You should since we are the guinea pigs in probably the worlds largest science
There are pro GMOs and anti GMOs, pro organic, pro chemical, pro this and pro that.
Well what I am concerned about is who is watching all this crap.
We have companies patenting seeds! Don't you dare grow corn unless you buy new seeds from me.
The world has gone nuts I tell you nuts!
I think I've mentioned this here or on facebook, but Serono and Pfrixer had to go through the hoops of FDA trials in order to change the delivery system of their drug. All they wanted to do was give the end user a prefilled pen that you could open and inject, no worries about loading the needle into a auto injector, pretty innocent right?
experiment.
Warning: I am about to rant and rave and bounce all over the place here.

Imagine that, having to prove something provided a benefit, in this case ease of handling.
What would Monsanto and the other seed magnates do if they had to prove ANYTHING?
Have you seen one trial on any of their seeds?
No their trial is plant it, spray it with herbicide and it lives, so it works.
Well, did ANYONE bother to see what the effects of these modified seeds had on humans?
Well, since he changes his seeds constantly, tinkering a gene here twiddling a gene there you know full well he has never stopped and done a long term, double blind, large scale (or small for that matter) study?
With all the health problems today I don't think we should sit back and believe that the corn of the 60s has the same impact on someones body as does Monsanto's corn.
I understand that the US blindly say uh-yup do whatever, produce as much as you can, lets feed the world. HAH! we don't even feed our own people.
More, more, more, make more food, more rice, more corn, more soy!
Has anyone bothered to stop and say, is all this soy good for us?
I mean more is always better right?!?!?
Your momma always said eat the whole bag of candy bars! right?
I know it is not the same thing, but in a way it is.
This rice and corn and soy is not the same as the stuff we used to grow in our gardens, we have no clue what impact this is having on our bodies!
Read Kim Harrison's Hallows series, it all started with a bad genetically modified tomato, is this fiction or fact waiting to happen?
This country was supposed to be about the people, but it is about the business.
We still allow tobacco to be mass marketed even though we know it will kill most people even if they use it as prescribed, yet marijuana is illegal?
Why are cigarettes not outlawed? GNP baby! Look at all the millions that would be lost.
The government looks out for us by creating a food "plate" to replace the pyramid.
he are the same people giving "debit cards" to welfare recipients so they don't have to be embarrassed by using food stamps
They are the same people subsidizing ethanol with tax payer money to produce "cleaner burning fuel", hint the production creates more toxins and gases than burning gas would, plus the crap gums up your car's innards.
These are the people that wanted to tax sugared drinks, and then vetoes that and instead puts a deposit on water, and only unsugared water, put some sugar in there and the deposit goes away, geez that makes sense.
I can't believe I have trusted anything said by our government at all.
Don't feel safe! You have the right to know what is in your food! You have the right to know what poisons are being dumped down your throat when you buy a drink. You have a right to be safe when buying government controlled food. Do you really think a government by the lawyers for the business is really good for the people?
I do apologize for standing on the soap box there, my mind has been perturbed with a few things that I cannot rationalize and that frustrates me.
