I haven't seen any documentaries on it. What was the show like?
If it helps any, the corn you can buy in the produce section at the store, or frozen kernel corn, is not likely to be GM corn. Last time I checked, the only GM food you were likely to find in the fresh produce was papaya--though I admit this might have changed since the last time I researched this stuff. The GM food crops end up in processed foods, pretty much.
Chances are good that the GM foods are much safer than alarmists believe. I don't worry about the genetic modifications in what I ate tonight so much as the fact that there's too much obviously nonnutritive junk in it. But having said that, I'm with you when it comes to the FDA, an agency that's pretty much owned by the corporations at this point.
