What I don't like about the genetic modification is that they are doing it in such a way that a person can end up eating one of the Frankenfoods without being told or warned ahead of time. They also do not know what the ultimate consequences of tinkering with genetic codes will be.

GM industry puts human gene into rice
By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor
24 April 2005

The move, which is causing disgust and revulsion among critics, is bound to strengthen accusations that GM technology is creating "Frankenstein foods" and drive the controversy surrounding it to new heights.

Thanks for that link.

They should tell the consumer whether or not a food is genetically modified, even if it's not Frankenfood. A person should have the right to make their own choices.
