Frankly though, I don't care very much. I avoid organic food since it's unsustainable for the environment and selfish in that respect, but other then that, I can't really be bothered buying food selectively
Except for the 320M North Americans who've been eating it for 20 years, yeah, the long term effects are totaly untested. The main problem with GM crops is peoples stupidity and fear, and lack of understanding of the science involved, imo.
