15. GMO debate has evolved to a Geo-political level...

...at this point. I'd expect a so called agricultural test ban treaty now that it has evolved to a geo-political level. Would be practical for those who feel strongly about it to pay attention to what is happening with Russia's agricultural ban. Non-GMO BRICS nations (who compete with western GMO industry) are aligning with them. As well, economic infrastructure that we see evolving with these nations as they move from the dollar and establish independent international finance clearing models would be indicative of the phenomenon.

Not that I agree with what is happening there in Hawaii. I don't. But best to pay attention to the debate on the geo-political front at the moment. Think of it as a developing, broader solution.
