What articles would you suggest to friends about GMO? Here are three links that I like to share.

I just visited a language school and met some people I hadn't seen in 8 years.  We were catching up and we realized that we had some articles to share with each other.

a)  Psychology Today (what is your favorite article?)
b)  GMO foods

So, if you want to hit a few articles and spread around some information and have a little "net impact," go ahead and click on these articles and paste them in your "status" bar to spread awareness of these articles.   hit the links in the articles and click the Twitter and Facebook links, too.
