Is it actually the case that the producers of the genetically engineered produce managed to get legislation passed that does not only not require them to label their produce as genetically engineered, but prohibits their non-engineering competitors from labeling them with that information? I think I read that. The only place I can find tomatoes that taste like tomatoes now is at the organic food store. They're very expensive, and don't always look perfect, but so good you can sprinkle salt on them and eat them like an apple. In the summer, you can sometimes find decent tomatoes at the farm stands.

That's ok Edwarda, chickens don't taste like they did when I was growing up. What I meant was that in deleting that gene by breeding they may lose the taste gene. May lose the prostrate protection of the love apple. Selective breeding is random and the new genetics are specific. Less side effects.
