What exactly bugs liberals about bio-tech grains & veggies? They go off on conservatives for opposing "science!" when the topic is stem-cell research, then turn around and oppose science when the topic becomes bio-tech food.

"Frankenfood."

They're probably pissed that more people will be fed, and thus less people will die. Deathocrats.

I have no idea. It is not as if these foods are exactly untouched by man in the first place.

Cabbage and cauliflower and bok-choy are all descended from the same wild plant.

Wild potatoes are poisonous.

Corn is completely a man-made plant. It doesn't even exist in the wild.

We have been tampering with plants since we first started cultivating them.
