It's not like they're coming up with new GMOs every day. Not to mention that this is a biological matter and DNA is consistent across species.

Hmmm, I'm not totally convinced yet, the French study was accepted by a peer reviewed magazine in Europe, though it appears political in nature (Sadly you could argue that specific branches of the science department have become politicized themselves) so in short...I think we need more scientific enquiries.

I don't trust environmental socialist ideologues with utopia agendas, but I sure as hell don't trust the power of big capitalist corporations either, and Monsanto doesn't exactly have an angelic history.
So call me a technocrat, but I'll just sit this one out until science proves or disproves the safety of GMO's, until then I'll be crossing my fingers when I munch down on a Kit Kat bar, cheers.
