The only way in which this is different is that can yield favorable results in much less time. The issue with me is not so much the safety of the food as the negative effects of gene patenting and the corporate control of various alleles or traits run amok. As it is, giving corporations the right to patent genes is already starting to interfere with medical research. Unless we grant more restrictions to what corporations can and cannot patent or monopolize by revising intellectual property laws, we will soon find ourselves under even more corporate control.

Sheesh. The sad thing is, the GM soy is <em>everywhere</em>, and sometimes even the organic brands contain it. Once labelling wasn't required, nobody had to be careful about what was what.
