At my job, the prices are a lot higher than at other restaurants. Many customers complain about the cost of food and often wonder why the prices are so high, and the response from us is that our food is "healthful." you may be wondering what it means to be healthful and in truth it isn't quite the same as healthy. See, our food is packed full of enough calories to make triple bypass surgery necessary for your survival, and it isn't always the best tasting food either, but one thing my job prices itself on is that our food is organic and non-GMO. I've recently become very annoyed with the anti-GMO movement and upon further research came to realize that most scientists condone the usage of genetic modification on plants as a healthy alternative to just trying to grow them yourself in a garden. GMOs have actually improved the life expectancy in several parts of the world and made food cheaper in America, and yet to this day there are those who think GMOs are a danger to humanity. Like the "climate change is a hoax" crowd, they haven't totally thought out the reason for the conspiracy or the alleged danger, but their fear of GMOs has led them to fall prey to businesses that claim to sell non-GMO foods, even if those products are on average actually worse for your health than GMOs would be.
But I'm not gonna just use this time to flex on the anti GMO movement and related anti vaxxers. I want to take this time to open the floor to anti-GMO folks and the anti-anti-GMO crowd. If you're anti-GMO,why do you think Genetically modified organisms are dangerous? If you're pro-GMO, what is your opinion on the movement and society's response?
