yes, if it tastes good.
-
Yes, and probably already do without realising it. The only difference is that farmers used to pick the biggest/juiciest/ brightest by hand and seed from them, now it's done by science. The end result's the same.
-
Not if I knew it was GM.
-
I don't want to. The idea of foods with non-food DNA disturbs me. I think there could be a unknown pricetag for it. I am afraid, though, we are already doing so unknowingly. A high percentage of the corn and soybean crops are.
-
Aren't seedless grapes or navel oranges modified? Unless they are using Plutonium or Kryptnite, I don't see the problem.

I would not eat it because there has not been any long term studies done on the health hazards of eating genetically modified foods.Europe bans GMO's as well as Asia,andAustralia.These counties ban GMO's because they see it is harmfull to humans.I used to live in Europe and these people are healthy.GMO's modify and distort the genetic make up of the food.Monsanto is a main maker of these foods.Their profits for them are high but there concern for health,is questionable.What is wrong with eating natural foods from health food stores,and not something that has not yet proven as healthy.
-
YES and since it has only recently become law that they have to tell us that the crop is genetically modified we have probably been eating the stuff for years. If it has tasted ok so far why would it suddenly change and become inedible
-
no, i wouldn't. basically because one day i was trying to inject heroine into my toes, and i got a tomato by accident and it grew to a huge size. then some scientists came and stole my idea and that is the GMO in GM Foods. so if you would like to chat....add me chad_magnet@hotmail.com :)
-
I would rather not, but since they are not labelled and about 60% of the food out there has GM elements in it I would have to say that I probably do whether I want to or not. This is why I think that labeling should be mandatory.
-
I'm pretty sure I already have, whether I know it or not.

You do every day. Most of the foodstuffs we have now-a-days IS genetically modified, either by current scientists and farmers, or past. And where do you limit the modifications? To changing the genes to make the new crops work better and grow faster, or manually cross-breeding of plants to produce it? Well, the cross-breeding has been done for centuries. So...

I've been working very hard to avoid them but they are now in nearly 75% of all products in the grocery stores. Just about all corn and soy are GMO:-( So just about every person living in the USA does eat them whether they want to or not, sadly. Did you know that animals can tell what is GMO or not. They have placed both types of feed and grain in front of them and they will not eat the GMO, sometimes preferring to go hunger a bit before eating it. They can tell the difference. They know it isn't any good:-(
-
Some of it tastes pretty darned good.
-
If it's tasty, I'll eat it :o)
-
It's perfectly fine to feed it to my genetically-modified children.
-
I feel that you know it when you eat it and its just a little off... The reasons why, most people don't ask, because they dont want to know. Until someone gets cancer and then everyone all of a sudden wants to sue.
-
We have been eating it for years and were never told. They are going to give you what they want to and lie about. We have no control at all!!!!!
-
Some may possibly have long term latent detrimental effects. I don't want to test this possibility on myself.

Please people, consider that all food contains genes, since all food is basically cells. What wrong is there in putting the best features of several plants into a single one, making it grow more effeciently, more resistant to fungus etc. Mixing genes happens even when human fetuses is produced from the male and female gametes - is this "unnatural" too? The diversity of nature is based on the generation of genes and the crossing of these from organism to organsism. Why is it suddently wrong and Frankenstein'ish when this process is pinpointed and accerelated by human hand? The body can't be contaminated with so-called non-food genes, these are metabolised leaving only simple sugars and amoniacids to be shuttled through to the blood vessels. There is nothing cancerous, poisinous or morally wrong in easting genetically modified food. No one has ever got so much as a head ache eating gene modified food in the roughly 10 years it has been commercially available.

We probably are already. Everything is being genetically modified. If you eat McDonald's you've had genetically modified meat. It's just the way things are becoming.
