You don't know who Penn and Teller are?

Above is what I posted to you before.

--------------------------------------------

Digestive acids break food down chemically pretty well ... to sugars and amino acids.>

Oh? Explain to me how a pesticide is broken down into sugar and amino acids?? "please"... I study this stuff, you think the above means anything?


Does the DNA of the food we eat survive the digestive process?

------------------------------------------------
<The cell walls and dna of food we eat are destroyed in the digestive process. >

Give me a break... you don't know what your'e talking about. The above sentance is meaningless in the context of my previous post.


Its not meaningless .... if DNA in our food is going to harm us it has to persist in our bodies somehow.

---------------------------------------------
<Also should we test naturally occurring food too? >

It depends on what you mean by "natural"... much of our food has thousands of years of good data to go from. We have EVOLVED to eat it...


Native Americans didn't evolve to eat rice or wheat or peaches. People from the Old World didn't evolve to eat maize, chocolate, potatoes, tomatoes.

---------------------------------------------

< After all, just cause people have been eating something for thousands of years doesn't mean it can't hurt us.>

It means we know the outcome of eating such food in general.


Not necessarily.
-----------------------------------------

<No. Though I think if there is patenting going on, its of DNA that is not naturally occuring.>

"If"? "You think". Well, I don't.


What naturally occuring DNA has been patented?

-------------------------------------------

I see ... you're going to avoid commenting on Penn Jillette's comments because you don't have the time.
