and one issue I am adament about is, the lung cancer, that is wrong, that is what THEY would like us to think...again....

I know many people who have had lung cancer and never smoked and died...and what about all the cancers people are getting that they blame on smoking? There are less smokers in this country then ever before....
I don't and won't buy that....
sorry
Of course you won't..You will avoid reality at all costs, and actually all of our corn has been modified, as have most other grains, vegetables, fruits and animals we consume...

first you gave an example of how hearing a story about genetically altered corn being harmful [toxic] to deer was a concern of yours; then, you claimed to never have heard of such a thing

A person has to at least wonder whether or not there's a connection, because the rate of increase in some of the aforementioned areas cannot be explained away simply by natural evolution or improved diagnostics.
Agree with you all the way!

you are right in a way and sorry for any confusion....

I'm speaking of before I knew about GM...I'm going back 25 - 30 years, when we fed deer corn....
and if then, corn was genetically modified, I didn't know about it....as I've just recently been learning about it, that is why I ask, I wonder how many American's do not know about how much of our food is being Genetically Modified.

um, if you and others would spend more time, trying to get into the conversation, rather then trying to discredit bits and pieces of the conversation, maybe I could learn something from you...
what does it matter who is right or who is wrong about this....no one as of yet, knows, and may not know for years....why so one sided, black or white...? I'm not disagreeing with you , b/c I don't know, really, but, since we have the cancer gene in us already, waiting to be awakened, whose to say, all the genetically modified food doesn't trigger it? Something is, b/c more and more people in the U.S. are suffering from Cancers, and lets face it, Cancers are a huge, huge money making business today!

I saw Splice, it was scary. Wow, will have to watch it again....but yeah, what is to keep scientists from doing this, if they haven't already, in that Hanger underground out in the dessert.

Seriously, how long have they been doing GM Foods, do you know?

I would love to continue discussing this with you, as your not looking for mistakes, or to condiscend, please tell me all you know.

Finding this very interesting, since My sister spoke to me about it.

I like the fact that you give information and links, and allow others to come to their own conclussions without being a wise ars....lol

Thanks!

Well, they tried to . . . but I escaped half way through!

Half and half.

Now, I pronounce the "L" in "half".

I've totally lost the silence of some consonants.

Off ten!

It's not so bad.

Well, some things are.

But I've been warned not to discuss them, or THEM.
