A hot topic as of recent has been GM (Genetically Modified) Foods and concerns have been raised about their patenting, lack of labels, and their possible unforeseen negative effects. Some people have called for the removal of GM Foods and some scream for a forward rush into them and yet almost no one is looking at its most important issue: purpose.
             There's a beautiful picture painted by media, rumor, and urban mythology in which companies like Monsanto and DuPont have descended from the heavens to don halos in order to feed the starving masses. Before we accept their fairy tale ending, let's take a look at the story.

But the circumstances surrounding the incident are a bit unclear.

             And two sides were presented to Noah Adams, host of All Things Considered, by Dan Charles, author of "Lords of the Harvest: Biotech, Big Money and the Future of Food", the first in Schmeiser's defense.
             "It blew in. Percy Schmeiser, out of curiousity, sprayed a section of the field with Round-up so that all of the conventional canola would die. It so happe...
