Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Greetings Members: This was found in another group. Since we all share a passion for wholesome, organic food, I thought it might be of interest...-----------Science has risen almost to the level of a sacred secular religion-if it is scientific it must be true... Partly due to the extensiveprocess required for scientific inquiry... But what if facts areintentionally left out, if studies are suppressed? Obviously, forscience to work at its best, it must be impartial...But today, regarding one of the most important scientificdiscussions possible, the facts are being intentionally squelched..Considering how this impacts the genetic purity of our food for timeto come, please consider supporting this professor in his attempt tostudy and publish what should have been THOROUGHLY studied andpublished BEFORE we started tinkering with GM foods.Can we afford to let self-interested parties control the scientific process?Other comments?Misty L.
