Interesting article about GMOs written by an organic farmer. The basic premise is that those who oppose GMOs are focusing on the wrong issue; there's no proof that consumption is harmful to health. Rather, the potential harms are related to the other management techniques that tend to go along with them. I have been skeptical of the anti-GMO movement for some time since I've never seen credible evidence of harms to health, but I can agree with this reasoning. Of course, the answer doesn't necessarily need to be no GMOs; it could easily be better management practices where herbicides and the like are not the default.
Agri-business and FDA: whatever doesn't kill you instantly is generally safe. Ex. Glyphosate
If you know anything about the FDA you know they are generally criticized for being too cautious and taking too long to approve medications/products. Not too many people accuse them of being too quick to give approval, so congrats on that angle.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
