We do not know what the long term results of eating Frankenfoods will be. Some think the explosion of obesity is due to playing around with foods. Sure, some is due to overeating, but in the 60's we ate Wonder bread, mashed potatoes with butter, fatty pork chops fried in oil, chocolate cake with buttercream icing, whole milk, and hardly anybody was fat.
Exactly. I’m absolutely shocked at most of the comments here. Genetic modification is not cross-pollination by any stretch of the imagination! People should watch the movie “Food, Inc.” on YouTube. Farmers are being sued by Monsanto if they even act like they’re going to re-use or wash seeds from previous years crops. And of course, the farmers don’t have the $$ to fight a big corporation like Monsanto so they use the GM seeds that Monsanto has patented since they don’t have a choice.
Hardly any companies use “real” sugar cane anymore to sweeten their products. They use GM corn to make High Fructose Corn Syrup to sweeten soft drinks, etc. Which is why Pepsi and Coke are at the top of the list. Unbelievable that folks don’t know this or don’t seem to be worried about it.
