his comment regarding "it has not shown to be unsafe". Really Nick? It hasn't shown to be "safe" either and shouldn't that really be your first comment?? It really has had next to no testing, especially long term testing on what it does to a human body. Sure we can take a corn seed and inject it with something and watch what it does but a human being is way to complex for any simple input/output testing. And since we have an ex-Monsanto person running a budget-cut FDA overseeing a Monsanto self-test then there are no real consequences so I guess we all just take it up the...you know what.
