There seems to be a lot of talk these days about genetically modified food. What do you think?
I think they can be good simply because they produce many medications and are used in scientific research as well.
I wonder why you hear such bad things about GMOs in the news?
Well there is a lot of conspiracy theories, like people think the government will purposely create shortages of food so we rely on GMOs
I am not sure about this but it seems they have the potential to make a lot of money from GMOs

Yeah I guess the first genetically modified mouse was created in 1974, so something may have already leaked by now.
I think so. A lot of people have shown concern about it so it must be on the radar.
Genetically modified food
Genetically modified foods (GM foods), also known as genetically engineered foods (GE foods), or bioengineered foods are foods produced from organisms that have had changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering. Genetic engineering techniques allow for the introduction of new traits as well as greater control over traits when compared to previous methods, such as selective breeding and mutation breeding.
Commercial sale of genetically modified foods began in 1994, when Calgene first marketed its unsuccessful Flavr Savr delayed-ripening tomato

In an interview Woxlin commented that: ""When you make jokes about these themes you can not be indelicate and you should have a purpose with it: why do we make jokes about this? Is it just because it is provocative or do we have an ulterior motive? I think this is important when you make jokes about themes that are considered to be taboo."" This is one of many collaborations between Nohrstedt and Woxlin. Woxlin concluded in the same interview that they work well
