(28,552 posts).... if it is "safe" or not. People have a right to decide what they want to put in their bodies and no amount of hand waving and misdirection will fix that.
And one more thing and then this conversation is over. I used to be more or less for GMO foods. I believed that increased yields and other factors would decrease world hunger. What a naive asshole I was. Once I understood Monsanto's business practices and that the third world would most definitely not benefit from these products, I decided I don't like them.
It has nothing to do with "safe". I maintain, no matter how many links you post, that true safety cannot be established in the timeframe we've had, so any "scientist" declaring them safe is full of shit. Many cancers take decades to develop. How to you prove "safe" with a two year study?
Even if I believed they were safe, (and I am not saying they aren't, I'm saying we don't know) I would support labeling.
