Stop and think a sec Mike and Andy
...Food and Drug is under enormous public pressure.
To get a GM food passed for general use, the testing is VERY extensive,
subject to scientific and public scrutiny and the hard eyes of industry liability lawyers.
The testing starts in vitro..then goes through animal testing..rats through monkeys...
Then to slowly increasing numbers of people. It takes years and a whole lot of money.
By the time a product gets to the public, it has been tested as extensively as they know how.
Go look up the testing protocol before you say " continents at a time" .
