I'm not sure what to make of GMO foods to be honest. Safety is a concern, as are concerns about crop patents. My opposition to GMOs was softened somewhat by an incident a few years ago (2012) in the UK. Scientists at Rothamstead Research (an agricultural research institution) wanted to grow genetically modified wheat to deter aphids. http://www.rothamsted.ac.uk/our-science/rothamsted-gm-wheat-trial http://www.rothamsted.ac.uk/our-science/rothamsted-gm-wheat-... I thought the scientists put forward a good case for the research. But a campaign group opposed to the trial planned to destroy the crop. It prompted the scientists to make a public plea to the campaigners to not destroy the crops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9scGtf5E3I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9scGtf5E3I I'd like to hear more from the scientific community on the topic of GMO. In Europe, there is a strong anti-GMO movement which skews the debate against GM crops.
