GMO's are safe !

       This guy expresses my view on the subject. <  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM1x2wnhtz4 >   Unfortunately, like most people expressing their opinions on GMO's (pro or con) he is long on generalities and short on supporting material.  Most of the con's that I have looked into, make the mistake of using material that is not peer reviewed.  To me, that is a red flag, giving question to it's credibility.  Most of the GMO critics that I take the time to read or view reference work and statements of Dr. Don Huber of Purdue University.  When put under the scientific microscope, his research and conclusions could not be replicated.  Purdue and it's scientific community has distanced themselves from him.
      I noticed a logo in the video -- "VOCATIV".  <http://www.vocativ.com/>  This turns out to be a media and technology company founded by Mati Kochavi.  Vocativ uses proprietary data-mining technology(??) to explore the [deep web](??) in order to discover stories and generate original content.  Interesting -- I'll keep track of them.  They may be more credible than the run of the mill media we get most of our information from.
      Another information source that piquet my interest is "Genetic Literacy Project".
