Is safety really the issue?
Why is there a reason to pretest GE foods if they are safe? That would be making the assumption there is the possibility of a safety issue and I don't want to be eating the stuff for 10 years before they find out it's dangerous. Anyway, as I see it, safety (meaning it won't kill me immediately) isn't the main issue. the issue is the long term effects on my health.
I don't care about the AMA's supposed "lack of evidence". Too many foods and DRUGS get into the market that have been tested as safe and then turn out to be lethal. Let's make judgements based on evidence (not lack of evidence), and so far, not enough corroborative evidence has been gathered to assure the public that GE food is safe.
Many thousands of people have spoken and want to know what they are eating. The AMA does not have the right to take that away from us. I do not need the AMA to educate me on nutrition, I've done a very good job of that already. If the AMA wants to be the nutrition expert, THEY had better educate themselves first.
