Hi all
There may be valuable information at the web site of the "Institute for Responsible Technology," but there are also some utterly absurd statements. They claim that "GMOs are inherently unsafe." This is simply false. 

Genetic modification is a very common process in nature and is neither inherently unsafe nor inherently safe, depending on what genes and what organisms are affected. 

A statement like this grossly oversimplifies reality into a neat package that people can memorize and spread, like a foolish rumor. It discourages inquiry and proves that some people would rather have easy answers than dig in and get the hard facts.
