Reply #9: "What's best for humanity..."

[Paschall]

But many GM foods are designed to sustain MASSIVE amounts of pesticides, and--you can bet your bottom dollar--those pesticides will be used, generating massive wealth for the same industries that produced these crops. And, personally, I believe it is far too early to assume that production of these crops in normal conditions, where GM pollen can be spread by wind and insects, is without danger.

The whole GM food flap is a rerun of another scheme the agro-industry tried to pawn off as a "life-saving" plan for the planet in the 1960s: The so-called "Green Revolution." Check it out. Devastating results for farmers and farmlands, and--all told--no benefit for the hungry.
