I've seen a couple documentaries and read some stuff about it. I have no doubt that GMO's are bad. I can't afford to eat organic though!! That's another awful thing so therefore I will be growing my own food this coming season if I can. GMO’s are awful. I’ve seen a couple documentaries and read some stuff about it.

Here's a link from The Progressive (2001) which gives stats and the story of the fight to save GMO-free crops: http://www.progressive.org/0901/lil0901.html Basically, organic standards require growers to incorporate practices such as buffer strips and later planting dates (especially for soybeans, corn, cotton, and canola) which help to discourage cross-contamination, Yet, it's becoming more and more difficult and costly to regulate. Legislation often penalizes the farmer instead of the seed company. :( Hello Food Renegades!
