Some research on genetically modified foods became taboo because of protests from the left. That may have prevented a second Green Revolution to feed Africa.

Totally agree. One of my daughters friends has a degree in some kind of agriculture science and was educating me about how GMO plants are actually good for the environment. The use little or no pesticides (good thing, right?), they use less water (another good thing, right?), they grow faster, thus increasing the annual yield (a third good thing right?), but all the left protest it.

Reminds me of a case study I did while getting my MBA, way back when, about Ford developing a 4 cylinder engine that burned gas so completely that it would not need a catalytic converter. Greenpeace railed against the release of that engine and Ford said screw it and shelved it. Turns out the GP was getting it's funding from the catalytic converter manufacturers.

You don’t want Food that grows faster with less water because that lowers quality. It is like that big fat peach or the green tomato that tastes like cardboard. Quit messing with nature.

GMO denies evolution and says this brainy scientist is smarter than the previous million years of evolving. No test exists to determine the damage done by modifying genes. Impossible.

More people, and lower quality food, are lousy values.
Modern food has a much lower quality, sinking ever so lower. No frankenstein biologist will reverse that.

what studies long term, have shown no negative effect of GMO food on the human body?

I believe God designed/created food for us. Being He knows what He’s doing, don’t you think He would have made it orginially grow quicker, bigger yields etc if He thought that would be best?

We have so much fake or poor quality “food” and that is why so much more disease etc, imo. I want food as God intended for humans to eat.

Left hates it because it’s free market capitalism.

Kind of a joke actually. The amount of DNA scrambling going on due to nuclear accidents is far more significant.
