It's funny you mention that.

I'm maybe the only person I know who is fully in support of GMO.  So long as there are sufficient controls for testing and so on, the idea that we can grow more nutritious food from dirt and sun is awesome.  I don't care if my desk-sized Vitamelon 3000™ ever existed in nature, so long as I enjoy eating it and it doesn't hurt me.

My biggest challenge will come with simulated meats, I think. Surely there's no ethical reason not to eat those, but I suspect I'll have a residual yuck factor.
