Why People Oppose GMOs Even Though Science Says they're Safe

lefty lib here:

HMO's are most likely ok since your gastric systems breakdown anything you eat to the molecular level. We are probably going to have to use them to feed the worlds growing population.

And modern nuclear energy would be useful as long as the waste is utilized or properly stored. It looks like a tough market choice going forward though compared to renewables with natural gas back-up.

Just like you can't generalize all righties as bigoted idiots, you certainly can't call all libs anti industrial science. The world might be a better place with declining population and smaller communities based on local farming but that's just not the course of human development. We are going to be teeming hives, 10 billion minimum wage, consumer/worker bees.

 

Well of course they did because they didn't want to hurt the tobacco industry's profits who were paying them to do research...

I was only joking, BUT the bible said this world belongs to the devil... And a lot of liberals use science as an excuse to celebrate murder clinics that predominantly kill minority babies. Science works in mysterious ways in a godless country.

 

There are plants that does amazing things to your body. If you simply treat food as medicine, you will be careful about what you take in.

 

It's a different set. They are the same as the anti vaxxers and the people who don't let their kids go outside

 

Processed meats are exempt.

There is something wrong with it. It's a needless expense and could needlessly scare customers.

If someone makes a non GMO product they can put a huge ass label on it voluntarily.

 

Right, because processed meat are locally processed.

I don't think it's a needless expense. Consumer want the info and some of the info are very useful to many. But, some of the stuff on the labels are quite hilarious. A simplified version make much more sense. You want details, WEB it. No one is going to read a thousand words in a supermarket.

Putting on a simple GMO vs not-GMO is a simple enough change in the scheme of things on label. An easy compromised way is remove all the crazy stuff and put a few things there.

 

In fact, they should consider digital labels as an acceptable alternative. Most folks have phone, if not, market places can provide a scanner and monitor to show.

 

Does anyone support global warming? Is there a pro- global warming argument?

 

People can pay their own expense and get non GMO Verified if they wish. comes with a label

 

I don't really have a problem with GMO's as far as health and eating goes. I'm not sure I understand some of the complaints made about them from others.

 

Interesting. I had no idea.

 

Does your hyperbole detector not work?

 

Now that's a crazy idea. How the heck does the average consumer get GMO verified?

 

so...it'll cost too much (although all sorts of other info is labelled and they label in Europe without much trouble), or it'll scare consumers. Those are the arguments against disclosure? The first excuse is spin...the second I believe. But it's a lousy excuse. A scary excuse.

 

It will require future Earthlings to deal with planet-wide actions on a planetary basis, seeing this as an issue of all people regardless of country, leading to a world government.

Opening up vast swaths of Siberia and Canada as arable lands for immigration and a reboot for smarter development.
(as our crowded coastal cities become vast new reefs as a boon to fishing resources)

Thanks for the link, it's a great read.

I found this part especially ironic:

 

People are ignorant .. . meaning they lack knowledge
to . .the solution is to further limit their knowledge
cause
well . .you know what's best for them and they should not be allowed to make up their own minds.
