European consumers, farmers, retailers, NGOs and Governments are leading the global resistance to GM food and farming. Not sure where writer got his/her information from but this is inaccurate. USA leads the WORLD in testing GMO products. Followed by Asian market who pay the most to USA for...

Quote: Okay--so that makes sense to me. Available nitrogen determines protein levels and amino acid levels. Likewise amounts of vitamins and minerals are going to be somewhat determined by the soil levels and nutrition provided. Therefore I find it VERY hard to believe that corn that yields 10...
