Do you feel that vegetables produced from geneticaly altered plants contain the same nutritional values as vegetables produced from unaltered plants. Likewise with meat products.

No, as the name suggests, it is genetically modified. It has been through so much chemicals that its hard to tell if you will get essential nutrients out of it at all. Maybe some kind of sickness if exposure will be for a long period of time. Also, many farmers of organic products, like in India, are losing their only source of livelihood to these giant manufacturers of genetically modified foods, hence, it will be a nightmare in the future if all of what we eat are no longer produced naturally, but are made synthetically!!!

No, I don't. New studies out of the US by FDA show that organic oranges, for example, contain up to 90% MORE Vitamin C than commercial grove oranges.
In addition to no antibiotics, oranic and "natural" meats do not contain any animal feed - a potential problem for humans because of Mad Cow Disease.
Keep it simple - keep it as natural as you can!

There is not problem with genetically modified food, as all we do is eat it, digest it, and use whatever nutrients it provides us with. It doesn't get integrated into our genes or something like that. If it helps to make plants grow in areas where people starve otherwise, I am all for it. if it is just made to bring higher profits to countries which are exploding with money already, I am less for it. Healthwise though i am not worried at all.

I would think..that if it was genetically altered..that it might be for the better of the end product. Like bigger tomatoes, sweeter corn, etc.
What I don't like is pesticides, added hormones to livestock diets, and cruelty towards farm animals.

I think that these foods could do away with the entire breast enlargement industry, as they continue to put these growth hormones in our meats our children are getting plumper juicer and more tender as time goes by.

No they are not! Vegetables and fruits were meant to have seeds in them. The only reason they are making varieties that are seedless is to prevent you and me from being able to grow our own food! Thereby making us more controllable.

no i dont. once you start messing with what god put here for us it loses something. i dont believe that meat is as good for us ne more. all the hormones that are added to it after awhile starts affecting people. we'll all mutate.
