56. Well, I'm glad that your grandparents were so fortunate

My ancestors lived and worked in the steel & coal industries, so the ones that didn't get roasted alive for 10 hours a day enjoyed all of the coal dust that they cared to inhale. Filthy industry was a fact of life, and that's before we even get into discussions of pre-FDA food safety. Hell, compared to a lot of laborers of the time, my ancestors had it relatively easy.

Read about the many accepted uses of lead chromate as food additive, for instance.or the use of copper to improve the color of that pure and wholesome bread you were talking about.

We in the US have access to cleaner, fresher, safer, higher-quality food than every before in history, in quantities beyond the wild dreams of gluttony just a handful of decades ago.

No one has scientific evidence that DNA-altered foods do harm, since those who alter the DNA, and those who employ it (corporate entities) are not about to have tests run to determine if they cause long-term damage of one type or another, and the government are pretty much under the control of corporate entities, so they won't either, particularly under the influence of right wingers, which we're still under despite our Democratic president.

In essence, you're saying that genetically modified foods are dangerous because the lack of evidence that they're dangerous somehow proves that they're dangerous. Sorry, but that doesn't work.

There are plenty of well-funded organizations with plenty of resources to run studies to prove how "dangerous" these foods are. Let them present their evidence. Until then, the anti-GMO campaign is indistinguishable from tinfoil hattery.

And we've been genetically modifying food for millennia. It's not enough simply to say "we didn't modify them like this" or "Monsanto is an evil corporation." There needs to be actual evidence that these foods cause harm, and this evidence needs to be more compelling than photoshopped internet meme-pics.
