GMO's are they safe? There is no way to be sure yet...there are no absolutes in young science...

56. You think that a transglobal corporate monster like Monsanto should be allowed

to do whatever it wants to do, to our food supply, to our personal health and to the environment until there is proof that their products are harmful?

"...there are a bunch of people out there who are promoting GMO's as bad when they have not been proven to be so...."

Boy, is that naive!

We should have the OPPOSITE premise, in government policy and in our personal product choices: That a transglobal corporate monster like Monsanto WILL harm us and the environment without the least hesitation, if there is profit in it, and thus, a) They must be prevented from doing do, and b) THEY must be required to prove that their products are harmless, by subjecting them to truly independent scientific study--WHATEVER THAT REQUIRES, including years and decades of testing--and MUST LABEL everything they sell TRUTHFULLY.

There is NO corporate right to harm our health or the environment. But Monsanto is the avantgarde of fascist billionaires who believe just that: THEIR "right" to do harm until millions die, and even after that. Transglobal corporate monsters like Monsanto are psychopathic. They have no conscience. They have no morals. They have no respect for human life or the life of the planet itself. They feel no restraint whatever from "the cautionary principle." Their ONLY concern is making money and gaining power to make more money. And they pay billions of dollars to advertising firms to fool us all that, whatever they want to sell, is good for us.

This kind of fascist power has resulted in vastly polluted air, water AND food, in very unhealthy homes and workplaces (building on landfills, building with asbestos, drenching homes and yards and farm fields with pesticides, and on and on), in disasters to human health of every kind and in exceedingly disastrous global warming.

You think Monsanto ought to be considered innocent until proven guilty? Ye gods! Please get educated about this! Maybe start with the history of Firestone Rubber and Standard Oil and the destruction of public transportation in Los Angeles, and the pall of heavy, horrible smog that lay over Los Angeles for many decades. NOTHING that such corporations sell--or are cooking up in their labs--should be considered harmless until proven harmful! Nothing! That is the only way to proceed with monstrous, monopolistic, hugely powerful corporations.
