Thank God I live in Switzerland, where we voted last year for a moratorium of five years, while the effects of GE crops are studied. Not only are there of signs low yields and the effects of the Terminator Technology, but there are definite signs that the GE crops are genetically unstable, and that transgenic shifts (genes moving from species to species, or even from the plant kingdom to the animal kingdom) are taking place with alarming regularity. The big companies are putting their profits waaaay ahead of the quality of life of their customers. "This is how the World will end: not with a bang [nuclear war] but with a whimper [of genetically damaged people starving to death because they cannot grow from sterile seeds]". I suggest reading "The Godwhale" by J.T. Bass for an interesting view on the subject (which was written in 1975!).
