It seems like this lawsuit, on the behalf of 90% of the professional farmers on this island (meaning they make their entire livelihood from farming) is now going to force the county to define its specific plan for enforcement of this law. Thinking this is some kind of slap against Monsanto is believing slapping yourself in front of the mirror is how to hurt the reflection.
Just like people forgetting the initial reason for invading Iraq was hidden WMD, the initial reason for this ant-GMO mania was the "street cred" social media diagnosis that GMO was causing autism. Since this was brought up in the 90's and turned into mass hysteria, several studies have proven there is no connection between any GMO crop with autism or even any correlation with the increase in asthma. Increase in asthma can be caused by exposure to second hand smoke, this is well documented, and it is also documented that women are smoking more than men these days.
When you remove these two supposed horrible effects of GMO, then specifically what illness is GMO causing? Somehow, the emotionalism and hysteria of this subject over rides any knowledge, data or facts. Odd, these social media movements.
