Ian128K commented on Which Is Worse?: Eating Cupcakes or French Fries With a Fork?.
FYI: In Belgium, where "French fries" we're invented, they come with little forks (or sometimes toothpicks) so that you don't have to touch them with your fingers. So I think it's rather provincial and ignorant to declare eating them with forks to be in any way a bad thing.

"[...] The genetic engineering of plants and animals is an imprecise process and often causes unintended consequences. Mixing plant, animal, bacterial, and viral genes in combinations that cannot occur in nature produces results that are not always predictable or controllable, and can lead to adverse health or environmental consequences.
"(5) United States government scientists have stated that the artificial insertion of genetic material into plants, a technique unique to genetic engineering, can cause a variety of significant problems with plant foods. Such genetic engineering can increase the levels of known toxicants in foods and introduce new toxicants and health concerns."
For the most part, I'd probably be okay with the initiative if those bits were removed. But then without those bits, the reason for the initiative pretty much goes with it. (And that's how you know it's probably irrational fear-mongering.)
