Permie, Rob:
Good conversation you two. Need more like it.
The issues that matter are:
1) Seeds that must purchased each year since GMO methods can make it non-reproducible.
2) Patent infringement suits against farmers whose fields are inadvertently contaminated by patented
GMO varieties.
3) Pesticide and herbicide resistance and the attendant impacts.
4) Corporate control of GMO technology to control food supply and farming methodologies.
5) There is nothing inherently wrong with GMO technology, just its control and applications and
purposes for being used.
