So I read this little article about creating so called "Frankenfood", or bioengineered produce, and it really jolted my mind.

In this high-tech world, we generally tend to gravitate towards "all-natural" foods. In fact, in the midst of this eco-awareness, there's actually been a significant rise in organically grown products. Naturally, people tend to avoid genetically modified foods because of the fear of toxins and possible carcinogens, but are they *really* that bad?

This so called "Frankenfood" is genetically modified, yes, but with a higher purpose in mind. Take, for example, Golden Rice. In an attempt to gradually erradicate world hunger, engineers invented Golden Rice - a Vitamin A rich form of rice. The idea behind Golden Rice is noble, indeed, but engineers have taken it so much further. We now have enriched tomatoes which help cleanse the soil that they are grown from. These tomatoes are rich and more flavorful, and, in a sense, more eco-friendly. But label them "Genetically Modified" and nobody is going to buy them (and very few people did!).

So, I was just curious. What is your take on this?
