Bukar Usman (D.V.M., M.V.S.c)‘s insight:
"..I have no interest in being a Monsanto, or even a GMO “apologist.” What irks me to no end, however, is the pervading mindset among a subset of elites in western culture that anything new is bad, that we must harken back to a food system that barely fed 4 or 5 billion global inhabitants at a time when most of us are concerned about feeding 9 billion over the next 30 or 40 years.
Then again, it’s times like this when I have to take my own advice and forget about the radical fringes of our society and instead focus on the >98% of the consuming public who don’t buy into these crazy conspiracy theories. Unfortunately, the 2% who might buy in, may actually be moving the needle in their efforts to gum up the regulatory works." – Andy Vance
