The magazine “Boston Review” has published in its September issue “a forum” on GM crops.
The “forum” kicked off with a long article by the well known GM proponent Dr Pamela Ronald promoting the value of genetic engineering for agriculture and attacking GM labelling.
The “Boston Review” also published 8 much shorter responses to Ronald’s article. However, 5 of these came from other GM proponents – some, like Nina Fedoroff and Robert Paarlberg, with biotech industry connections. Another response came from Greg Jaffe of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. CSPI is one of the very few consumer-advocacy groups to take a pro-GM stance, although CSPI does support improvements to the US’s lax regulatory system.
