gmo is so new that there is no conclusive long-term evidence either way. much of the research is funded by bio-tech money, either directly or indirectly, bio-tech is receiving more funding in universities than most other sciences. monsanto...unequivocably the most unethical corporation ever conceived on planet earth, is the biggest winner, with a decision like this in little boulder, along with the emperor of whole foods saying yes, shaking hands w/ monsanto.....gmo and organic cannot co-exist juxtaposed because gmo cannot be isolated, and the application of round-up, etc necessarily runs off their premises by definition, the wind and the water carry the seed and the herbicides/insecticides across man-made boundaries, fences, even ideologies...these corporate commissars are making decisions that merely benefit their corporate keepers, this is not democracy, we must be given the opportunity to vote on it, otherwize it's oligarchy, and that is where we live now
