I am tired of hearing people like David Tribe rant on about lost opportunities, when there are many reputable scientists who have exposed the problems with GE foods. One of the most scary problems is that in inserting foreign genes or even man made ones, the resulting GE foods become unstable, and have been proven in some cases to have completely different characteristics from when they were licensed! Not only this, it is common knowledge that both Monsanto and Bayer have had many occasions when they have broken laws made to protect people's health and safety, and they have been fined and convicted. As a food grower I am concerned that these companies are able to sue people whose crops have been contaminated by GE pollen. This can be compared to a man who rapes women and then goes to court and sues them for the privelege of carrying his genes. The law is an Ass if it continues to allow this state of affairs, with the offenders being put in the posiiton of being above the law.
