GMOs - your opinion

Postby The All-Natural Future » Thu Nov 27, 2014 9:09 pm

GMOs are an extremely controversial topic of discussion. Some claim that such genetic food is healthy and without harmful effects, that it will "feed the world". Others point out that they are a contamination of nature, that also has devastating effects on health.

My opinion: genetically modified frankenstein food is one of the three biggest threats to both earth and people. Gmos cause cancer ( http://www.gmoseralini.org/portfolio-it ... t-tumours/ ) allergies ( http://www.responsibletechnology.org/gm ... s-May-2007 ) mass suicides ( http://naturalsociety.com/monsantos-gmo ... 0-minutes/ ) and kill babies in the womb ( http://naturalsociety.com/monsantos-bt- ... ryo-cells/ ) along with causing obesity ( http://www.cornucopia.org/2012/07/obesity-corn-gmos/ ) and infertility ( http://www.responsibletechnology.org/ar ... -sterility ) along with causing extreme inflammation ( http://gmojudycarman.org/new-study-show ... y-gm-feed/ ) and they even cause autism ( http://mobile.dudamobile.com/site/healt ... =true#2676 ). All these health harms do not rven begin to take into account how they are used by megacorps as a financial tool of control. For a healthy humanity and a health planet we must ban gmos immediately.

It is my passionate belief that gmos must be eliminated, Now what are your opinions on this matter?

People who rail against GMOs are people who are ignorant of science. A drop of scientific literacy is all that's needed to see that GMOs aren't bad.

Also, OP sucks at satire. 1/10

GMO's can save millions of people from starvation and there is little evidence of superweeds even being possible, or of them causing cancer. Opposing them is just irresponsible, especially as they're better for the environment to boot.

Because they do none of the things you say, and also massively increase the amount of available food in the world?

GMOs are literally healthier than natural foods. They take away side effects, have better texture and are more durable. The issue isn't controversial at all

Yes, it is. Within reason. And just because it's natural doesn't mean it's good. Nicotene, opium, and a pack of wolves are also natural.

I'd rather have non-natural crap than die of starvation, and why exactly should we pander to nature?
