Thread Name: BS: Are Bio-genetic foods safe?
Subject: RE: BS: Are Bio-genetic foods safe?
I think people, particularly those out to make billions of dollars, don't research enough before they leap into changing the environment. Chain reactions can have severe results.

As someone with allergies to common foods such as wheat, dairy, soy and potatoes, the idea of genetically altered food worries me. Considering that I already have to shop mainly in high-priced "health food" stores and skip 95% of the regular grocery store fare, I foresee that my food choices are going to be restricted even more. This may seem an illogical conclusion to draw, but really, all we "allergic" people need is to develop allergies to some food that becomes the main sustenance crop, and there will be nothing left to eat. The population's food choices are already too restricted.
