> Come back to me after 30-50 years of research for that type of GM product.
The roundup ready trait has been available to consumers for 18 years[1] now. Do you mean we need 30-50 more years of research, 48-68 total, or do you mean we only need 12-32 more years of research? (We'll ignore any research done before releasing the product to the public)
Also, while I understand your point, it seems funny to still call something that has been around for eighteen years, and already released a version 2.0, a beta product. Imagine if we treated software lifecycles like that.
