The "Food Bubble"....... as in burst

Something that I've been thinking about lately....... there is a discussion about whether GE crops have a role in sustainable agriculture. I personally have alot of reservations...... genetic pollution, proper testing of impacts, health implications.....

Vandana Shiva-
"... the conflict over genetically engineered crops and foods is not a conflict between 'culture' and 'science'. It is between two cultures of science: one based on transparency, public accountability, and responsibility toward the environment and people, and another based on profits and the lack of transparency, accountability and responsibility."

To be continued...
