>The very limited upside of ag companies (or startups like Soylent for that mattter) messing with food and then immediately marketing it as safe and consumable, is irresponsible. GMOs are regulated by the EPA, USDA, and FDA. Traditionally bred varieties are regulated by NO ONE. Traditionally bred varieties routinely poison people. From potatoes (solanin) to celery (psoralens) they produce toxic and potentially deadly chemicals that nobody checks for. Your perfect "heritage" (do you mean heirloom?) varieties have poisoned more people this year than GMO crops have in their entire history. Get off your naturalistic fallacy high horse.
