Passing Judgment on Genetically Modified Foods

David Katz, M.D.: Passing Judgment on Genetically Modified Foods: "I appreciate that the term 'genetically modified'-- as in genetically modified organisms (GMO) or genetically modified food (GMF) -- conjures images of Frankenstein's monster (or at least, Frankenstein's monster's lunch), and makes people freak out. I know it makes people freak out, because I hear from them about it routinely -- some to ask my opinion, others to offer theirs.

Let's put the issue on trial before we reach a verdict. In a variation on the theme of evidentiary justice, I offer the defense perspective first and then the prosecution."
