A. Sorry But the truth is food has been genetically altered for 8 - 10 thousands of years. It is call selective breeding. search sugar beets Pss ! beet sugar stinks... try cane beets come from the moldy, decay of the earth -- cane is a grass .. clean and sweet smelling. as for genetically ( dna splicing ) I doubt it is worth it..
