RE: Genetically modified food can save lives and golden rice is a perfect example

I think the more highly contested GMO's are ones that use genes to produce non-native pesticides. Genes that produce antioxidants which have already been ingested by humans for thousands of years are a pretty safe bet (even though as you mentioned, we know there are no 100% safe bets especially with new sciences). I agree that people need to be taught to differentiate, so their fear or doubt can be looked at more specifically. Clarity of concern is our best way forward! Thank you for a great article :)

Better differentiation can definitely improve debate on this issue. Good insight.
