Biotech Scientists Win in IQ2 Debate on GMOs

Intelligence Squared (iq²) Debates hosted a livestreamed debate on Fora.tv about genetically modified food. World Food Prize 2013 laureate Robert Fraley and University of California, Davis scientist Alison Van Eenennaam argued that planting of GM foods should be allowed. On the other hand, Margaret Mellon, formerly of the Union of Concerned Scientists, and Charles Benbrook of Washington State University argued the negative. The argument of the biotech scientists won by huge margin shift in the audience, which changed from 32% to 60% in favor of GM foods.
