[Apple-Crop] National Academy of Sciences finds GMOs to be 'safe'

[Jerry Frecon]

It is not necessary because we have good apples. If we were planting papayas and needed disease resistant varieties to keep our planting alive then we would plant  GMO varieties as the papaya industry has.  It all comes down to risk benefit.  The term safe does not imply bias but the fact that they are safe.  Good science.

Anybody rushing out to order Arctic Apples now? Does the 'safe' in quotes imply bias?
