    Thank you. And I agree that instead of worrying overmuch about cross pollination between genetically modified and all natural plants, we should be worrying about the chemicals – insecticides, plant food and even the salt we put outside in winter.

      It is interesting that genetic modification can make plants resistant to insects so you would use less/no insecticides so blanket calling everything “franken foods” and causing alarm is really detrimental. Glad you liked the post!
