"GMO" is simply a means of altering genetic material to create a desired effect. One effect is resistance to certain herbicides that are less toxic than more common herbicides. (all that brouhaha over Monsato is about as laughably inane as Jenny McCarthy's crusade against vaccines).

Other effects include vitamin enrichment (Golden Rice) or the production of pest-repelling chemicals (Bt Talong) that are WIDELY used in "organic" farming and which are completely safe to humans.

"Non-GMO" and "Organic" are dangerous buzzwords that mislead you into thinking things are "safer" without telling you how much toxic crap is actually used to produce the food.

Yes its an alteration of the plant gene to kill a specific pest. But the real question is , will it be safe for human to consume a plant that has a built-in pesticide? I don't know if Bill Gates Fund (Monsanto) is sincere in their effort to feed the people of africa with GMO or they were just lab rats, a large scale experiments on the effect of GMO to human.

I think certified "Organic" is safer than other food crops. Being organic is not limited to Non-GMO, its about protecting the environment, fair labor, and natural way of producing our food. It cannot be certified organic, unless some third party genius' will validate the whole process.
