The real irony is that almost every food we eat (ocean-caught fish are the major exception) is genetically modified. Virtually every domestic crop is the result of hundreds to thousands of years of selective breeding, including corn and wheat. The same applies to cows, pigs, and chickens, no to mention cats and dogs.

I do have doubts about adding pesticides to plants. They may be safe for humans, but that needs to be verified, not assumed. But directly adding genes for nutrients, instead of laboriously crossing and recrossing the plants, generation after generation, doesn't sound like it would create a problem.

You eat cats and dogs?
