Virtually every food you eat has been genetically modified several times.

So what the risks from peanuts and potatoes?

Indeed, just what are the risks of consuming genetically modified foods.

Its not a black and white issue, as something which has been selectively bred is different than something created in a lab.

I’d ask the reverse, why is a grain created in a test tube or an animal raised in a cage no bigger than its body and fed hormones any better than the other choices?

By and large the only difference is in the profit margin to the large global company producing it. Ya know the ones that have put family farmers out of business and made it cheaper to grow cucumbers in South America than Florida.
