Oh, I agree whole-heartedly with Buttermilk. What I meant is that it's not surprising to me that people will eat nonsense fruit when they'll drink Coca-cola and eat twinkies.

The whole GMO thing is downright terrifying. I remember many years ago I saw on TV a program about gene manipulation when it was all new. They showed a picture of a couple of pigs that had their chromosomes spliced with humans. They were unable to stand. They did a close up on their faces. It was like looking into a human soul's eyes. There was high intelligence and the depth of despair and pain in those eyes. It made me sob and the image still haunts me.

We having started down what could easily be a very slippery slope. At the least foolish, at the worst criminal beyond anything ever perpetrated by humankind.
