Again, those who do, should be able to be given the choice to decide if it is an issue to them or not.

I eat very well, and everything I eat - and you eat - is already genetically modified, and has been for centuries. You or I cannot name one non-genetically modified foodstuff in our diets. I certainly cannot think of one.

Of course I care about the nutritional quality of what I eat, but the public panic over genetic modification stems more from public ignorance of genetics, than any actual factual concerns, in my observation.

The fear is over the words "genetically modified" - not over any factual thing that genetic modification has done. It's a scary term that Americans, who are bereft of any basic genetic class in high school, simply don't understand.
