Oslow,
Let me get this straight. Because you have financial involvement with Biotec, anyone who [i]merely[/i] questions the safety of these foods or their impact on the environment is an idiot? Or, perhaps you are a leading expert in this field? Not impossible, but please, let us know.
I'm not talking hysterics here, but frankly I don't give a damn about the money you or Monsanto stands to make or lose. There are a lot of smart assholes who were doing the world a big favor, only to find out that not only did they not know it all, they didn't know the half of it.
Ask anyone in Florida about Love Bugs, insects which were introduced to control mosquitoes. Not a genetics mishap, but parallels can be drawn.
What worries me is most is introducing new genetic combinations into the environment. You know, like unapproved GM corn in taco shells. It was not supposed to be there. But it was. Like corn that produces BT insecticide, constantly. This will inevitably result in BT resistant insects. No chance to allow non-BT resistant insects to dilute the BT resistant bugs genes, because the BT is ever present, as opposed to a periodic spraying.
I am not saying there is no place for GMOs. I'm saying that a close eye needs to be kept on them, by those who do not stand to profit from them, and that questions which are asked should be answered, not brushed aside.
BTW, I've never watched Frontline
