Than there is the other story, like adding DNA from a fish into a tomato or something of the like. Or adding the BT Toxin into the DNA of the corn so that when bugs eat it it kills them. I mean, can we honestly sit here and think that will not have any affect on YOU ? You cant compare the two. One is natural, one is not....
Natural??? Sounds like a form of human engineering to me. Natural would be you plant a lemon tree, a lime tree and then on it's own some combined product develops.
I'd support labeling if everything is labeled equally. Sure seems like the natural/organic movement has given the E. coli business a real boost in recent years.
As for the European approach... If it pleases someone so much, why don't they just move there and enjoy the total experience?
Wouldn't the easiest way to determine fault with a particular source (GMO soy) be to replace its use with the alternative (non GMO soy) without any other changes to prove the point?
Oh well, let the non science crew vent and spew, they fully intend to intimidate without reason. Seems to be the way lately.
