Would you rather have your food sprayed with poison to kill bugs who eat it, or modifiy the food so the bugs won't eat it to begin with - Beaker Aug 11, 06:05 14
- On a personal level - the food is different, my body is reacting differently to something - is it related? who knows. - Epiphany Aug 11, 06:39
- Neither if both are going to cause health issues. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 06:07 10
  - I've never heard of a legitimate study saying GMOs do... -- nm* - Beaker Aug 11, 06:07 9
    - Celebrities tell me that they're bad, so I believe them. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 06:11
    - I haven't either but have we been doing it long enough to know there are no adverse health effects from eating them? - Krusty Aug 11, 06:09 6
      - I have difficulty imagining what those effects could even be - Reagen Aug 11, 06:12 5
        
        You can have an issue where they use a gene from say a nut in something that isn't a nut that will cause an allergic reaction -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 11, 06:20 3
        
        Scientists are overwhelmingly in favour of GMOs, yet there is still major public distrust - Guigue Aug 11, 06:32
        
        I mean declare those things, but it's... food. -- (edited) - Reagen Aug 11, 06:31 1
        
        I used that example because it happened and after testing the food was kept from the market. - Krusty Aug 11, 06:38
        
        zombies -- nm - decline Aug 11, 06:13
    - GMO's cause mutations that will turn us all into zombies -- nm - decline Aug 11, 06:08
- i don't really get upset about GMs. we try to plant heirloom seeds, personally, just to keep those species going. But i get why GMs are beneficial -- (edited) - Andie Aug 11, 06:07 1
  - The economics of them are troubling in some ways but I have zero issues with consumption. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 06:08
