"Arcata was the first U.S. city to ban the sale of genetically modified foods..."

This is off topic but it shows their ignorance just the same. I wonder if they even know what genetically unmodified really looks like. People have been changing the genetics of food since it was domesticated.

I tried to explain that to someone who wanted fresh, all-natural, organic apples that basically were free of any human contact or cultivation whatsoever.

“Okay. Here’s your crabapple.”

If any of those folks bothered to pick up an actual book, such as Wheat Belly, they would know, for example, that wheat has been periodically genetically modified since it's ancient ancestor, einkorn, was grown thousands of years ago.

Thank Goodness God put some smart people here on earth to make wonderful fruits and vegetable more attractive and edible. We are so fortunate to live at this time. I love carrots, bananas, and absolutely LOVE corn. In fact, I’m getting ready to plant some corn, one month late, here, in central Texas. Actually, I love any food that doesn’t get me first. Yes, hubby holds an armful.
