Slate has published a thorough study of the opposition to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food, and found that such foods are safe to eat, and, in some cases, safer than crops that haven't been so modified.
There has been at least one unfortunate case where anti-GMO activists have prevented poor people in poor countries from receiving health benefits easily and cheaply.
There are legitimate concerns about who sells GMOs, or herbicides designed to work with them, and about the development of resistant weeds, but neither of these have to do with the safety of GMOs in your morning cereal, etc.
Thanks for reading. Read Slate.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.

Sunspots 464
Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: Christianity Today has a review of Noah (the movie) with links to some other important reviews by Christians. (I haven't seen the film.)The reviewer concludes that two of the rumors going around about the movie are false. The characters do believe in God. It's not a flaming love nature, forget humans movie.
Christianity: A good article on "20 Things I wish I'd Known in My Late Twenties." (I'm past that, but most of the suggestions are still good)
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware has an article, "Twelve Really Useful Links You Need to Know to Stay Safe on the Internet."
From USA Today: "10 things you didn't know you could do with Android." (Phones, that is. And also some of them with an Android tablet.) And, yes, I didn't know about them. Some really cool stuff, such as unlocking the phone with your face . . .
Science: In God and Nature, a voice of reason on eating foods derived from Genetically Modified Organisms.
Wired has a Space Photo of the Day slide show.
