Every once in awhile I assume the role of the anti-Christ on this
discussion exchange with defense of things like hunting, SUV's, and
lead shot. There has been recent discussion of GMO's, with the
sentiment seeming to run against them. I have spent an adult career
in science-biology and the journals I have looked at never found
health problems with the consumption of such plants. Attached is an
article by the normally conservative columnist from the Washington
Post on the anti-science views of too many people in the US. You
will note his passing comment about GMO's. Please click on the link
of the article that refers to the Journal
of the Royal Society of Medicine article on GMO's. To save
time, go to page 7 where it discusses the safety of GMO crops. I
don't suppose this science article will change any minds, mindsets
being what they are, but, perhaps it is food for thought. Lanny
