In addition‚ you cited an exceedingly interesting fact‚ one I had not found during my research‚ that in almost all study cases the GM crops produced 6 to 11 percent less yields for studied soybean crops (Exposed: the great

searched for “GMO food labeling”. As I expected a large number of links appeared. The one that most intrigued me was one by the New York Times‚ “U.S. Senate to Vote on GMO Food Labeling Bill”‚ co-written by Jennifer Steinhauer and Stefanie Strom.
