What's the erBB's stance on GMOs?

It is a funny, fragmented discussion. The more extreme engineering is a bit concerning re: long-term effects, but I'm not too worried about that. I think the real concerns revolve around the business practices of the GMO producers, especially Monsanto. Patenting seeds which are capable of drifting to farms that haven't purchased them and enforcing those patents against the faultless farmer is one concern. It seems the biggest concern though is the practice of developing GMO products that are pesticide resistant and testing those crops in the wrong areas, i.e. close to schools, water sources, etc.
Same here. I don't agree with many of the ethical and business practices relating to GMOs but don't see what the big deal is from a chemical and biological perspective. I'm amazed at the number of people who think GMOs cause cancer or expose us to "toxins". People who use the term "toxins" often have little to no understanding of toxicology.sizzld1 said:
