One Dozen Resources for Thinking Critically About Genetically Engineered Food and Farming

Just saw a beautiful and moving film, "Bitter Seeds,"  about GMO cotton farmers in India through the lens of a young woman whose father committed suicide because of GMO-related debt. With all the buzz about GMO labeling, I thought Food Sleuth blog readers would enjoy having a list of resources to help find "food truth" on the topic.
