Excerpts:
"Unsuspecting consumers by the tens of millions are being allowed to purchase and consume unlabeled genetically engineered foods, despite findings by FDA scientists that these foods could pose serious risks. New genetically engineered crops are being approved by federal agencies despite admissions that they will contaminate native and conventional plants and pose other significant new environmental threats. In short, there has been a complete abdication of any responsible legislative or regulatory oversight of genetically engineered foods. Clearly, now is a critical time to challenge the government’s lack of regulatory oversight on this technology, and demand labeling of all GE foods so that consumers have a choice in the marketplace.
At the site you'll briefly read what Prince Charles and a few others had to say about Genetically engineered food.
Here is what Pope John Paul II said to 50,000 farmers:
" 'resist the temptation of high productivity and profit that work to the detriment of the respect of nature.' The pontiff added that "when (farmers) forget this basic principle and become tyrants of the earth rather than its custodians ... sooner or later the earth rebels."
"if modern farming techniques don't reconcile themselves with the simple language of nature in a healthy balance, the life of man will run ever greater risks, of which already we are seeing worrying signs."

I earlier today I got a wakeup slap from myself after reading about the Gm rice plan of messing with china's rice farmers and seeds. Made me wonder what else is at risk for us here today. No wonder the driving force of the universe (us), is perpetuating thoughts of danger and danger and smarten up and take charge of you life and your planet, how conscious awareness does create the material world and what we need to learn to change this course we're on and fulfill our destinies and change this shit around. I get so carried away. Thank you guys, for being here, and for giving me direction. All of us.

Ghandi died decades before the technology of genetically modifying organisms and genetically engineering food first emerged.
