Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Food Safety

By

Dear Jennifer,

I have been spending a pleasant Saturday morning doing gardening at the GMO Pundit safety paper list. It’s now a bit neater at the start.

I’ve added a few more papers to bring it over 200.

Most importantly, I’ve added a button at the right sidebar near the top

“200 plus GM food safety papers”

So to tell people about the safety papers say:

“go to http://gmopundit.blogspot.com/”

or Google GMO Pundit

look at the sidebar on the right, and just click the 200 plus GM food safety papers button

Best regards
David Tribe Ph.D.

And we are only up to ‘B’. Who said there hadn’t been a lot of testing of genetically modified foods?

    Fantastic piece of work by David and very worthy of a post here.

    GMO Pundit is a must read & great resource.

    Trouble is, there’s lots of money to be made, and votes to be gained, from scientific illiteracy.

    WA’s Alan Carpenter is counting on ignorant voters to overrule those who understand their business — farmers. See http://www.gmobelus.com/news.php?viewStory=124

    There’s Australian activists counting on ignorant urbanites to wreak vengeance on Australian farmers who plant GM crops, and even the whack-jobs at the GeneEthics campaign have to make up two different stories about the source of what looks like spurious data.
    See, http://www.gmobelus.com/news.php?viewStory=102

    They’ll even make up stuff about cow hormones in fish and people believe it. See, http://www.gmobelus.com/news.php?viewStory=143

    It’s nice to see good info on the ‘net, but it’s time to look at the peddlers of ignorance, and those who pander to it.

    Let’s start with Carpenter and ‘GeneEthics’.
