original

excellent article, well referenced, on the possible dangers of GMO and the the lack of quality independent testing that has been done before they have been allowed on the store shelves and in the fields because of the influence and power of the corporate bio/chem/ag-industry.

Jeffrey Smith Responds to a Biotech Proponent's Accusations and Spin

Note from Jeffrey Smith
In September, 2005, the respected South African investigative magazine noseweek ran a five-page interview with me that was described by a GMO campaigner as "the hardest knock" that the country's biotech industry had ever taken from the media. To read the interview, go to the September 2005 issue of Spilling the Beans, at http://www.seedsofdeception.com/Public/Newsletter/Sept05Rammeddownourthroats/index.cfm.

Hans Lombard, a public relations consultant for the biotech industry, wrote a rebuttal to Noseweek that was pure industry spin. Fortunately, I was given the opportunity to respond. Both his letter and a condensed version of mine were published side by side in their January issue. The magazine put my full response on its website.

The following is the text of Lombard's letter, broken up so that I can respond to each accusation.
