Nobody cares if you have an opposing opinion to this thread. That's part of what this site is about.
But trolling and personal attacks are another matter. And that is exactly what you are doing.

This just makes me sick (as a Canadian) the GMO crops seem to be polluting the surrounding crops with it's pollen, and now may have a weird micro virus thing that causes premature births in animals! (there was an ATS thread about it)
I shudder to think that I may be eating a 'tinkered' animal and the unknown effects...as I understand it, activating one gene for one thing and deactivating a gene for another can have repercussions in other biological aspects of the animal. Pretty soon we're going to have an 'ingredients' list in our so called 100% meats (95%Beef, 2% scorpion, 1%pig, 3%broccoli).....but then again, we'll just never know either way...edit on 25-2-2011 by arrus75 because: typo

Mankind wouldbn't be alive today if not for "genetically-modified" food
Go find a glass of milk that doesn't contain growth-hormone
Go pick an apple off a tree that wasn't "selectively-bred"
Go to Burpee's seed catalog n find a strain of cucumber that is pure and "non_adulterated" by mankind

On a serious note, I can see some benefit to splicing creature dna, like the spider-goat milk for producing strong, flexible, biodegradable materials. Or how about livestock that would grow human organs, blood, etc.. for emergency medical usage.
I just don't want to think about a mouse or rat or cockroach when I sit down for pork-chops and applesauce.
