(and god knows what it has done to me. maybe nothing.) but i don't want to eat it anymore if i have a choice, not just for health reasons but in a small way, to boycott evil biotech companies. kat, i'm glad japan is starting that. hopefully it continues but it's so difficult. i have no hope for the u.s. and i really hope the same fate doesn't happen in europe (but i have my doubts) riana, i haven't read that and will probably have to look for it (of course, i already really really hate the absolutely EVIL monsanto. i get so angry when i hear about all of the inhumane things they do.) i didn't hear about the potatoes either! i'm reading "real food" right now by nina planck. very interesting read like the omnivore's dilemma. thanks for the book tip. angry b!!! you’re back! i know what you mean. sadly, lots of legitimate research gets “suppressed.” i’m sure i’ve spent most of my life eating gmo foods in the u.s.

I'm thinking Greenpeace and "Jonathan Campbell, Health Consultant" may not be the best sources for the kind of objective testing and analysis I'm looking for...

Have you read Botany of Desire? He talks about Monsanto and their modified potatoes that finally got yanked from the fields, because it was so bad. Four years of those in every McDo in the world. Those modified taters were bought buy them in particular. Gross. J'en veux pas non plus. That Bt is some scary shit. Have you read Botany of Desire?
