Maybe it was shortsighted to pump up
our agricultural outputs to where we can feed so many of us. Probably
we should reduce our dependence on commodity-crop monoculture. And
certainly we'll be restructuring the entire food chain over the next
few decades. But look: When a living cell gets its DNA tweaked so it
grows in some new way, that's called mutation. If a mutation enhances
an organism's ability to survive and reproduce, then that mutation is
replicated many times over. Like zebra stripes. Or opposable thumbs.
So stop worrying about Frankenfood. You're a GMO and so am I.
