I think it's reasonable to think we are the most exposed to something when we ingest it.

I'm not saying I think gmos or other artificial food substances are bad. I'm just saying it is possible that they could be and we just don't know yet.

But that's my point. We don't know about any of the things that will turn out to be harmful to us until we do. Unless we have a reason to believe that it is more likely that GMOs will be one of those things, acting like they are is irrational.

I mean, we could find out that Acai berries are carcinogenic in 50 years. Does that mean you should, just in case, avoid acai berries?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
