Melissa McIntyre: Ashley Kerwin

Quotes 

• Emma Nelson : [holding a tomato]  Mr. Raditch, try one of these.

  Principal Daniel Raditch : Tomatoes.

  Nadia Jamir : Genetically modified tomatoes, like Sheila uses in the caf.

  Principal Daniel Raditch : It's perfectly fine.

  Emma Nelson : Yeah, and you could hardly even taste the scorpion, can you? They add scorpion DNA to make them resistant to pests. Of course, nobody knows what eating scorpion DNA will do to us.

  Principal Daniel Raditch : You're right. That is disturbing, but it's also speculation. I've done some research on GM foods and I know they haven't proven to be harmful.

  Ashley Kerwin : Or harmless.

  Principal Daniel Raditch : Making crops resistant to drought and disease might be worth the risk. Thanks for all your hard work and for bringing this to my attention, but with the cutbacks, we're lucky to even have a cafeteria. I'm sorry.
