In reply to the discussion: Are Your Medications Safe? [View all]Orrex
(67,061 posts)28. Ironically, your response is symptomatic of an anti-science mentality
No further discussion is necessary, really.
Your unwillingness to consider a view that differs from your own is an explicit rejection of peer review. That is, you've formulated your conclusions in the absence of evidence, and no one can convince you that your conclusions might be faulty. That's about as anti-science as you can get, no matter how much you insist that you're not anti-science.
Rather than engage rationally with the subject, you react emotionally to what you identify as "the typical response," implying some kind of plot by Monsanto and the FDA to corrupt your precious bodily fluids or whatever.
When you simply close your eyes, jam your fingers in your ears and wail about the evils of Monsanto, you look and sound like an anti-science crank. Show your evidence and let us discuss it.
Otherwise, accept that you're pushing an anti-science agenda, and move on.

I will just continue to skip foods that may be GMO. Thanks for the typical response!

I really do think an "anti-science mentality" is quite okay, when it comes to eating food.

I have no more qualms with eating genetically modified food than any other food.

Cool. I just wish, since I do have qualms, it was easier for me to tell which foods have GMOs.

You mean like the insulin my cousin injects ever since she went into a coma at 12 y.o.?

This article has problems, the reference to the European Medicines Agency about 700 drugs is false.

False flag, my dear DeSwiss. This article is not journalism, it is right wing propaganda.
