This, however, is just out-right paranoia. Further, the problems with Monsanto are in no way related to GMOs in general.

Indeed. There are tons of valid political, ecological, and socioeconomic arguments to be made against the use of GMOs.

It probably is. It subverted the natural order and has led to the cult of the science-industrial complex which controls us to this day.

Now hold the phone right here!

Nothing here is unnatural! Even during the industrial revolution everything was fucking natural, nothing in the industrial revolution was unnatural since it came into existence, it is a part of our nature, its a part of the universe.

And what cult? Is intelligence and understanding bad? You do know that science is a very natural part of Humans do you? Humans evolved to this state for a reason, and why is industry bad, with how Humans do it sure it can be bad depending on what it is, but it isn't bad by default.

I don't know about political, but ecologically: GMOs promote lack of biodiversity, for one thing. I believe that a certain gene, which made plants immune to a powerful herbicide, led to the almost exclusive use of that herbicide on weeds, which then evolved to be immune to it as well and killed off the crops. I have no source right now, but I can try to find one if you ask. As for economically, I assume Bottle was referring to Monsanto's unethical business practices, which are by no means inherent to GMOs but are likely to be picked up by any major company due to the easy profit.

Are you talking about the Seralini "study"? Because that was retracted after being debunked over and over and over again.
Monsanto and GMO foods are a danger to the human race.

How?

The overwhelming scientific consensus is for the safety of gmo food and you have yet to prove me wrong.

Also, I actually LIKE monsanto, so just saying "lol evil monsanto" doesn't mean anything to me.

Let me guess you work for monsanto, or are funded/bought and paid for by them in some way? Because there is no other explanation why anyone would support something as truly evil as Monsanto.

As if your monsanto-agro-pharma shill "mainstream" websites had any vailidity or credibility. Naturalnews exposes the truth about natural health in a world where science is controlled by an establishment of bought and paid for corporate shills.


Science is a Zionist conspiracy to destroy the Aryan Master Race by ruining the German food supply and preventing German women from having children. I've been trying to explain that to people since the 1920s, but nobody will listen.

It is an actual problem, but it's been going on for several decades, has actually been declining for quite a while now, and has absolutely nothing to do with GM crops. Of course that doesn't stop the anti-GMO hysterics from spinning it as a "GMO genocide" (yes, seriously).

Yeah, but this isn't the United States where the population is only 300,000,000; in India, that's tiny. I bet the statistics for suicides in the US are comparable.

Which would be correct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmers'_suicides_in_India GMOs can help these people get crops which can better withstand drought, yet some of these anti-GMO people will never understand.
