I didn't follow the logic in the link in the OP. They idea of spraying gene-altered bacteria onto plants is a new one on me. I had heard of spraying modified RNA, but not whole bacteria.

I don't know if M is just re-writing English to call GMOs "organic", but I've heard they want to stress the idea that RNA sprays (if ever commercially viable) do not genetically change anything, hence are not genetically Modified Organisms.

From there to "organic" is a leap that I can't follow.

However, if M lawyers succeed in re-defining the term"organic", they will have undercut their main opposition's ability to even NAME what they are in favor of.

I'm angrier at M for what they do in court, and for "cornering the market" on commercial seed vending, so that global crop seed diversity is harmed. than I am about what they have done to plant genomes so far.
