I picked something up at my local health food store that I thought some folks might be interested in. I have not checked out this info, so please DO NOT take my word for it - but
please research it if it's something you're interested in.
According to a paper they were passing out at the store, the U*DA is within days of passing GM alfalfa on to the public. Also (according to this paper) due to cross pollination, fields within 20 miles of GM foods can be rendered unable to reproduce. The person writing the paper had concerns for organic meats among other things.
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement was reported to say that there are not enough consumers interested in organic foods to block approval. There is a 60 day comment period before it will pass -
but it ends February 16th. The paper gave an addy to a comment form for those interested:
