Most conservatives definitely support business and science.
This is a continuation of 60’s hippy leftist attacks on US corporations and scientific technology. Same ol, same ol.
But, I will listen. Please educate me as to the dangers of GMO because I am not aware of any legitimate danger and would like to know if there is.
Thanks.
The problem is we don’t know what the dangers are, other then some of the things they’ve created have made people sick. Its not a black/white discussion as there are billions of variables.
I’d prefer to know where my food comes from so I can make decisions for myself and my family. Whats wrong with that?
You don’t have to be a hippie leftist to not eat GMOs and food laced with drugs-some of us just don’t think it is healthy to eat that stuff, and that is a choice-nothing more. Plenty of folks here take prescription drugs-I do not-I believe in natural remedies-but that just means I have a different lifestyle from someone who does otherwise-I don’t see it as a big deal.
The issue at stake here is whether...
1.Monsanto should be given vast extra rights and advantages in the market as a result of political bribes.
2.They should be able to sell you a product which is possibly unsafe without labeling it as to distinguish it from other products that don't elicit the same concerns.
Good for Monsanto for making cheap soybean, milk and corn. If I were a starving African I wouldn't care if the food I purchased was GMO or not. If I were an American in sea of overweight, diabetic, cancer sticken, allergy suffering, psychologically damaged citizens who have by and large got this way since the introduction of GMO and the governmental policies favoring corporate industrial farming....I may feel differently.
