The Anti-GMO Movement Continues To Disappoint
Here are three questions to ponder today. 1. What does it say about a movement when some of its loudest voices refuse to engage in public discourse with any individuals who may have opinions different from their own? 2. What does it say about a movement when some of its loudest voices freely circulate highly sensationalized […]

Eugene’s Monsanto March
Originally posted on oregongreen:
On Saturday May 25th there were rallies, protests & marches held around the world against Monsanto, a biotechnology, seed & chemical company. I disagreed with the whole premise of the “march”.

Faith Is Shaken But At Least I Can Eat

Series: The Benevolent Side of GMOs A few posts ago, I put out an open call to farmers in hopes of finding a willing group to participate in a Q & A about GMOs and farming. My hope was and still is to engage farmers who both use and don’t use GMOs. I’ve talked to […]
