For what it's worth, Nature Biotechnology published a similar article to my point this week: Also discussed are the Hawaii papaya and the Floridian orange, neither of which I had known of before the reading.Even Monsanto and the biotech industry unwittingly have enhanced the false GM/non-GM dichotomy by parroting the agronomic benefits of any products under the GM umbrella. This has led to a debate framed by oversimplified pro-GM or anti-GM stances. Instead, the discussion should be about pros and cons of individual products: Bt corn or EPSPS soybeans and so on.
