You know, I thing the GMO-foods present a terrible trap.
First off, the companies developing them care more about [ab]using patent-law than in food-production.
Secondly, consider what would happen if they developed a "super grain" (fruit or vegetable) that provided even the bare minimum of all nutrients needed -- and consider the control they could exert if they embedded a "self-destruct gene" (as has been done w/ several GMOs)to force all farmers to have to purchase new seed EVERY PLANTING -- it'd be like crack-dealers giving free samples while employing the "it just works" marketing of Macintosh with the viciousness of Microsoft at its worst: after all everybody needs to eat.
Third, what's wrong with, you know, varying your diet to get all the nutrients needed?

< br />Soylent Green has all the nutrients you need, but you don't see anyone trying to mass-market it. Therefore, your reasoning is flawed. (:
