Traditional biotechnology have been done
(fermentation, conventional breeding, etc.) for a long time; but
modern biotechnology or genetic engineering is a very recent
development, and the first commercial products were released only
in the early 1990s. If we look at our experience at DDT and other
toxic chemicals (produced by the more or less same firms now
engaged in GE), it took some 20-30 years to determine they were
bio accumulating through the food chain and causing cancers and
around 50 years to determine that they were mimicking some human
hormones and disrupting our endocrine systems.

     Whoever argues that GE is no different from conventional
     breeding is probably laying the groundwork for the concept of
     "substantial equivalence", that the products of genetic
     engineering are as safe as the products of conventional breeding.
     This dubious concept is often used as excuse to avoid thorough
     and rigorous testing.

Actually Genetic Engg. is a new, experimental, very dangerous, AND
radical technology. The process causes unnatural mutation and
 combination of the DNA in our food in a manner which excludes
nature out of the process. This means we and our children are now
eating lab-created, mutated and experimental "fake" food. They
are experimenting, not only with us and with our children, but
with the entire food chain.
