Cristina, Good point about flavour. Although you could attribute some the bland taste of supermarket ‘fresh’ vegetables down to months of cold storage! Quite right too that the long term effects of GM produce are a bit of an unknown, but does that mean we should shy away from them? The upside of GM could be a huge benefit to the world, also remember in the past we have brought ‘unknown’ quantities into the food chain before, tomatoes and potatoes for example. People were extremely wary of potatoes when they were introduced…hard to believe now. For now we all have options and going for flavour will always be my choice too…but what if those options should run out?

For me it’s so easy to keep up with the organic lifestyle as I have all my food delivered once a week so no air of superiority when scouring the local markets.

I’d rather not knowingly consume GMO produce as I don’t know what the long term effects on the human body are. I leave that to those braver than me. In principle it’s a great idea if it means that it can help solve famine, however when wheat plants were 5 feet tall I didn’t suffer from a gluten intolerance. Now I do. So whenever possible I stick with old school produce. 🙂
