By I still stand by my argument that it is very unlikely to see many critical studies of GMO coming out from academia (here in the US) due to the research funding issues which is dominated by seed companies.

I base that opinion by the history of antibiotics and hormones used in meat production and forest clear cutting consequences to fishery breeding grounds in the PNW.

I had a girl friend graduate student in forestry at Oregon State U and I lived in Oregon for 30 yrs and I am well acquainted with the now diminishing influences (but not so waning 20 + yrs ago) of the timber industries in the PNW upon public policies.

It is a very ironical and clear cut difference if one bothers to pay attention to the research coming out from the schools of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences vs the schools of forestry when it comes to the environmental effects of clear cutting on fish breeding grounds.
