I was scared of GM crops when they first started getting news attention, but I've flipped now. Quoting a Greenpeace representative, the article writes:

> “GM crops have never been proven safe,” Pelegrina asserted.

This might be true in some way, but what kind of proof are they looking for? What evidence has been presented that GM crops are unsafe? Proving the absence of something (health risk) is quite hard. On the other hand, GM crops have been consumed by many people for many years now and haven't found any large scale deleterious effects.
