Bioengineered Milk? No Thanks (7 Letters)
Letters to the Editor - L. Val Giddings

To the Editor:
Henry I. Miller’s Op-Ed article provides a welcome breath of fresh air.
Anticorporate activists have campaigned against this and other ag biotech products for years in denial of the demonstrated environmental, economic and health benefits. It is most welcome to see the facts finally given some exposure.
The data speak to a clear reality: If we are to meet the challenges of feeding and clothing a growing population in the 21st century without totally despoiling the planet, we will need all the tools we can find.
Biotech is already making huge contributions toward meeting these challenges, and more to follow. There is in reality no greener approach than biotechnology.
