What I don't like is the casual attitude that's being taken towards genetic modification. Things like growing bigger, healtier, and more disease resistant crops from genetic modification is simply too easy to do. Catastrophic accidents could happen which would decimate our food supply. Even breeding cattle is sketchy, because it makes them more suceptable to disease through the commonality of their genes. They should apply the same regulations to altering foods as they to do altering human genes.
finally... someone on this board that makes sense.
