However, I am not so sure Car...It is a great quote. However, I am not so sure Carson would feel positive about all GE uses. In light of this quote I would imagine she would review things on a case by case basis. If GE was used in a integrated way, to reduce chemical usage and other toxins, and was done carefully (as you argue in your book that it can be done) then I could imagine she could get behind this. But alas that is not the only common use of GE in the world and some uses she would certainly object to as non integrated, and non careful.<BR/><BR/>But yes, I can see how she might not just come out against GE in general as some people have these days. <BR/><BR/><BR/> I think she would be more likely to consider everything on a case by case basis. GE, if done carefully, as you argue in Tomorrow's Table, could certainly reduce the usage of pesticides and other pollutants. And I can imagine she might support this. But other uses of GE, I think she would frown upon.Jonathan Eisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953790938128734305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590966175110441391.post-81615243225686667772008-05-28T16:44:00.000-07:002008-05-28T16:44:00.000-07:00The quote is from Carson's Silent spring p. 278The quote is from Carson's Silent spring p. 278Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590966175110441391.post-88829143906600198792008-05-28T11:26:00.000-07:002008-05-28T11:26:00.000-07:00Where is this quote from?
