In reply to the discussion: Understanding the Science of Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs) [View all]Veilex
(1,555 posts)48. Still about attacking me I see, instead of supporting the video... are you GOP?
You ARE defending GMOs. AND YOU STILL HAVE NOT ANSWERED THE QUESTION. WHY IS THAT?
You havent been able to provide one shred of scientific evidence to support this video why is that?
You are asking for anti-GMO activists to swallow, whole, the idea that GMOs are not harmful when NO ONE HAS EVEN RESEARCHED THAT,Ive neither stated nor implied this. You on the other hand have chosen to fix the parameters and details of the discussion to fit your argument. In other words: youre putting words in my mouth. Dont. I can speak myself, thanks.
while REQUIRING those same people to present peer-reviewed evidence that they are harmful.
Oh yes. How dare I require facts over opinion? Really? And I suppose you buy into everything you see on TV or the internet?
But you're right: THIS TOPIC IS IMPORTANT.
Yes, it is. Important enough to ignore junk science when it only serves to distract and discredit.
It's important enough to NOT accept your NON RESEARCH (much less non-peer-reviewed research) that these are not harmful substances that you've already put into our food.Ahhhh! Congratulations! You have bought completely into the BS that I, personally, am the enemy
harmful substances that you've already put into our foodGet Real.
And you accuse us of having blind faith?
When you act like a zealot following David Koresh and not bothering to fact check anything?
Yes. Yes I do.
Youve failed to provide a single bit of scientific evidence to support your stance. Youve joined your colleague in trying to place me as PRO GMO because I havent bought into this video as being scientifically relevant. The poster presented a video, but refuses to (or simply cant) back it? Unacceptable.
If there is any shame to be had here, it belongs to you and the poster.
Regardless, as I said before, if you cant provide scientific evidence supporting this single video,
Then Im done with you.
In short: Peer review, or it didnt happen.

Generally if it says "soy, corn or canola" on the label then it is GMO -- THAT is the labeling
