  Genetically engineered foods are not necessarily more dangerous. In fact, they can be less dangerous. For instance, they could genetically engineer grape vines to produce grapes with 100 times more resvaratrol virtually eliminating cardiovascular disease for all those who drink a single glass of grape juice a week. This prejudice against genetically engineered food is nonsensical. It's not genetic engineering that's bad, but what you do with it that is.

I'm currently reading Seeds of Destruction by William F. Engdahl.  It's very good.  Talks about Monsanto and GMO and how the EU was against it and most Europeans but eventually Monsanto and the US won out and got their way and GMO is not only in most of the US food supply but has now infiltrated Europes food supply.  I could give a shit about GMO but as a consumer I want to know EXACTLY which products I'm buying are GMO or have GMO foodstuffs in them.  Why do these companies and the US government refuse to label products GMO.  Because they know people won't buy them no matter what.
