Hmmm . . . The Hudson Institute vs. The University of Michigan Not sure who to believe on that one. I'll give you a week to give me an unbiased source.

Personally, I trust the U of Michigan . If the data were proven false, they would remove their claims from their website, or at least annotate that there has been disagreement. We are talking university research here, they aren't going to show a BIASED opinion. Again, show me your sources, please!

Show me the sources and I might consider your opinion. Otherwise . . .

Want more? "Organic Farming Can Feed the World" Yields in developing countries could increase dramatically by switching to organic farming, Perfecto said. While that seems counterintuitive, it makes sense because in developing countries, many farmers still do not have the access to the...

And LASTLY (I promise) isn't soil a resource? Then you should consider it in your equation on making the most of our resources with conventional and gm crops. It has been DOCUMENTED that gm soy produces poorly in droughts compared to soy in organically maintained soils. SEE...

And to answer ksacres, no . . . I'm pretty sure I AM eating GM gunk and not having a say in it. However, I tend to make as much of my own food as I can from basic ingredients over which I have a little more control, when I purchase them. I do eat in restaurants occassionally, so I am eating...

I don't know if anyone was judging anyone else. I'm hoping that this thread is seen as more educational than judgemental, because even if the tone sidetracked to defensive on some participant's parts (certainly not me ), I think most of us have stuck to the facts, rather than blind...

Sorry, it's just that uninformed proclamations tend to ruffle my feathers. I don't mean it to be a personal attack in any way, I just get upset when people repeat a mantra without having facts to support it. I also want to point out that with compost, you can add conventional produce and get...

For those who are interested in potential health concerns related to GMOs here is a page that outlines the results from one study on feeding GM soy to rats, and also has links to other concerns with GMOs: http://www.pccnaturalmarkets.com/issues/gmconcerns/reproductive.html

FYI, bigger and more complex "mouse traps" often backfire and indeed become traps, just traps we never intended. The more complex of a solution you try to find, the more likely it will fail. That is just the nature of complexity. Really? Do you believe nuclear energy is an answer? Where do...

All GM crops are owned and many have terminator genes. That means there is a high price for those who chose to grow them and/or eat them, as well as possibly a high price for everyone. The myth that poor and hungry people will benfit from GM crops is a flat out lie. They are there to make the...

Bioaccumulation. A lot of toxins are fat soluble, which means that the purity of the feed you feed your chicken is even more important than the purity of the produce that you feed yourself. http://www.reneeloux.com/go_organic/dirty_dozen.html Those of you who are foregoing organic milk...
