Wow! I am really surprised to learn that Belinda Martineau and Mitt Romney have so much in common — this idea that saying something often enough and loud enough makes it fact even when it is far from the truth: Belinda’s involvement with the development of the FlavrSavr tomato. At least 15 individuals at Calgene […]

GMO foods are not developed in a laboratory with mad scientists, crazy farmers or vicious chemists from demonized companies hunkered over a vat of noxious potion with intent to change the DNA of food products, making evil products to sell to the unsuspecting consumers.

I have very closely followed John Garamendi’s career since the spring of 1978, when I heard him speak on the Quad at UC Davis.
