Seriously, I was fairly unconcerned about “Genetic Engineering” before reading Against The Grain. However, after reading it, I grew more concerned. In essence, we are running an experiment, with no control groups. (Is there any harm in eating genetically engineered soy products? Tough to say, because natural soy varieties are virtually becoming extinct!)



Then, there’s the matter that as genetically engineered varieties dominate the market, the market comes closer and closer to a monoculture. I mentioned that my grandfather grew multiple experimental hybrids. He also understood that different varieties grew well in different fields, based upon their microclimates. (He understood that bottomland is not the same as hillside.)
