<Which ones have used poor science?>

Well, since the FDA doesn't really test food nearly as rigourously as with drugs, it's hard to say what is safe and what isn't... and that's true with food additives as well. So the REAL science behind all processed food is really studying the US population over time.

A specific example of 'troubling' products that should be rigorously tested IMHO is BT crops. Seems obvious, but not to some apparently. Further: ANY DNA alteration that doesn't occur naturally includes ramifications we don't understand... unforseen changes can and ARE lurking in the background and may emerge now or in the future.

Understanding the mechanisms of gene expression alone is poorly understood....let alone the rest... as the "Intelligent Design" evolutionists will tell you.

Further, one might even want to back up FURTHER and look at the ethics of patenting natural recurring genes as a backdrop to this issue.

Do you think a patent should be awarded covering DNA god created (naturally occuring)?

<The ones who worked on the corn environmentalists told Zambia to reject?>

Don't know that story... fill me in.

Other topic:

<I'd say both were intelligent design in action.>

the common usage of that term is a version of evolutionary theory... ie. yes they are example of evolution. Is that what you mean?
