NPR is running this piece because they receive endowments from Archer Daniels Midland and Monsanto (and possibly ConAgra). I am almost certain that one of the conditions of that "endowment" is that they do not run any "anti-GMO" pieces. But hey, the pro-GMO pieces are great!

It's very similar to how they stopped making ANY mention of global warming as soon as they began receiving endowments from ExxonMobil.

I as a scientist beleive we don't know enough about them to judge either way adn that they should not have been let out of teh lab, but that isn't the issue here.

It IS an issue when the piece is saying that "too much caution" on this issue could "sacrifice great benefits". They're saying that they ARE completely safe, and trying to help rush them out the door.
