124. This GMO crap has infiltrated the entire US food supply

Wed Sep 9, 2015, 10:02 PM

Sep 2015

I didn't have any idea that almost all candy made in the US is made from GMO ingredients until I saw a UK special on foods. An M&M's bag was shown and there was the warning that doesn't exist in the US.

It doesn't stop there- everything that has corn syrup (which is almost everything) has corn syrup that is made from GMO corn. Everything with Soy that isn't labeled "Organic" or "GMO Free" is made with GMO Soy- people would be surprised how many things that includes. Most salad dressings contain GMO soybean oil.

Probably almost all processed foods that come in a box now contain some kind of GMO.

Sneaking this stuff into almost everything should be a crime. Accusing people of being "Anti-Science" for objecting is insanity and an outrage. People in favor of more info and labeling wouldn't sneak non-gmo food into a GMO lover's brownies.

Please tell everyone you know- it's up to us proles to get the word out since Monsanto and Congress are about to make it illegal (...) to label any GMO food in the US. Us pro-info and pro-label people haven't begun to fight.

There is no such evidence. immoderate Sep 2015 #12

I too like to call things "attacks" simply because they don't hold the same position as I do LanternWaste Sep 2015 #16

Your response seems to have missed the context of the actual discussion. HuckleB Sep 2015 #17

Who's Seralini? n/t GitRDun Sep 2015 #34

Google: Seralini Science Based Medicine. HuckleB Sep 2015 #37

OK I see he's a guy that did an ant-GMO study that had to be retracted. GitRDun Sep 2015 #42

No, everything he has done about GMOs has been shown to be baseless. HuckleB Sep 2015 #51

I don't fail to realize it because you provide no information, just hyperbole GitRDun Sep 2015 #60

You're not new to this topic at all. HuckleB Sep 2015 #63

Roundup is not a GMO. HuckleB Sep 2015 #97

Roundup is widely used on GMO Roundup-Ready crops. Hun Joro Sep 2015 #106

It is used on many non-GMO crops. HuckleB Sep 2015 #116

Show me several decades of evidence as to the safety of GMO's, Mr HuckleB. truedelphi Sep 2015 #39

That's a whole stew of conspiracy via bad correlation. HuckleB Sep 2015 #95

Of course there is a lot of "research" on GMO's -- truedelphi Sep 2015 #107

And your anti-science nonsense continues. HuckleB Sep 2015 #109

No evidence from science shows GMOs to be safe... modestybl Sep 2015 #45

It's all a conspiracy. NuclearDem Sep 2015 #96

Can YOU support your claims with actual Science? bvar22 Sep 2015 #103

I have done so. HuckleB Sep 2015 #111

Tens of millions of people in Europe stand with the science done by Serralini. truedelphi Sep 2015 #108

You are simply wrong... and of course offer nothing to back up your claim... modestybl Sep 2015 #100

UCS has long been criticized for its anti-science posts about GMOs. HuckleB Sep 2015 #114

Criticized by scientists whose grants are funded by the industry? modestybl Sep 2015 #148

You actually linked to Seralini's group? HuckleB Sep 2015 #151

Ad hominem attacks or industry propaganda does not make an argument... modestybl Sep 2015 #156

So much for a constructive conversation. blackspade Sep 2015 #138

Since you have chosen to ignore most information that goes against your preconceptions... HuckleB Sep 2015 #139

There is no GMO popcorn. HuckleB Sep 2015 #126

There's nothing technical about it. And you're wrong about your new claim, as well. HuckleB Sep 2015 #135

Why do you hate reality? HuckleB Sep 2015 #57
