Personally I don’t know what to think of this news about genetic enhanced food in today’s newspaper.

Horrors of all horrors, the very first food is brinjal… I can already see, kids imagining a fat round brinjal with biceps and thighs embarrassing Arnold’s running after them yelling “eat or be eaten, that’s the question” . lol

For some reason, the word genetically enhanced doesn’t resonate with me. I know it’s all about pest/herbicide/disease resistance, more nutrition etc. Of course the debate about global food shortage also comes up with this. But when it comes humans, take a look at the history, whenever human intervened with nature, the result haven’t been that excited.

May be I am just paranoid. I am so much about natural food, health etc. But hey with all the pollution and colored food, it’s already going towards un-natural. Chances are we are already eating enhanced food and we can’t differentiate. But for some reason, I just can’t get this image out of my head.

I have no doubt that this will be pretty much our future. Yet there are many challenges ahead for governments, especially in the areas of safety testing, regulation, international policy and food labeling.

Damn this post became a little depressing… I’ll post something better in evening.
