The knee-jerk opposition to GM crops fails to take fundamentals into account. I'll use two examples to illustrate:

  1. Strip genetic material from a kale plant and put it in a tomato and get tomatoes who tolerate 28 degree temperatures. Probably a good thing.
  2. Strip generic material from a cockroach and put it in a tomato and get tomatoes which reproduce better. Probably NOT a good thing.

I do NOT want my tomatoes scurrying under the refrigerator when I turn my kitchen light on.
