To my knowledge they only test people with protein that they expect

And do they look for unintended effects from mutations and cross
pollinating?

Possibly not as thoroughly as they ought. But those are not being
applied
to such a wide sector of people as RR & Bt stuff, which goes to nearly
everyone in North America.

Mutations and cross pollinations go on constantly every minute in
every corn field in the world.

So? Natural populations have millions of generations of experience doing
this and figured out how to maintain their genetic integrity and minimize
unpleasant surprises long before human beings came into existence.

anthropomorphic rubbish. Did they hold committee meetings while they did
this figuring out, or just hold a township meeting?

Given the fact that the result is so sophisticated that all of
modern science has been unable to figure very much of it out, the
process evidently has more intelligence than any human committee.
Do you deny that DNA repair enzymes, RNA editing, methylation,
gene silencing, gene conversion, reverse transcription, etc were
established before humans came along?
