(562 posts)I also understand the logical fallacy of thinking the red flags invalidates hundreds of studies done by thousands of scientists in dozens of nations.
I also understand that those of the anti-GMO mindset are prone to listen to and give more credibility to biased websites than actual science. It's the source of the entire "debate".
The science behind GMOs is not just about industry and if you think it is....there's no other way to put it....you are far too ignorant of the subject to have an opinion that a person should take seriously. You are the kind of person that I hope our education system could teach earlier on so would have been a bit more skeptical of whoever it was that lead you down their ideological path of denying actual science.
When you insist on dismissing the entire field of research --which, make no mistake, has overwhelmingly found the anti-GMO sentiment to be unfounded and baseless-- in such a manner you are resorting to the same bull shit tactics that those on the right use to deny global warming.
To be clear, I realize people like you are far too closed minded on this subject to hope that you'd ever allow volumes of actual scientific proof to change your mind. I accept that and I can understand that mindset while realizing it's flawed. I don't fault the conservatives for it any more than I fault you for it, I blame it on our education system. We don't teach science well enough in our schools.
What I hope for, and what was the original subject of this thread, is that the news would try to start reporting on actual science instead of fear based ignorance.
