I haven't read the article--accidentally deleted the link, sorry--
but about gene-modified food for human consumption, we're ALL
underinformed, no?  On both sides?

Nobody on either side of this debate honestly knows for certain (as
opposed to believing or suspecting or having reason to think) what it
will or won't do to us over the long haul.  For those on either side of
the argument to contend that those on the other side are just ignorant
and paranoid, or just reckless and uncaring, stands to cloud the issue
beyond any sensible resolution.  And that's going to do some harm to
somebody somewhere, no matter who's right; possibly lethal harm.

So I would like to presume to challenge those on both sides of this who
care about it to try to talk about it without caricaturing anybody else's
position or overstating h/is own.   It could only help.

Meanwhile, a blatant topic save:  :)

Gonna warm up this year's cranberry sauce with orange zest,  chiles and
maybe a little green onion and ginger.  Anybody got
other ideas for additions?

Keep on rockin',
Rain
