There is probably no one living in America today that hasn't grown up on GM food stuffs. Science have been GMing for a couple 100 years in one way or the other.
The first genetically engineered organism was in 1973. The GMO didn't hit our foodstuffs until 1992: Calgene's Favr Savr tomato.
"The most common GMO in food on the market today is genetically modified soy, with 75-80% of American soy crops grown from genetically modified seeds (11); Roundup Ready Soybeans engineered by the Monsanto corporation are the most common variety. These soybeans are genetically modified to withstand the effects of Roundup herbicide; weeds and other undesirable plants are eradicated while the Roundup Ready Soybeans are unaffected. "
Sounds like Bhopal and Union Carbide all over again except on an insidious time line. Hear hear to the soylent green crowd. It is food after all? Or do we really care about what we eat after all?
