Please don't take this the wrong way. I am NOT taking up for the "tree huggers," although it may seem that way..... As to GMO. There are valid reasons to object. Going back to basic genetics from even high school, it is seen that breeding out undesirable traits also can breed in other undesirable traits. That is why it can take many years or even decades to breed a better corn, wheat, or other crop. Genetic modification bypasses all of the experimentation and greatly speeds up the process. It also has not been subjected to the same kind of testing as any other synthetic food material. Enter big companies like Monsanto, DuPont, Allied Chemical, and others, and along comes the payoffs and rubber stamp approvals of relatively untested food products by corrupt officials. After all, food is WAY MORE profitable than fuels and consumer goods, is it not? My main objection of GMO is that there has not been enough testing done to be certain that the products are SAFE and non-toxic, and nutritious in comparison to their non-GMO counterparts. What if...... GMO foods contained significantly less nutritional value than their non-GMO counterparts? What if GMO foods contained undiscovered toxicity that was cumulative? And what if that toxicity came out of the same gene that was implanted to increase yield?
I am not saying that it is or is not, but only pointing out that there are TWO sides to the discussion. Both sides have valid arguments.
My personal position is that I would decline to purchase a GMO product if there were a non-GMO counterpart available. And I am DEFINITELY NOT a tree hugger! I drive an SUV and enjoy living in a warm house burning fossil fuels to keep it warm, etc.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
