And yet the products of these stumbling early efforts at creating “improved” genetic variations of your food are already on your store shelves. And you’ve been consuming them for something like 35 years.

While that's true for my son, it's been a bit longer than that for me and longer yet for my husband. Humans have been eating genetically modified foods ever since we invented agriculture. Furthermore, as another poster pointed out, Nature has been genetically modifying organisms for billions of years, long before humans ever got the idea that maybe wheat with ten seeds per stalk is preferable to grow than wheat with four seeds per stalk.

I clicked on the article thinking that it would be another anti-GMO dingbat rant. But in reality, the article is sensible.

There is a massive difference between hybrids produced by pollen, and the deadly frankencrap that results from direct tampering with genes.
