| Message | How long do you wish to conduct research? When will the research end? People who want nothing to do with this stuff will simply NOT BUY IT! Seeing genetically modified food can be very safe those who do buy it may actually be buying it at cheaper price, so as to help the poor, and others at higher prices for genetically modified food that carries more nutrients, proteins, vitamins, etc. |
