I believe that the fish-tomato is no longer on the market. The
scientists were so focused on getting the gene insertion to work that
they failed to pay attention to what tomato they were using. It just
didn't have any flavor, so people didn't buy it. The purpose of the
experiment was to get a tomato with a longer shelf life.

You will not be growing any genetically engineered plants in your garden
unless you sign a contract with Monsanto. They OWN those plants and when
you sign that paper, you agree to NOT save or replant seed from the
original crops under real threat of prosecution.

When the companies that make the GE plants claim that they are out to
feed the world or increase the nutrition in the food, don't believe it.
Third world countries are under real threats - if it is found that they
are growing plants that have the GE splice in them, they will have to
PAY. That's why an African nation not long ago turned down food aid for
it's starving people - the corn was genetically engineered and if it
escaped and contaminated their crops, they would have to pay Monsanto.
Not to mention that when these crops escape cultivation - the genie is
out of the bottle. What if.... one day a crop is discovered to cause
harm to the biology of the soil, cause allergies, cause harm to
wildlife, etc.?

And to top all this off - the people in the United States don't even
know that well over 50% of the products on the market today contain some
genetically engineered ingredients. We are not told. There are no
labeling requirements like there are in other countries.

(OK, stepping down off my soapbox)
