Stossel fails to ask the only pertinent question - WHY is the food being genetically modified?
Answer - Most grain crops are being modified to resist being killed off by glyphosphate (Round Up), so they can spray the ever loving snot out of the fields to kill off the weeds.
Residues from that are damaging to the intestinal lining, and might cause cancer. But not to worry, EPA scientists assure us that the although 59% of crops tested are positive for residue, the levels are harmless. Maybe even as harmless as the COVID vaccines. The Government would never lie to you, would they?

Hmm. Why do they want to kill off the weeds? Perhaps to increase the crop yield per acre? To feed more people? To increase efficiency of the farm/field? This is a good thing. More food from the same crop means less hunger and more people being fed at lower prices.
