baby out with the bath water. More thinking needs to go into the legislation before I could support it. I am opposed. As for the "60 nations" thing.... you may not have noticed but I do not run with a herd. I am however fully in favor of labeling.

Assume the best and ask questions.
