Y'all are not getting how UNrevolutionary this is.

Ideally, I think the government should ban all genetically modified food and species

Great idea. So we get no beef, lamb, chicken, corn, wheat, rice, oats, soy, beans, vegetables or any seedless fruits.
Genetic modifications have occured since man first decided to take an active role in obtaining food. Do you realize the wheat you eat today are EXACT clones of wheat developed by the Romans? They found seeds from those times and in many instances they shared 99.99% DNA with the ancient seeds to modern (the differences being natual oddities). Do you realize they have used genetic modification to produce the hundreds of varieties of cattle through the ages since pre-history? Oh but the sky is falling!
By declaring you outlaw everything is rediculous. I dont know about you, but I enjoy seedless watermelons. If I were a farmer (many of my family are) I'd enjoy self-pestiside producing, larger, and faster growing food. As a consumer I like larger and cheaper products.
