6. This is a ridiculous argument

It was the job of the GMO people to prove that their products were safe.

They have never done this and then to attack studies that attempt to do what they should have done 25 years ago as "flawed" is purely harassment.

Let us see all the peer reviewed studies showing that the promiscuous promotors are not infecting soil microorganisms with unwanted genes. Let's see all the peer reviewed studies showing that the promotors are not infecting the microorganisms in the digestive/intestinal tracts of mammals. Let's see the peer reviewed long term safety studies on eating these foods and eating foods with the higher residues of round up that they allow farmer's to use.

No, the industry will just attack anyone who asks for testing as anti-science and any scientist with any question becomes labeled an activist. And only scientists in the gmo cheerleading squad get to be called scientists. That is how it works and has worked for 25 years now in this country.

Luckily Europe and Japan were not bullied into this outrageous truly anti scientific approach.
