Following the debate on GM foods on sagnet has left me with the =

corn and soy for example are driven by religious/spiritual (as the most =
recent debates herein) or that only "God" can create or alter life theme =
or variation thereof, or some fanatical concerns that the one in 60,000 =

=20
If you anti GM folks want to do a service for mankind, why don't 'you =

which is a "KNOWN" carcinogenic. We don't even have to guess about this =
one. This is a "no brainer."
