Whooooah.  Careful, Michael my friend, if I were at the other end of 
that e-mail I'd think you might be straying dangerously close to 
fighting words. This could degenerate into a flame war inappropriate 
for the NAFEX forum, and the opportunity to educate on the issue would 
be lost.

This from someone who agrees with you 100% on the issue of inadequate 
testing and all-round evilness of GM products.

Because each GM product is NOT scrutinized to the
hilt.

GM testing always operates under unproven assumptions
about what might or might not be problematic because
there is no way to test all potential impacts of GM
foods. So the questions is, are the testers missing
things? The answer is yes:

Where is the safety testing of GM soya?

Could GM Foods Cause Allergies?

There are HUNDREDS of articles on the interent
concerning the failures to test GM foods adequately.
That you seem to be unaware of any of them is a
testament to either your ignorance or your dishonesty.
That you choose to post on topics of which you appear
to be completely ignorant is bad enough. If you post
again claiming that GM foods are adequately tested, I
will know beyond any doubt that something more than
ignorance is at issue.

Not only has the testing been shoddy, but those who
criticize GM foods or the testing procedures are
likely to face retribution:

of-gm-organisms-barred-from-canada.html

You want to be fair? Here's what's fair. Quit growing
all GM prodcuts until they have all been adequately
tested. It is not the public's burden to prove a GM
organism can harm a person, an animal or a bee, it is
the GM grower's burden to show that there is no way
that GM organism can harm anyone. That has not been
done.
