Unit 4.3 DB: GM Food

It is almost too easy!  Of course I am going to ask you to discuss Genetically Modified Organisms!  Please read the following article from Vanity Fair (2008).  The article is a little long, but if you are not familiar with the Monsanto Company and their Round-up ready seeds (genetically modified to resist the pesticide Round Up), then it will be eye-opening.  The articled by Whitman provides a slightly different viewpoint.

This discussion board is intended to promote an open-ended discussion- we will see where your comments take us.  I want your ecologically- and ethically- driven opinion on these articles and their contents.
