The issue is more a product of how we define "organic" than it is with any known problems with GM foods. For example, a GM crop with yellow mosaic virus resistance cross-pollinates (a natural process) with an organic crop. Future generations of the "organic" crop now contain the GM resistance; is it therefore now non-organic? If it isn't, why? Is "organic" thus determined by a plant's genetics? If so, how is this different than using hybridized plant strains in organic crops?
If I track down my sources, do you promise to change your mind?
