Isn't pretty much all food genetically modified? Haven't farmers been
crossbreeding since the beginning of farming?

Yes. But do you expect the greenies to comprehend that? Besides,
anything man does has to be evil, by definition.

this is a really heated topic and i'm not going to try to expound my
ideas on organic vs. inorganic food to this ng, but i want to remark
that when i lived in france, the olde tyme (!) fruit stand owner in the
neighborhood in which i lived (5eme) would have tirades whenever
american agricultural practices were brought up. now, i don't really
know the inner-workings of french agriculture, but the stand owner
didn't understand why americans didn't look at things in a preventive
way. for example, there hasn't been enough research to support the fact
that gmos are safe, but since the foods produced by gmo science haven't
inflicted much harm in anyone yet, the assumption is that the foods are
okay.

i suppose i really liked the way the french thought of their food. i
know gmos have been around since about the 1950s, but these days
they've reduced species of corn (once over 100 different varieties) in
the united states into something like under 50.

ugly looking vegetables (not talking about ROTTING veggies) taste way
better anyway. give me a disfigured heirloom tomato over any of those
water anomalies at supermarket X anyday.

go ahead and flame me for being a tree-hugger or whatever they call
californians. because i am.

You make some great points. Americans would be well advised to approach
food the same way the French do. There is a real passion there for the
best and freshest foods which translates directly to better nutrition
and less obesity and chronic disease.

thanks! i find that when i eat fresher foods (which tend to taste
better), i eat less of it because every bite packs the right amount of
flavor i'm looking for in my food. what's the point of wasting calories
on a ton of disgusting junk?

gah! jc's a troll, is s/he not?

Google will post the original text if you hit 'show options' at the top of
the page and then hit 'reply'.
Using the 'reply' button at the bottom of the post results in only your
message being posted. It's just one of those annoying features in the new
and improved Googleg
