Safety standards are written and sponsored by Big Ag for the purpose of pricing out and squashing the small family farms.
As to your questions of if they are safe...
Since GMO corn and soybeans (which are in nearly everything we eat) were introduced to the market in the mid 90’s the rates of autism, allergies, asthma, obesity and diabetes have exploded. In 1995 no state had an obesity rate higher than 15%. Today there is only 1 state under 20%. I understand that no one has yet demonstrated the exact mechanism in GMO and industrial farming that causes these but I think it would be foolish to ignore the relationship. On the farm, when you notice that an animal is having unexplained health problems, the very first thing you do is examine what they are eating and see how it differs from what they usually eat. Are people so different?
Explain how labeling something as GMO would allow more corruption?
“Safety standards are written and sponsored by Big Ag for the purpose of pricing out and squashing the small family farms.”
The biggest Occupy lefty couldn’t have said it better.
Thanks for your response on the supposed safety issues.
I’d like something more tangible.
It seems like superstition to me, the opposition to GMO.
I see zero problem in that there are foods available anywhere that are not GMO.
They just cost more usually.
” the rates of autism, allergies, asthma, obesity and diabetes have exploded. “
Wrong conclusion.
Autism is misdiagnosed in most cases. Teachers and parents don’t want to discipline kids so they call them “Autistic” instead and put them on drugs. Schools get money for getting kids into drug therapies.
Obesity is from parents feeding their kids convenience foods and keeping them indoors. Obesity doesn’t happen in kids with good meals and exercise; GMO or not.
Diabetes goes along with obesity.
Sorry, but blaming GMO on your bad child rearing decisions is liberal as you attempt to blame others for your actions.
