DESCRIPTION:If you want to find out the pro-transgenic arguments, go search the 
 internet.  While reading you might want to ask yourself a few 
 questions:\n\n1. Who is conducting the research and what is their 
 relationship with the biotech industry?\n\n2. Who is funding the research?  
 And who is their parent funder?  And theirs? And theirs?\n3. Who monetarily 
 benefits from the research?\n\n4. When you read information from the FDA 
 and USDA, you might want to search a bit more and find out how many people 
 employed by that agency have worked in the biotech industry.  While this 
 campaign is not focused on conspiracy theories, it is logical that if an 
 agency has multiple clear ties to an industry, their approach cannot help 
 but be biased.\n\n5. Since this technology is comparatively new, is there 
 any data on the long term effects of human consumption of GMO’s?  Are you 
 comfortable being part of an experiment?\n\nThe Science\n\nAlthough this is 
 primarily a campaign about the right to informed choice, we also want it to 
 be an educational campaign.  We encourage you to find out for yourselves 
 and see what you think about what’s out there on the net in terms of 
 data. And while you’re finding out about their safety for humans, we also 
 encourage you to sift through the data that shows how GMO crops are 
 affecting the rest of the world.  What other countries are doing about 
 GMO’s and why?   How are they are affecting the environment.  The sites 
 listed below are great beginning resources.\n\nInstitute For Responsible 
 Technology\nUnion Of Concerned Scientists\nCenter For Food Safety –  they 
 have a great app for iPhone and androids for GMO free shopping\n\nOnce you 
 start, the supply of linking here and there never stops!\n
