Here are two lists of (alleged) misconceptions about genetically modified foods from two somewhat biased views. Be sure to read them both.

Once again, another really well done picture. But how legitimate are concerns related to the effect of genetically modified foods on living organisms, safe to eat though these things hopefully are? Will it have a significant impact on the world around us? 

And the big question... whose idea was this?  

This is from an official Dole Website.

Sketchy. 

Sure, it will make little kids want to have bananas and pineapples, but someone who is really against genetic modification could have a field day with this, cute though it may be. 

Anyways, are genetically modified foods detrimental to the environment? There has been plenty of evidence to suggest that they are, and really, it's quite difficult to find out the truth... the corporations will, of course, say that they are not, that everything is under perfect control. Many people will disagree, but many of said people do not actually have any scientific evidence to back their point, though the point that many of them take could be interpreted as being entirely fair- that we should not mess with mother nature. 

But we do mess with Mother Nature. Every day, in fact, in so many circumstances so obvious that they need not be listed (and the list would be bordering on endless). We started messing with Mother Nature the day we developed opposable thumbs and started making tools. (This is called Bioethics. It's extremely interesting, actually).

Here is a link to a genuinely interesting article on genetically modified foods in Africa.
So what should it come to in the end? Who knows? Is anybody really in the right here?
