Genetically modified crops that are on the agriculture market are perfectly safe. You people dont like it because you don't undersand it.

Ann: Not sure if by “this article” you mean the blog post or the article I’m quoting. But to be clear, if it is the former, I’m not calling Simon a “Bush crony” in any way.
