Genetically Modified (GM) Food

[Michael Perelman]

Jim Heartfield's take on genetically modified food is indistinguishable from
Monsanto's response.  I apologize, but I do not have the time to take his
post apart point by point on his technical claims, except that I have not
heard anybody suggest that the Terminator can spread to other plants.

Let me suggest Mark Lappe's new book as a good source.

One point: Monsanto's lawyers are going around threatening to sue printers
and publishers who are distributing material that discusses science that
disproves Monsanto's position.  I can mention 3 cases: The Ecologist, Mark
Lappe's book, and the television series on BgH.
