Take a peek at the comment left by "Anonymous" on my June 30, 2008 blog entry. http://potatoprocessing.key.net/2008/06/gmo-wars.html
As you can see from my blog header, I encourage comments and discussion on the part of everyone, especially those who disagree. Problem is, in this case, there was no supporting evidence given regarding GMO potatoes. Anyone out there, if you have some reference material, please shed some light, and I will get on board... if the evidence is sufficient.
I have read the news about the GMO maize apparently causing serious health problems in rats. All the articles that I found (after an admittedly cursory search) were performed and published by organizations that would tend toward bias, and they are contradicted (of course) by Monsanto, who also could be viewed as biased. I look forward to independent peer review of the process and data found, by neutral scientists. It will also be telling to hear the position of the governmental agencies who approved the GMO maize as safe. Until I hear from someone unbiased, I will take the news with several grains of salt, as any reasonable person will do.

"Self-righteous"? Read the words, and judge for yourselves. I am for open, scientific, un-biased pursuit of truth. I am against illegal acts like trespassing and destruction of others' property.
Let's all look to finding the facts, and then decide what is the best course.
If you have more detail, "Anonymous", please fill us in!

This is intended to be an open forum, with very few rules or constraints. We want more discussion, and the freedom to express ideas for all. If you process potatoes in any way (from crisps to frozen strips to dehy to salad), or are in a related industry (suppliers or customers of processors), please join the discussion. Even if you have an unrelated comment or question. Or suggested topic to address.
