"What people miss is that the modification of crops impacts everyone and exports the error from the local to the global.

I do not wish to pay —or have my descendants pay — for errors by executives of Monsanto.

We should exert the precautionary principle there —our non-naive version — simply because we would discover errors after considerable damage."
