| Message | No. We worked long and hard to get rid of this dangerous Franken-food. You're allowing crops with unknown consequences. What if we produce corn that makes it own pesiticde, but some of it leaks out from our state farms? Who knows the untold havoc it could cause in nature. To other plant life, to animal life. We've seen what happens when foreign snails, bees, plants, beetles and The Beatles are released in foreign lands. This would be even worse. |

| Message | The AAP has no issue with genetically modified food, sobeit that it is labeled as such, just like in our supermarkets that produce and such are labeled as organic. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
