Wow. When I decided to do a show on genetically engineered foods, I had no understanding of the bitterness and distrust that exists on both sides of the issue. This is one of those debates in which pretty much everything is contested, from the credentials of the person talking against your points to the language employed in the discussions.
There are people who feel the phrase genetically modified organisms yields way too much ground. We found guests who didn't want to be on with other guests and people who somehow learned we were doing the show and wanted to be on it.
I freely concede that there's a level of scientific sophistication required for doping some of this stuff out and that I don't have it. But another way to look at GMOs is in terms of what makes people crazy and what makes people comparatively calm. I think I can handle that. You'll hear from the stakeholders today.
