As a nurseryman with a stake in East Africa, I find the discussion
fascinating. Here GMO is being used to slightly modify a cosmetic flaw in
an apple for marketing purposes; where I work with in Uganda, it is being
used to give resistance to plantain bananas to a devistating disease that

Thank you, Kevin, for your comments on how GMOs are needed in many countries to
ensure a reliable food supply. At our national plant pathology meetings last
summer, we heard a keynote speaker, a female scientist from South Africa,
address that same issue. In fact, she pointed out that
I like your comment David, and I agree. I don't want to carry water for them
anyway. All of these companies pay big money for the best lawyers and
lobbyists. They need to help defending their actions. I take the position when

I think the easy solution at markets might be a variation of your last
paragraph. Nice signage stating all of our apples are non-GMO. It
could even turn out to be a plus in terms of direct marketing. Perhaps a
good non-gmo sign will make the sale before I have to explain why I
can't
That's the thing, it seems to me, roughly the same arguments of
implicit fear used against GMO apples are also used against
conventional apple growers by organic marketing.
I completely understand the frustration resulting from the short term
focus of club releases, but it seems to me that is

I can appreciate your frustration, David, and your “easy answer” gave me a good
chuckle. I certainly would NOT attempt to relay the concepts in my last post
to the average consumer while attempting to sell them apples. What would be
the point? Most consumers arrive with very pre-concieved
We have returned from attendance at our event and mercifully Arctic apples did

The Arctic Apple is supposed to be like no other apple in that they have
turned off a gene so that it does not turn brown like all other apples.
That statement is misleading since there are apple varieties/cultivars
