I’d eat them sure. I have no problem with GE foods, especially when they are just enhancing a feature already found in the food naturally, especially since most genes are very similar across species. If they start adding really foreign genes with a high chance of unknown results/new chemicals/potentially dangerous reactions, then I want to wait until someone else eats it first

[...] I’ve entered a previous entry on genetically engineered tomatoes to Mendel’s Garden, a blogging carnival about everything genetics-related, hosted this time Evolgen. There’s one other food entry I’ve spotted: DNA Talk marvels on the medicinal benefits of coffee, pretty much what I have enumerated in a previous entry. [...]

I’m a vegetarian and have studied alternative medicine (that’s not the same thing as saying I believe in it). Would I eat these? Well… I would not be an early adopter, but if a year or so went by and there were no problems, yeah, I’d probably rather have them than not.

[...] And even Eating Fabulous got on the “good news in research” bandwagon with information on a genetically engineered tomato that could help reduce your risk of contracting heart disease. [...]

I’m not sure there’d be “bugs”, but it will take a looooong time (maybe never) before we can be absolutely, totally, 100% sure of the safety of any GMO food.

Quite ironically, time and again, a lot of foodstuff have been proven to be unhealthy, even harmful, and yet people can’t resist them.

Would I consider adding flTom to my salad? I suppose I would, if they can convince me that they are safe for human consumption. I think genetic engineering has a great potential, but we are in the very early stages, so I would expect “bugs” in a product like this.
