Set up the rules, ignore them, the second someone says anything you don't like declare yourself the winner. No thanks, one round of that was more than enough for me. Go play in some other sandbox.

The OP made no such claim. The OP only asked a question. n/t pnwmom Mar 2015 #99

The OP is asking for proof of a negative. jeff47 Mar 2015 #100

Can you point to a single study in answer to his question? Don't you think it would be a good idea pnwmom Mar 2015 #102

Considering there is no study of epigenetic effects of nutrition jeff47 Mar 2015 #105

To the contrary, there have been multiple studies of epigenetic effects of nutrition. pnwmom Mar 2015 #108

Except that study doesn't say what you think it does. jeff47 Mar 2015 #111

The researchers disagree with you. They don't think it's a simple function of fewer calories leading pnwmom Mar 2015 #118

You could be right, Blue_In_AK Mar 2015 #92

I think we've found a point of agreement. Blue_In_AK Mar 2015 #113

My question for GMO defenders has also been met with complete silence. cheapdate Mar 2015 #83

I agree that you believe in your stated opinion. Liberal Veteran Mar 2015 #87

I'll rephrase the question. cheapdate Mar 2015 #153

Answers jeff47 Mar 2015 #89

The subject was limited to crops that have been genetically engineered cheapdate Mar 2015 #182

And I provided a more complete answer. jeff47 Mar 2015 #189

Equating selective breeding with modern genetic engineering is not a valid proposition. cheapdate Mar 2015 #233

No problem Major Nikon Mar 2015 #98

You ask a good question, since research has shown the epigenetic effects of nutrition. pnwmom Mar 2015 #103

Thank you SoLeftIAmRight Mar 2015 #107

What make you think GMO would be any different than any other food in this regard? Major Nikon Mar 2015 #110

What makes you think genetically modified food would be the same? pnwmom Mar 2015 #134

I asked you first Major Nikon Mar 2015 #136

It has been modified -- in different ways, depending on the food. Therefore it is not the same. pnwmom Mar 2015 #137

So you really think all the produce you eat has never been modified? Major Nikon Mar 2015 #141

No, I don't think that. In fact, I know it's not true because most corn, for example, pnwmom Mar 2015 #160

"there's no way to avoid it, if I wanted to" Major Nikon Mar 2015 #161

Are you not aware that the GMO producers have been fighting for the right pnwmom Mar 2015 #163

So this means you are unable to get non-GMO foods today? Major Nikon Mar 2015 #164

It means that the millions of people who can't afford more expensive organic foods pnwmom Mar 2015 #172

None of this matters regarding your assertion Major Nikon Mar 2015 #178

It has been modified before but not genetically modified to withstand large doses of pesticides. n/t pnwmom Mar 2015 #179

Food was routinely doused in all sorts of pesticides long before GMOs came along Major Nikon Mar 2015 #180

And now it's being doused in even more. Overall pesticide use is up pnwmom Mar 2015 #181

Wrong Major Nikon Mar 2015 #187

Wouldn't the difference be between something that naturally occurs in nature Rex Mar 2015 #143

Gene transfer also happens in nature Major Nikon Mar 2015 #152
