    It'll be interesting to see how many genetically modified diseases come of all of this "new food" being developed.

    You mean like all the ones came from us previously breeding crops to suit the needs of each country better? diseases and sicknesses have an incredibly complicated system to them that would make it next to impossible if not completely impossible for a plant to infect a human. I could go on about why it is genetically impossible for a very long time.

    What they can do is produce a poison which would show up in a test or simply be another place for people to get sick from doing something that would get them sick anywhere else. At the best it would create a new disease for plants a couple decades after it was released as one strain finally adapted to the genetic system of this type of potato.

    We get diseases by cramming all of our cattle together. We've never felt the fury of broccoli pox.
