No amount of plant crossing will put a fish gene into a tomato, but gene
spicing can.
People who are proponents of genetic modification claim that they know what
they are doing, but such claims are absurd. No-one knows everything,
especially about living organisms.
Companies don't genetically modify plants to make them taste better, they do
it to make money.
If you want genetically modified products, fine, but don't force them on
those who don't, and don't hide them by refusing to label them as such.
