Thing is companies do this genetic modification because they are
desperate for making money. And if they don't do it then someone else
will and then their stockholders will be in an uproar. The real beast
is capitalism.

though, humans are exceptionally creative in finding things for
disliking other people. There are many ways to produce 'new'
organisms. With genetic engineering one can mimic things like cross
breeding, or (and this is where the real potential for danger comes
in) mimic natural mutation, or inserting genes from other species, or
creating entirely synthetic genes. I think a glow in the dark
'spiritual' gene that activates when a person believes a spiritual
philosophy with too great a percentage of gullibility would help
identify people one might want to avoid, as the conversation with such
would tend to be repetitive without progress. Not of much use here though.

Just what you've been waiting for: an apple that doesn't turn brown.
GMO labeling needs to be federally mandated.
