so by your definition peanuts are not safe and should be taken off
the
market as we have never had any period of safe use for the population
as
a whole.

No - peanuts are known to be unsafe for a proportion of the population
who are allergic to them.

Unfortunately the safety/lack of safety of GM crops/GM foods is not
known, because they have never been through any safety testing...

yes but there is no population testing to see if you are the allergic
one. Peanuts are far to dangerous

whatever happened to the precautionary principle?
