The key thing here "The modified potato contains only potato genes, not
genes from other organisms". This means they are fundamentally
comparable to any normal hybrid potato, and quite a bit different from
other MGO plants. Of course the scientifically challenged population
will continue to fear them, much like they mindlessly fear "nuclear"
which lead to "nuclear" being drooped from the name of Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance Imaging a.k.a. the ubiquitous MRI which has nothing to do with
"radiation" in the way the scientifically challenged think.
