You wonder why American kids are growing so damn fast...11 year old girls can share clothes with their moms, 10 yr old boys with mustaches...you see the results.

I work at an all-organic restaurant, so we make it a point not to use genetically altered foods. It's been a great experience because I meet a lot of people who have great arguments against genetically altered food, (based on ethics, the environment, you name it!), but above all, the taste speaks for itself. Organic, genetically un-altered foods are a much higher quality. You really can taste the difference.
"Heirloom" is the word used to describe plants that are not genetically altered. Basically, they are the seeds of plants from the "olden days", before anything was genetically altered. They are what tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, etc are SUPPOSED to naturally taste like. True, they may not be perfectly round, or they might have some spots on them or are not the brightest colors, but their taste speaks for itself. They are a hundred times better!! For me, in the end, this wins the argument against genetic altering.
For those who live in places where genetic altering is allowed, I highly suggest trying the produce labelled "heirloom" in your supermarket. They will be a little pricier, which I think is hilarious, because thanks to genetic altering, we now have to pay more money to eat plants that are in their natural state. But trust me, it's worth the extra pennies.

Boy, that's TOUGH. Mankind has only been genetically modifying plants and animals for oh, 1500 years--probably more.

I don't trust it. It may not be as nutritional as regular food and may have unknown but serious consequences for the environment.
