Grandpa was a big advocate from the 1950s right up to the day he died. Looks like science supports his position.
Was Grandpa a scientist ?
He was a farmer with a masters degree in chemistry with an agricultural specialization. Finished his Master's degree during the depression and than after WW2 started full time with Canada Packers and ultimately ended up as VP there. He was heavily involved in starting their salmon farms out west and their canola processing plants. That's the Canadian side of the family. The other side were chicken farmers that immigrated from The Netherlands during the late 40s.Quote:

GMO-the real impact of it, we will know in.......maybe 20-30 years.
Until then-everyone approaches this topic as he/she sees it fit.
Meanwhile-we should ask the Monarch Butterflies ,if the GMO is actually contributing to their dismay(so i heard)
Just plant milk weed. It is what they eat.Quote:
