Well, now, I used to take what I thought was a purely scientific line on these things. It was certainly easy to laugh at those who feared radiating food -- as if those little gamma rays could somehow stay "alive" in the food.

But this one is a little more complicated. Yes, humans have been genetically engineering food crops for eons, but they were limited to the genes within a species. (Never took biology, so don't dun me for incorrect nomenclature.) What happens when you sneak the gene from a worm into the genetic structure of a lima bean? Or a fish gene goes into a corn seed? And then we ingest lots of the resulting plant. I don't feel confident enough to say, "Nothing. Shut up and eat it."
