Terry:
The general public's distrust of the fruits of science is not altogether unjustified.
Yes, the failure of our education system is in large part to blame.
Critical thinking isn't taught, nor the basics of science.
But the "scientific" chemical industries has wreaked great havoc on our health, even as they've given us great benefits.
More to the point, GMOs are already important for feeding the worlds growing population and will be even more critically important in the future.
But the questions folks should be asking,
is specifically WHICH genetic modification are we to be subject to?
The "Golden rice", the protein enriched wheat, the drought resistant or salt tolerating crops all seem extremely desirable.
But, I have real qualms about "Roundup ready" GMOs, for example, because it means we get to eat the breakdown products of Round Up which are proving carcinomas.
The BT crops spook me as those bio-molecular mechanisms tend to be evolutionarily conserved . ETC
But our GMO salmon would be welcome on my table without reservation.
Part of AQB's sales burden will be educating folks about the difference.
