Thread Name: BS: Are Bio-genetic foods safe?
Subject: RE: BS: Are Bio-genetic foods safe?
Just wonder how far a given foodstuff has to be modified to be part of the controversy? The ear of corn I ate last night was nowhere near what this foodstuff looked like years ago, likewise for the other items on the menu.
Seems like anything we can grow or buy today is a far cry from its earlier versions. Modifications have been going on for years, so I wonder why the current round of modifications evoke so much worry today.
Whats the difference?
