 [house of the hanged man] Stewart Brand’s Environmental Heresies: When it comes to genetically modified organisms (GMOs), the topic of page 2 of the article, I’m a little more skeptical. In principle I buy into the value of GMed crop to produce more food cheaper, which could help the population burden and could lessen starvation and poverty.

 [The Free Speech Zone] Awake! awake! fear! fire! foes! awake! awake!: Local actions around GMOs, in particular, are designed to address important gaps in federal and state policy, and mitigate potentially serious threats to public health, the environment, and survival of local farm economies. Additionally, some communities are taking a further step, and benefiting economically from the positive effect of becoming known as "GE-Free," supporting farmers and the local food system by promoting organic and sustainable agriculture in their jurisdictions.

 [Blog.622design.com] Bulletproof Vest: GMOS (Genetically Modified Organisms) Archives: My father, who is a rice scientist, is familiar with all the arguments on Genetically-Modified Organisms (GMOs). He is not really outspoken about where he lies on the matter, but being surrounded by plant breeders and the like who create GMOs all the time, he's quite sure that the benefits, particularly for economic cereals like corn and rice, far outweigh the disadvantages and risks (as they are few).

[Luisteodoro.com] LuisTeodoro.com » Blog Archive » Food fights: the unresolved issues: Corporations like Monsanto have explored the possibility of including genes into their GMOs which would make seeds viable only for one planting season: that is, the plants grown from such seeds cannot reproduce, so that farmers will have to buy new seeds each time—an option that would be disastrous to the world’s poor farmers once GMO crops become the global norm rather than the exception (which is exactly what the giant corporations want).

 [Adam.rosi-kessel.org] Adam Rosi-Kessel's Fair and Balanced Weblog: (Have you ever noticed that the attack—”this is a straw man argument”—can, itself, be a straw man argument?) Prof. Solum, perhaps understandably, focuses in on the standard of proof proferred in the definition, and thus reads the definition as self-defeating.
