Journal retracts genetically modified corn study that found tumor risk in rats

58. You really don't get it, do you?

The question isn't whether GMOs cause cancer. The question is whether GMO are safe in the environment. GMOs don't have to give me cancer to be bad for me (and the planet).

Maybe they increase the use of toxic weedkillers, and the toxic weedkiller is bad for me, other animals, or plants. This maybe is in fact true.
Maybe they cross fertilize with other plants to create "killer weeds." This maybe is in fact true.
Maybe they are toxic to some insect that is a vital part of the ecosystem, and the fall of this insect causes the collapse of whole portions of the ecosystem.
Nobody has done this study yet, so we have no idea.

The point is the same: claiming that a GMO is "safe for human consumption" is a straw man that proves nothing. I want my food labeled so I can avoid it because it is bad for the environment, not for some stupid personal health concern. And if I cannot make that choice because Monsanto shields that information from me, that is a violations of the principles of the free market, upon which our economy is "supposed" to be founded.
