Does anyone recall when food companies first came out with partially hydrogenated oils/fats and how long it took us to realize that they aren't good for us?  Call me paranoid, if you will, but I just don't trust man messing around with plant and animal genetics the way the "genetic engineers" do.  Time will tell for sure, one way or the other.  In the meantime we are Guinea pigs.  Perhaps some of you will say that my message is out of context, but I believe that we are justified or even obligated to inform our customers of what is going on behind our backs with respect to our food; the stuff we put in our mouths, in an attempt to help us and the rest of our species to survive.
