Please help out a researcher studying useful applications of transgenic
plants by answering three simple questions below.

snip
What does 'transgenic' mean?

It means the genes of another species were used to alter the genetics of the
existing plant or animal. If you live in the USA, Transgenic goods are in
your home, unlabeled, right now. Look it up.
The future is here.

Unlabeled because a fundamental DISHONESTY in this industry has lobbied
Congress and SUED organic farmers out of existence & done everything in
its considerable Monsantoesque authoritarianist POWER to keep the public
from HAVING A CHOICE.

If it were such a great technology, the public would be given a choice.

Since they have PROVEN don't want us to have a choice, hence care NOTHING
about individual wishes, that suggests they may also not care about our
health.

If the industry were honest, they wouldn't fear full disclosure on labeling.

Since they have PROVEN they cannot stand proud in the light of day with
full disclosures & honesty, how does that make their claims of unutterable
safety more credible?

Until this industry stops being merely propogandistic & attempts honesty,
nothing they say about safety can be believed either. Until this industry
permits personal choice in product selection by full disclosure on labels,
it is rightly assumed all claims of concern for human well being & health
is mere pretense.

Note that companies like Monsanto who dominate this field also dominate in
the field of toxic chemical pollutants which they likewise promote as safe
& healthful & through deceit & propoganda encourage people to dump
willynilly throughout the environment.

Finally, because so many of the products are sterile OR re-propogation is
criminalized to protect the chemical & transgenic industry's profits,
farmers can no longer save their own seed for future crops, but are
imprisoned by the requirement of buying new seed for every crop. As this
industry muscles into third-world economies, they suck the lifeblood out
of already impoverished peoples.

Public DISCLOSURE for public CHOICE. Until those two fundamental
essentials are met, this industry exists upon lies, & most certainly
nothing else they say can be assumed to be honest either.
