H.Kuska comment: The term "well-respected" is relative. This link gives: "Meet Our Experts".

An important question is: are any of the above actually "spokesman" for the GMO industry.

Please see the Google search Concerning Professor Folta, one of the board of directors, linked to below.

A recent view of the general gmo labeling discussion:

If you are interested in reading biofortified.com's view of the GMO world, I suggest that you balance their view by also reading gmwatch.org's view (for example):

"... “There was an overreaction by the industry,” ... “It’s sort of an issue blown out of proportion. In the end, people don’t really care that much.” Anti-GMO activists may not get the reaction want they wanted either. .. ..."

The consequences of a labeling law in Vermont were not what either side expected.

Avoid by growing all of your own foods you can. It is way too late to avoid GMO in your food chain in grocery stores. Very sad and very dangerous to our food supply. Don't give me a lecture that GMO is just fine. It is EVIL, deceptive, manipulated propaganda, and corrupt!

The following was stated: "people don't care"

H. Kuska comment: the link below gives an actual Associated Press poll:

Title: "Poll: Americans Support Labeling Genetically Modified Foods"

" A large majority of Americans support labeling of genetically modified foods, whether they care about eating them or not."

"According to a December Associated Press-GfK poll, 66 percent of Americans favor requiring food manufacturers to put labels on products that contain genetically modified organisms, or foods grown from seeds engineered in labs. Only 7 percent are opposed to the idea, and 24 percent are neutral.

Fewer Americans say genetically modified ingredients are important to them when judging whether a food is healthy. About 4 in 10 said the presence of such ingredients was very or extremely important to them."

Albert seems to think that "It’s sort of an issue blown out of proportion." However, since the introduction of Genetically Engineered products into our food supply there has been an increase in people with allergies and illnesses that has no explanation and few people are doing the research necessary to determine why. The companies that produce these Genetically Engineered products are doing everything they can to discredit those that oppose them instead of promoting good science and investigation the why.

Brace yourself. Plants may soon create own fertilizer from thin air .

''The researchers from Washington University in St. Louis engineered a
bacteria that uses photosynthesis to create oxygen during the day, and
at night, uses nitrogen to create chlorophyll for photosynthesis.''

albert, plants have been making their own nutrients for millennia, that is what they do.

Some of their nutrient, not all or we would not need GMO,s or organic gardening.

Both Organic gardening & GMO,s are used to make more plants grow better & produce more crops/food.
