I found you comments about GMO in excusable.

There is no body of extensive research on GMO. I don't know whose propaganda
you are following, but you are wrong. The whole reason scientists such as
myself and thousands of others world wide are concerned with GMO foods is
the lack of safety and toxicological data. Since you are dependent on soy
for your product manufacturing you obviously were faced with the problem of
buying non-GMO soy at competitive prices. So now you tout the Monsanto
position which has worked for years to bring these products to the market
place without the degree of toxicological and safety testing such new
genetically engineered products should require.

FDA does not do testing of such products. EPA and USDA have not done
extensive testing. I do not know who told you they did. But this is false.
All three agencies have been under tremendous pressure to support GMO
commodities in this country, despite the lack of toxicological questions.

Are you aware of the fact that a Scottish  lab sponsored by the GMO industry
in the UK that had 37 trained scientific personnel found preliminary
evidence of organ damage in animals eating GMO foods. When this information
was revealed, the lab was dismounted and the staff laid off within one week.
Doesn't this make you suspicious? And did you know their findings were
published, amidst cries of protest by the GMO industry in the leading
medical journal in the world, The Lancet? Did you read their paper?

I think this issue hardly has anything to do with fund-raising for
environmental or consumer groups. Instead it is an issue that has raised
passionate questions about the direction food safety is going. Passion is
far more powerful than money, so I do wish you luck in deluding yourself
into believing that this is just a fund-raising issue for groups. This issue
is about the future of our food supply and the efforts of a few companies to
control food crops for shear profit.

What we in the United States consider a weed is food, bedding, herbal
medicines and materials for shelter for hundreds of millions of people
world-wide. But then why would someone in Louisiana be concerned with those
less fortunate than us. I am always amazed at how we Americans can be so
ethnocentric and egocentric as to disregard the needs of people world-wide.
This is not about feeding the world's starving, this is all about profit,
huge profits at the potential expense of our health and environment. Shame
on you for taking on the position of those who would promise it is safe for
money without any such evidence. The burden is on you to prove that GMO
foods are safe.
