There is a difference in cross breeding plants for hardiness and
introducing genetic material from
animals, reptiles, etc. To me it is no longer a fruit or a plant,
it is now something whose genetic make up is not necessarily something
I want to put in my body. We don't know the long term consequences
of eating a fruit or vegetable that has been 'frankenfied'.
