I don't trust science at the current state to understand the long term impact of GMO. Besides, I prefer to eating natural ingredients regardless if science finds no problems with GMO in the future as well.

>Besides, I prefer to eating natural ingredients regardless if science finds no problems with GMO in the future as we This statement is absurdly irrational. I'm surprised to see this sentiment on here.

  Wanted to comment that I downvoted not because of your first sentence, but because of the second. Hackers have not proven themselves more rational than society at large and I wish we would stop arrogantly thinking of ourselves that way.

    Yeah, I was a little hesitant about that second part also. It was more for effect; I fully realize we're definitely not an insular bunch who can be expected to be rational in all parts of our lives in comparison to the irrational unwashed masses.

What do you deem natural though because if you mean naturally occurring in the wild then thats probably just about nothing that you eat.

Where does the line of natural get drawn? Genetic modifications have been part of agriculture from the very beginning. The food we grow today didn't even exist before humans adopted agricultural practices.
