I LOVE genetically modified food. I specifically go out of my way to go to the chain supermarket instead of the nearby Whole Foods, because I want the food that is less likely to get me sick, more likely to taste better (which means I'll eat more of it), and probably cheaper.

Devon and Angelo represent two voices in my head. My goal is to get the Left and Right talking again in America.
