Do you use any medicines invented in the past 30 years? I'll wager GM foods are a hell of a lot safer than most of the pharmaceuticals that pass FDA review. Personally, I think drawing the line at genetic manipulation is arbitrary and not really backed up by science. Given a few years, there are plenty of everyday foods that you can breed into something poisonous. In a sense, all food is "beta food" since the precise combination of genes that made up that plant may not have been tested before. ( I guess clones like bananas are safe. )
