Another Surprise: GMO Food Isn’t Good for Us

There’s an interesting article over at The Ethicurean: “The Failure of Science”: New paper makes a damning case against genetically modified food crops.

In [the paper] Don Lotter, a UC-Davis trained scientist, makes a persuasive case that the transgenic seed industry is built on fundamentally flawed science, and that companies like Monsanto have used their vast market power to reshape university research, manipulate public opinion, and coerce regulatory agencies into reckless acceptance of risky technologies. And that scientists have looked the other way while they did so.

Lotter isn’t anti-transgenic and doesn’t trash the scientists. His paper does offer a way off the misguided path we’ve been traveling.

I highly recommend giving this article a read.
