Anybody who thinks that GMO's are not hurting America has their heads up their asses. Look at the rise in Autism, Chrons Disease, Gluten allergies... I could go on and on. Funny thing, the rises in all these diseases follow the rise in GMO's in our food.
I personally can eat flour from Europe with no bad effects. Not flour from America, full blown Chrons. The only difference is America's is GMO. Oh, and Monsanto is killing our bees. When they are gone, so will we. Think about it.
Gun ownership and sales have been rising steadily in the US. Statistically gun sales probably correlates with the growth of obesity. Think they are related?
Or could it be with the rise in liberalism?
Or the rising world temperatures?
Or the growth of hybrid cars?
Gasoline consumption per capital is declining. Maybe that is a correlator?
Or maybe the "rise" in Autism and gluten allergies is simply a change in reporting and diagnosis.
I can't figure this one out, that CA voters don't want to know what they're eating (but they did vote to raise taxes).
Monsanto threw millions at defeating this proposition. They convinced the ignorant public that this measure would add to the cost of groceries and be an added burden to the industry. And I say that assuming our votes were counted. Frankly I don't know if the people have a voice anymore. Big Ag has all the power.
To be fair, while about 90% of domestic soy is GMO, only about 70% of domestic corn is.
But pretty much every Coke, every premade salad dressing, BBQ sauce, ketchup, etc. is going to have GMO in it. We've been consuming GMOs like crazy for decades now.
While I support honest labeling, as someone with a degree in Biotechnology, I hate the paranoid anti-science culture surrounding much of the debates about it.
That's a lie, something like 95% of the corn is GMO. You feed that crap to the cattle, pigs, and you're body is becoming genetically engineered along with them. Once you start down this path, there is no turning back. Unless, you burn thousands of acres, like Equador did.
Lets not let the real world disrupt the anti-GMO "organic is much healthier" kiddies:
Stanford Scientists Cast Doubt on Advantages of Organic Meat and Produce
Stanford University scientists have weighed in on the “maybe not” side of the debate after an extensive examination of four decades of research comparing organic and conventional foods.
They concluded that fruits and vegetables labeled organic were, on average, no more nutritious than their conventional counterparts, which tend to be far less expensive. Nor were they any less likely to be contaminated by dangerous bacteria like E. coli.
The researchers also found no obvious health advantages to organic meats.
That research has been debunked and isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
