Default Re: genetically modified bananas are here

Is everyone against genetic modification or the companies producing the products?

It doesn't make sense when you say that GM is bad because of Monsanto.

Humans have been modifying the genetics of organisms for thousands of years. Try to go out in the wild and find a product in the market that is exactly the same. When we breed plants for certain attributes, we end of with many unknown mutations that could have negative results.

With GM, you know what has been changed. With testing, you find wether or not its dangerous.

Nothing in the food market is natural. Everything has been modified by humans. GM is just a new way to do it.
