Because there is no labelling in effect so far, you cant tell if you are
eating GM products or not. I would tend not to eat them myself.

My jurys still out on GM foodstuffs, though I agree that the GM-status of a
product should be clearly indicated.

I think CNN is reporting that cloned animals may soon be available at the
butchers counter. Now why raising hogs in the old fashioned way is less
desirable than cloned pigs I guess I may never know...
These GM and cloned products seem to be solutons for non-existent problems. I
dont think the proscuitto is going to taste any better coming from a cloned
pig.

Maybe not, but it will be exactly as good as the proscuitto you ate before!

I mean, rice and corn -- was there something wrong with these grains before
now? If it aint broke, dont fix it...

True enought, but the grains that we had before now were also genetically
modified (admittedly, through many generations of domesticated cultivation).
Aside from side-effects, which may or may not be shown to exist, I dont know
why we should resist this sort of research. I mean, if swine-corn could somehow
solve the worlds food shortage (which is actually more of a distribution
problem, I suppose), then I say go for it. Is it better to starve to death
within the next six months or to die thirty years later (hypothetically) from
GM-food side effects? I dont know, honestly, but Id probably want to live
longer, given the chance...
Dave!
