Here is an interesting 10-slide presentation on Why GMOs Can Never Be Safe
Story at-a-glance * Genetic modification interferes fundamentally with the naturally-occurring genetic modifications that organisms undergo in order to survive * An organism's genome is not static but fluid, and its biological functions are interconnected with its environment and vice versa, such that trying to control genetic changes via artificial modification is a dangerous game. * Compared with natural genetic modification, artificial genetic modification is inherently hazardous because it lacks the precision of the natural process, while enabling genes to be transferred between species that would never have been exchanged otherwise * Artificial genetic modification uses horizontal gene transfer, which involves injecting a gene from one species into a completely different species; this yields unexpected and often unpredictable results, including the transfer of GM genes to humans sourece: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/08/06/genetic-mo\ dification.aspx File under The War on GMOs *********** GMO, Blackwater, Monsanto, Journalist Jeremy Scahill states in The Nation: "... entities closely linked to the private security firm Blackwater have provided intelligence, training and security services to US and foreign governments as well as several multinational corporations, including Monsanto, Chevron, the Walt Disney Company, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and banking giants Deutsche Bank and Barclays, according to documents obtained by The Nation. Blackwater's work for corporations and government agencies was contracted using two companies owned by Blackwater's owner and founder, Erik Prince: Total Intelligence Solutions and the Terrorism Research Center (TRC). Prince is listed as the chairman of both companies in internal company documents, which show how the web of companies functions as a highly coordinated operation."

This may well be literally the fight of our lives. Certainly the quality of our lives given scientific studies that suggest GMO food is not good for animals and people.
