Here are some genetically engineered food facts from Organic Consumers Association:
SURVEY OF THE WEEK:
CBS NEWS & NEW YORK TIMES POLL CONSUMERS ABOUT GE FOODS
53%: Percentage of polled Americans who say they won't buy food that has ingredients from genetically engineered (GE) plants.
65%: Actual percentage of products on grocery store shelves that contain unlabeled GE ingredients (usually soy or corn derived).
90%: Portion of U.S. grown soybeans that are genetically engineered.
99%: Estimated likelihood that the U.S. sugar supply will start to be sourced from genetically engineered plants this year.
SUSTAINABILITY FACTS OF THE WEEK:
SMALL FARMS ARE MORE PRODUCTIVE AND PROFITABLE
A 1,000 acre U.S. corporate farm growing genetically engineered crops nets an average of $39 an acre. In contrast, a four-acre family farm nets, on average, $1,400 per acre. Small organic farms are proving to be even more profitable. With oil prices on the rise, growing food without petroleum-based pesticides/fertilizers, and delivering that food to local markets will quickly prove to be the most affordable food available.

It is frightening to see how easily people read and believe such misinformation. I wonder how long the school will take to establish the dangers of the new organic snacks? Never, if they rely only on the misinformation of others!
Think for yourself, folks!
I agree - never rely on the misinformation of others. Get the facts... pick up the book Genetic Roulette.
