Whether genetically modified (GM) foods are beneficial or harmful is still controversial. Most foods we eat may contain ingredients derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs)--everything from baby formula

GM foods are scary to think about. The process is unnatural - from a lab - and I suspect alters the DNA of the foods treated. I believe we must be careful to use only natural foods and substances to ingest in a healthy body, unless it's a medicine created to help a person live. Even then, I'm a proponent of alternative methods when ill.

Plants and foods from the earth have an intrinsically complex importance to the building blocks that sustain man and animals. To artificially alter the structure of these foods must be carefully tested for many years to determine the affect it would have on man and the planet before even thinking about using it.

However, here we are ingesting these untested lab products with the blessing of our government. This is a red alert for all of us.

Thank you - but live in Europe. Please take note, that Soya and Soya by-products are even in foods you never would have imagined - demand extensive labeling! YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT YOU EAT!!!!

last year bought a huge head of leaf lettuce at local county fair. can you believe it lasted One Month in my frig. without rotting!! i started asking about GMOs in lettuce and came up with nothing. then friend said farmers and veg. distributors can SPRAY on liquid preservatives to increase shelf life. so now suspicious of chemical sprays on fresh vegs and fruit that are absorbed into plants tissue. when i buy organic lettuce it's history in a week.
