The problem with Frankenfoods is not that they will kill you through 
poisoning like strawberries with ebola but they help to perpetuate a 
farming system that is unsustainable. When you resort to genetic 
modification, you are dealing with the symptom rather than the cause. 
Crops become vulnerable to pests because they are raised in a 
monoculture environment. A totally new approach has to be developed.
