This is not the place to debate the merits of Lynas's new position on GMOs, though I largely but not entirely agree with it.
Hi- I'm writing a piece about gmos for my school magazine at Ithaca College, and I was wondering if I could possibly get a quote about the detriments of a lack of biodiversity to GMO crops.
I should add that I think often even opponents of GMOs sort of mix up [different types of] concerns.
I mean, we by-and-large try to avoid not just GMOs, but anything that's been sprayed in pesticides and herbicides.
I helped to organize this special edition we did on GMOs (http://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/signal-to-noise-special-edition-gmos-and-our-food/), of which this article is a part, and I have to say, I started out a skeptic, too, but, IMO, the facts just don't back up any danger of GM foods.

GMO Answers launched its third annual 'Get to Know GMOs' month this October to answer consumers' most pressing questions about GMOs.

Last week I wrote about how the No on 37 campaign - the California ballot initiative that would require labeling of GMOs foods - is relying on experts with questionable credentials to do its bidding.
Don't talk about dietary needs or GMOs or stupid-ass, gluten-free bullshit because that's going to lead you to the anti-vaccers who are like, 'I'm not vaccinating my child because I know better than science.' Other than, 'Hey, my kid farted on yours,' don't talk about anything.
