7. "Ban" is not the same as saying that growing hasn't yet been approved.

Alternet is not a good source for science stories. Not even close. Mark Lynas is an ethical advocate. The hit piece you posted is completely FOS. It's time to realize that the anti-GMO movement is unethical, ignorant, and downright despicable. If you're going to bash Lynas, then you've chosen the wrong side of science, history, the environment, and ethics. The reality is that the anti-GMO movement can't win in actual science-based discussion, so it resorts to lame attempts at personal attacks, utilizing some very ugly slight of hand "connections" as if that changes the reality. It's ugly to the core. If you support it, then you have no business in this group.
