I don’t know about everyone else, but I personally don’t trust genetically modified foods.

I agree; I don’t trust them either; I mean, me I won’t buy GM foods.

In fact there are a lot of governments that won’t even let these foods come into their countries.

That’s a strong reaction in my opinion don’t you think?

I mean look at BT corn; it takes away the need for pesticides.

Isn’t that a good thing?

Its so unnatural and it would never happen in nature; what? a genes suddenly in a corn plant and it poisons insects? Come on, it’s really strange.

Yeah; and besides, big businesses behind all of these products.

I mean, they just want to make a lot of money off of all of this.

Exactly.

actually I don’t disagree with you on that point; I mean, food is a big business and of course the food companies try to make their money on it, right?

overall I agree with Keanu; I can’t understand why people have such big fears about GM foods?

if we can produce healthier foods, why not do it?

okay maybe we should just agree to disagree on this one.

Sure!

no problem!

Fine, agreed!
