I don't wish to get involved in the rights or wrongs of genetically modified
food but I do believe there is a lot of unnecessary hysteria about it all.
I would be more concerned about food additives than their genetics?
You just have to check out your local supermarket and it would be very
difficulty, if not impossible, not to buy genetically modified fruit and
veggies. Almost ALL crops grown today throughout the world have been
genetically modified.
I don't have any degrees but I worked in the agricultural industry for most
of my working life and all you have to do is look at the seed lists from the
major seed producers. In Australia all our grain crops have been genetically
modified and even our bananas, not to mention most of our citrus fruits.
Don't you just love those seedless watermelons or those BIG giant
strawberries - yummy yummy :-)
