But legally, any kind of food must be "tested"/eaten for 2 years by a group of people, thus showing properly whether this food is fit for consumption, before being allowed to be sold in shops. GMF (vegetables AFAIK) have been "tested" for 4 months. Period.
To quote a wise man, now the question is "can we undo what we have done, before we undo what we become"...

Yes that is a valid concern, the rules should be followed in this instance. The trouble is, who decides the rules? and on what grounds? I harbour no fears yet I agree that there should be stringent and enforced rules regarding testing. Unfortunately the people who make the rules do so with a capitalistic and profiteering approach, and therein lies its possible downfall.
What has been done cannot be undone. What we have become? we are still and perhaps will be forever becoming.
