The questions you are asking are exactly the ones I answered by posting scientific articles to you, and I think some to Ish, earlier today. There are questions about whether genetically modified food will turn out to be a good idea, and anyone who is really conservative would not be experimenting with all of our sources of food in this way. Perhaps you could read the articles I posted, because they really did address these questions. GMO food also is just big agribusiness. In every part of the world, the right to save seeds and replant them is being taken away from farmers--the most basic right, the right to grow food. All so companies like Monsanto can profit. And conventional (pesticide) agriculture causes enormous amounts of pollution and wears out the very soil we use to feed ourselves. Small, family farms and sustainable organic agriculture are the way to feed everyone on earth. Of course there would be little profit for agribusiness, so this is not what is happening. Agribusiness may actually destroy the entire planet. And as several articles I posted cited, meat and dairy products are killing us. No one needs to eat them. But if you bothered to read the articles, you would understand why in much more detail.
