Aloha,
Two things - one, it's a great new PR approach to promoting GMOs :-p
Two, notice (literally) the bottom line(s in the article) - it's a way
to create new premium-price markets markets markets and sell sell sell
more stuff stuff stuff.
For an already-existing bio-genetic approach to more holistic systemic
food choices than the typical one-size-fits-all approaches of
vegetarians, vegans, raw-fooders, etc., take a look at the
blood-type-based diet/lifestyle guidelines (Peter D'Adamo et. al.)
I've got the most recent book and am using it; so far so good for my
digestion, and here's the web site:
http://dadamo.com/
He is opposed to GMO foods and microwaved foods and favors organic
everything.
