I am opposed to patenting living things, but I don’t think the case has been made for banning GMO’s outright. I am no fan of Monsanto, et al, but not against improving plants to feed an out-of-control population. Cuba does intense organic farming, but their dairy industry provides only enough milk to give each child a pint a day; adequate, but little surplus. We all need to look at the larger picture and all the factors that go into forming an opinion on these issues.

Of course, Obama picked Vilsack for the USDA, so we can’t expect any trends except for even more aggressive attempts to market GMOs. Maybe Michelle Obama should’ve run for President; her organic garden proves that she’s very anti-GMO.
