Just restating what you said: No, pesticides are not harmful to us.
I agree.
No, genetic modification of plants and animals are not good for us.
I agree that they're no better or worse for us than their unmodified versions.
Ok, so if correlation implies causation, then the average life expectancy has gone up quite a bit because of the increased chemicals in our food.
Wow, that's a blunder. I meant to say that pesticides and GMO food is bad for us. If you didn't get that from my post. Natural and organic is the best way to go.
Unfortunately, The FDA controls what food we can eat and what medicines we can take. If you don't think the FDA is taking bribes form the major food corp and the big pharm then you are blind. (probably from the GMO and pesticides.) Chemicals are not natural to the body. Anything created in a lab to consume is probably not good for your body.
unfortunately, the Government(FDA) imposes so many regulations on natural farmers that they have to hike prices to survive. Making eating healthy expensive and hard to do. They allow major food corps to mass produce products with chemicals and additives. They make them cheap and easier to afford. The government even supports this with most welfare programs.
I am sorry, but pesticides, GMO's and other non natural additives are bad for you.
Hey, when one of the GMO's they create or a pesticide they use destroys thousands of acres of crop or livestock it'll come out. I am just waiting for something similar to the BP oil spill to expose it. It will happen, probably sooner than later.
Is a fish or cow being grown to full size in two weeks natural? How do they make it grow faster? By altering it's DNA. By changing the way it was intended to grow. Not natural, not something our body was made to recognize or digest. Point proven.
Yes, they kill pests. Bugs. You calling me a pest?

It's not "natural". So what? How does that make it bad for me?
Thanks for the response. However, these statements prove nothing.

Pesticides can be harmful to humans and other animals as well. Why do you think Pesticides are in the MSDS book? Why do they have a caution on them.
They are harmful if you ingest enough. They cause certain illnesses and brain problems.

Um, your body was made to digest certain things and to absorb the food you eat into your body to be used as energy and health. By Altering the DNA of an animal or plant you are changing its structure and how your body digests and uses it. Animals that are enriched to have more Vitamin C, E, or D are not natural. I don't want a chicken that is made to taste like beef or pork. I want a chicken, plain and simple. No changes, just the way nature intended.
Vitamin C is harmful if you ingest enough. Heck, even water can kill ya if you ingest enough.
Now THAT is a product I would buy. Just to try it.
We digest these altered foods just fine. I don't know where you get your crazy ideas from.
And chocolate tastes a lot better than vanilla.
you just don't get it and probably never will. How about we see who lives longer?
