My pal T-dude over at Macerating Shallots posted about this and I'm spreading the word. The USDA is tinkering with its already lax "three heads are better than one" policy about genetically modified crops.
Public comment is only open till September 11th, but I suggest you go here for a good summary about proposals and how they may affect your world. You'll also have the option to sign an online petition registering your concerns.
Personally, I think Pandora's box has been opened, letting the genie out of the bottle and the horses out of the barn and every other tortured metaphor you can think of regarding GMOs. When you start reading about the cross-contamination that's already occured, it makes you feel like that only thing that's safe to eat is some spiked Kool-Aid to end it all.
Yeah, I know, GMOs have not been proven to be dangerous, much in the same way that it's not proven that wearing a swimsuit made of bacon while swimming in shark-infested waters is unwise but... do we really want to take that chance?
