You probably should have led with that, I'd be interested to hear why you personally were protesting (was it GMOs, or Monsanto, or both -- as thenewgreen says below, people need to separate the science from the business practices). But honestly I had the GMO discussion, extensively, a few months ago in this thread and multiple others. I did a lot of reading, it was a hot-button Supreme Court issue, etc. Now I'm less willing to dive back into it. I'm pro-GMO, anti-life patenting, although that's murky, and I'm ambivalent about Monsanto -- they're working within the structure we've built. One thing I do know is that as a company they've made a lot of important advances in the past. I also know that the green revolution isn't possible without hardy wheat strains. Like I said, I'm not really looking to debate a months-old topic. But I'd be interested in why you protested, and how, and so on. That sounds fascinating.
