drwtsn32: "People afraid of this are possibly from the same group that fears GM crops."
I was just talking to someone about that today. I write for a newspaper in a big agricultural area, and I was interviewing someone for a story I'm working on. He knows his stuff, and figures that GM crops are better for the environment: with some, only one type of herbicide or insecticide has to be used on the crops, rather than several. Which means, if we're not eating organic food — and who can afford that? — we're ingesting far less crap in the long run. I never thought of it that way before, but I thought his point of view was interesting.
