Do you want genetically engineered ingredients in your beer?
Most companies have apparantly responded to consumer concerns on this issue... with a notable exception...

If it allows me to drink more, then why not Seriously I am against GM anything, especially beer  if we went back to food we had 20 years ago gen "Y" would be shocked to see it actually has taste, and visibly goes off when it's past it's use by date

GM food? Personally couldn't care less. I think that GM food is a long way down the list of why Fosters tastes terrible. |

Fosters is like drinking  and makes me wanna  But seriously hasn't most things in this world been genetically modified to some extent? I mean even heirloom vege's have a certain amount of genetic modification in them. We all do it, after all selective breeding is a form or genetic modification is it not? It just takes longer to do. What is the difference between genetically modifying something in a lab and doing it in the field or vege garden. Don't the seed savers amongst us save the seeds of the most productive, best looking or most disease resistant plants just because the traits are "desirable"? Anyway thats my 2c bout the whole GM debate. |

Selecting within a species for desirable traits I have no issue with, all of the genetic variation is there within the species and has been for eons. Taking DNA strands from a completely different species and introducing them to create desirable traits I am more concerned about. The other unknown and possibly undesirable outcomes when the "new species" is introduced into the food chain doesn't sit right with me. Who know what biochemical changes have occured within the "new species" and how those changes will interact with other life forms, like me  .

To me GM is a way of fast tracking what farmers and gardeners have been doin for generations, when crossing one form of a plant with another to get the desirable traits from both parents. In that respect they're making a hybrid. |

Selective breeding... by crossing existing natural genes in the gene pool... is fine... and as you say has been occurring naturally and with human intervention forever... But as per the previous post... genetic modification.... manipulating, physically altering genetic structure... and/or inserting a specific gene into the DNA sequence... Is a totally different matter... and as FishFodder says... may have totally unknown consequences.... Besides... the motivation for doing so ... isn't driven by grandeoise desires for the "betterment" of humankind as a whole.... just a base desire for profit for a very few.... |
