In reply to the discussion: Kevin O'Leary (SharkTank) badly beaten in GMO debate with 14 year-old girl [View all]Quixote1818
(31,157 posts)Some GMO's could have problems, a few probably have already been shown to have issues and perhaps were kept off the market, but so far the science shows them to be "as safe" as traditionally grown foods which are not always safe themselves. Until science shows differently none of this matters other than pressure for labels which the two of them already agree upon. I also don't see how the young girl won as everyone seems to be suggesting. The Monsanto lover (who seems like an ass) got her to back-track several times away from her more hard core beliefs to simply labeling. Then the lady pointed out that those labels are going to be on 90% of all foods and people would just start ignoring them. I see the whole debate as a big wash. The young girl did present herself very well and will probably be someone to watch in the future however. A very strong debater by any standard but the science to put GMO's in a really bad light just hasn't materialized yet.
