I have an anecdotal anti-gmo story from today..

I was at the Post Office getting a package.. the Postman brought me the wrong package out and I discovered it before I left the PO. I went right back to him and let him know.. I excused myself to the lady who was now getting her business done.. she said.. "oh, that's okay."

He brought out my package and I said to the woman.. "Good, that's my case of organic corn spaghetti!".. She(who is a local lady on Kaua'i) said.. one way to stay away from gmo.. I said, "Yes, and gluten!"

P.S. I should add that the Will of the People on Kauai, who voted to have a buffer zone between Monsanto and Schools and Hospitals and to divulge what's in their spray has been overturned by a Fed Judge. We are not giving up.
