Current generation GM food is crude and risky
Wiscidea,
In current production there really isn't much more to GM foods than Bt and Roundup-ready expressions. We might one day have sufficient understanding of genetics to safety produces the wonderful variations that you imagine. But the current generation of GMO food is crudely engineered, and required manipulation and suppression of science in order to by-pass proper questions of safety.The health risk inherent in current generation GM foods may do for GM what Chernobyl did for nuclear power.

I'd advice anyone reading the author's assurances that GMO foods are safe, to trace back to the original peer reviewed published source for such claims. If you make it back to the source you will find a number of strange things. The strangest of which is an almost complete lack of human trials. The one single human eating safety trial published found that our assumptions about GMO not surviving past the stomach were wrong.
