As long as the food is labeled as GM, and properly tested for health risks and
nutrition, OK.
We have hundreds of years of knowledge about the safety of non-GM varieties. Who
knows what the long term effect of BT corn or Roundup treated GM crops will be?
Shouldn't we at least have the option to not buy them if we choose?

Exactly. But they consider the sheep too stupid to know the
difference, and that some may actually be scared by it.
An internal memo of Monsanto says, "We can't afford to lose one
dollar."
The situation with the soybean seems particularly scary where they are
bombarded with more pesticides as the new strains have been developed
to resist pesticides. Milk is loaded too.
I didn't finish the documentary because it would be too depressing.
