I want to thank everyone for their input into this alarming phone call. That is why this forum is so important. If you don't stand back and analyze information that is given to us we can easily get caught up in the fear spiral in a hurry.

One point I would like to contribute is in regards to Genetically Modified foods. I am a farmer with a University degree so I think I am qualified to say that the majority of crops grown today are NOT GM. It takes years to develop the genetics. It is not something that someone can do in a blink of an eye. All of the wheat, barley, navy beans, and peas we grow are from natural seed. We grow some GM corn which is sold to an ethanol plant.
We do not have to grow it though as there is still non-GMO seed available.

My point is for Dr Deagle to say they are going to feed everyone GM food is instilling unnecessary fear in my mind. Hope this helps.
