It took decades to realize DDT was bad. GMO's were rushed into use to make big money, we have no idea what will happen long term.

The Obama appointed bureaucrats approve of Monsanto goodies in your belly. Therefore, being anti-GMO is racist and unAmerican. Go live in Russia.

IMHO - Backing Monsanto over the health of American people is un-American. Russia would do well to avoid any and all
GMO tainted organisms and foods.

The anti-African protests are against non-Jewish people that have crossed Israeli borders ILLEGALLY.

Gee, I wonder why? Perhaps it's because so many are violently racist towards the Jweish people. I'm pretty sure the Africans moving there have no love for Jews, and if they're coming illegally, what really is the motivation? I'd probably be concerned too, especially if they're Muslims.

What conspiracy theory?!? We don't want our seeds and food to be patented and controlled by Corporations, especially ones that infiltrate our FDA. I really don't get what's so hard for you PRO-GMO people to understand.

Organic is and always will be what's best for the environment and our bodies.

Have to say the people who support illegal immigration into Israel...........sound like the same ones who accept illegal immigration into America.

Guess some just agree with "illegal immigration" & the chaos it brings.

Would that be the scientists who used to work for Mansanto? Or worked for a subsidy or lobbying group on behalf of them? Yeah I think so. Look up the evidence. You want to put chemicalized food into your body be my guest but stop using me and my family as guinea pigs.

Many other countries use it as an excuse for protectionism because thier own political interests lobbied for it.

The assumption that the other countries are of pure intention is hillarious.

I mean, dear god....GMO's have been around a looooong time and Russia just now reacts? If you think that's because of reasoned decision and not just a political reaction to the Ukraine stuff......
