Review of the percentage of students receiving free and reduced-cost school lunches is an authentic indicator of a community's welfare. Employment is often a primary argument of industry and legislators in support of GMO agricultural practices. When reviewed in a context that takes into account the long-term environmental and community health impact of pesticide burdened GMO agriculture, and actual employment figures; it becomes evident that the promise is but "Fool's Gold".
