GMO Safety—Don't Believe the Industry Science —
26 Mar 2013 —
Howard Vlieger reviews new information on RNA and DNA damage from GMOs. In an Australian study, formaldehyde was found in Roundup-Ready corn.

Mothers Across America is a new anti-GMO organization that people can join to fight the GMO scourge.
New Extra-Legal Protection for GMO Companies Outrages Food Safety Advocates —
02 Apr 2013 —
President Obama and Congress have outraged food activists by approving a spending bill with a controversial rider that critics have dubbed the "Monsanto Protection Act." The rider says the government must allow the planting of genetically modified crops even if courts rule they pose health risks. Gregory Jaffe, director of the Biotechnology Project at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, and Wenonah Hauter, executive director of Food & Water Watch, debate the provision and the broader issues of genetically modified foods. (GP comment: Apparently, CSPI has been captured by the GM industry. Their position that the science so far says "GMOs are safe" is ignorant and ignoble.)
