Not just corn, but have you noticed lately that more and more of the produce available at the local supermarket are getting bigger and bigger. Apples are supersized and have a perfect red glow. Oranges are the size of small cantaloupes. Grapes are the size of figs and they're all seedless!! I've seen baking potatoes the size of small footballs--no exaggeration--at Costco. Are food growers using genetically engineering these amazingly perfect fruits and vegetables fit for a race of giants? If so, how long has this been going on? How long have we been ingesting mutant foods? What are the long term effects on our health?

Nope this is not genetic engineering, but progressive breeding of products. No harm in it at all.
