      <![CDATA[And I'm sorry, but you couldn't have a study long enough or thorough enough (let alone any funded by INDUSTRY) at this point in time that could possibly have uncovered the potential harm spraying a food crop with Round Up could engender. This ain't our first rodeo being sold products that initially pass tests with flying colors.

      <![CDATA[It's not the GMO presence in food that bothers me--it's their presence in the agriculture and eco systems, the unintended consequences, and, more than anything, the patented seed strains, which have caused farmers to riot in India.
