I suspect his “good friend” Bob Goldberg, had something to do with this.
The growing body of evidence suggesting that GMO’s pose a threat to our health and environment, it increases use of herbicide, pesticide (documented deformations in local fish and amphibians), and the immunity increase in weeds and pests that require even stronger toxins are all related to this issue, yet were barely mentioned.
Some of the $35 million that is being spent fighting labeling must have gone to people involved with this one sided debate, this is good as I will not be making any pledges to QED in the near future.
