Scientists have genetically engineered tomato and tobacco plants to produce a vaccine against the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS

I cannot have a firm opinion either way merely because I do not believe I have enough knowledge or information on genetic modification or engineering and i don't think anyone does to be honest.
We can't know the long term effects of splicing the genes of one plant into another plant or animal - this kind of thing for instance. The far reaching impacts that people with only good intentions just cannot fathom when they start down paths such as these.

Just because we can do something does not mean we should.

I am a strong advocate for not messing with our food in non organic ways. I believe in less refining and processing etc. Things are getting far more complicated than they need to be.

What I believe in most is choice and I do not think that the average everyday folk is offered enough information to make informed choices about what they consume. I find generally people are extrememly apathetic and willing to put their nutritional requirements in the hands of people who have a primary agenda of making money and have no interest or knowledge about nutrition, food or the environment. Some might suggest this is a trust issue - people are comsumed with the daily grind of their 'busy' lives themselves and just trust that if a store sells something it must be safe. I say it is apathy.
Where GM/GE is concerned I do not think enough information is provided in an accurate non biased form.

Speaking of organics - ODDBOY came up with this pure GEM of a video from some Star Wars Fans. With my current star wars passion I could not have dreamed up a more perfect method of advocating organic produce!
