""They don't even want to see field research," Strauss said, "which is required for analysis of ecological effects as well as benefits, and they have been making strides toward shutting the industry down." Oh horrors. They're upset they can't do field tests. Pity. I think the message is loud and clear. People have concerns about genetically modified organisms. Field tests are about the last thing anyone I know wants to see.
