Ah, but GMO's ARE bad for you. Nature will selectively modify organisms over time... basically the fittest survive. For man to alter the genetic makeup of a cell by introducing foreign genes (from animals into plants for instance) is sheer folly, frought with all sorts of potential catastrophies not only for the flora involved (and others nearby), but also by the humans that end up ingesting these frankenfoods. Allergic reactions are just one of the potential side effects. We cannot adopt to changes quickly, it can take centuries. GMO foods have the potential of wiping out all living things and should be banned immediatly. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Jones To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 10:09 AM Subject: Re: CS>Take a stand now and reject Mon San To's GMO drive
The point is not so much, are GMOs bad for you, it's consumers have a right to know which foods are GMO. Do you don't disagree with that?

In my mind genetically modified means that there has been an organized hybridization effort as opposed to the natural course of evolution which does the same thing, but by accident rather than by design.
