You get no argument from me on those concerns. In fact I am livid with
the likes of Monsanto for jeapardising a potentially very valuable
technology with initial products that generally have no benefit for the
consumer. I mourn the loss of Flavr Savr tomato paste as a crossfire
casualty.


I consumed quite a quantity of GM tomato puree, when it was available, and
haven't changed into a merman yet :-)
