Well, no one asked the citizens of the US; we just get it because it is there and no one has to tell us what is a frankenfood and what is not(lucky us)...it is banned throughout Europe because they do not know anymore than we do and they were not convinced it is safe...If I know a food is biogenetically altered I do not buy it...
