Where did this idea of GMO being harmful come from? Some of the environmental concerns seem to be legitimate, but I've never seen or heard a credible source claim they were harmful to human health.
As a side note, I've always been a bit of a technophile, so eating genetically modified food seems really cool, and I can't wait until they perfect lab-grown meat.

Apparently he only reads scientifically valid media, and not tinfoilhat publications. (But unfortunately it is true, at least here in Europe, that even respectable media easily echoes totally unscientific falce claims about GMOs occasionally.)
