We at Mindfully.org consider all genetic engineering—plant, animal, or pharmaceutical—unsafe. Humans are not capable of understanding the complexity of life at any meaningful level. Corporate genetic engineering is less than sophomoric--much like reaching into a giant high-voltage electrical junction box while blind folded and standing barefoot in a puddle of salt water. While the rest of the world destroys GMO crops in the fields, they cry out to the US to join them. But US citizens are kept in the dark by corporately-owned media which scrubs all news of relevant details.

Seeds of Deception by Jeffrey M. Smith - Exposing industry and government lies about the safety of the genetically engineered foods you're eating. Highly recommended by Mindfully.org. This book exposes the entire GMO industry for what it is—profit at the expense of our environment, society, and health. All this so that a very few may benefit financially.
