So long as it is for profit companies taking the lead on genetic modifications, they will take paths that earn them money.

For the most part, that means their research is focused on being able to produce food cheaply. Hence we get crops modified to be resistant to roundup, so that stuff can just be dumped over a whole field.

That doesn't make genetic modification a bad thing, far from it. It just needs to be in the right hands. (IE not Monsanto) in order to produce less poison drenched stuff, and more in the way of things like the anti-malnutrition crop known as Golden Rice.

As to corn ethanol being harmful to the environment, no duh. It has always been a money grubbing scheme. A bunch of parasitic lobbyists keep that program alive to the detriment of everyone involved, in spite of having long ago been proven harmful.

It's a sin the way we worship the almighty dollar, even to our detriment and the detriment of future generations. It's almost like we are bent on suicide.

True, if it can still be called "Food" after their modifications. The main problem with GMO foods is the long term effects aren't known. For example a study of someone eating non-GMO corn vs someone eating 'enhanced' corn over the period of let's say 5-10 years.

Hunter,

I agree with you here. We make 'modifications' to the genetics of things and then we unleash it. Now granted, we study first and we test, and we think we know what the effects will be. Heck, we're pretty sure we know. But we don't really know because 30 years down the road all this genetically modified stuff we're eating could have some significant impacts on us.
