GMOs at the pump?

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), also known as “Frankenfoods” in Europe, are nothing I want in my dinner. In our family, we make efforts to eat organic fresh vegetables, try to shop locally whenever possible, and read the labels of our canned goods. Typically, GMOs are grown for specific resistance to pesticides and an increased yield at the stalk. And while I wonder whether Mother Nature, left to her own devices, would have created these super foods through natural selection and not human intervention, the potential to utilize GMOs for non-food crop production becomes an intriguing question. Would delivering a plentiful, economical non-food crop source for biofuel, clothing material, or vaccine production ease the pressure on current commodity and pharmaceutical prices, and can instances of cross-contamination with food-source crops be eliminated? The US rules regarding GMO use and labeling are already relatively unrestricted, which is my cause for concern at the table. At the pump, I imagine, it might be a cause for celebration.
