Genetically engineered food

Thanks for the link to the video.

I think that GMO would be a huge leap forward for mankind if (i) the means actually exist to test the product to ensure their absolute safety, and (ii) the producer’s primary and over-riding concern was to create a positive benefit to all (solve food shortages, provide food that will make people healthier, etc.).

But unfortunately, we are in the real world, and untested or under tested products are pushed on all of us by people whose only concern is not profits, but rather immediate short terms profits.

This will never work.

See also the documentary film "The World According To Monsanto".

The more time goes by, the more I am glad we didn't have children.

Another concern regarding kids is the huge number of forced vaccines they must have in spite of safety concerns being raised. Many states are eliminating conscientious objections for any reason; and schools in California may now administer Gardasil to kids in certain age groups (in spite of some frightening safety concerns) without parental notification or permission! Imagine your healthy child suddenly dying (documented with Gardasil) without your having any idea that they were given this poison. On top of that, vaccine manufacturers are totally shielded from liability (thank you Supreme Court) in the event any kind of adverse reaction occurs from a "required" vaccine. So, there's no incentive for them to turn out a safe product knowing that they can't be sued. Just lovely.................................

tube fanatic, do you or anyone you know have diabetes type 1 that takes insulin? Because that is a genetically modified organism that produced the insulin. If you make it a zero sum game, then people will die. When you realize how many people are on medications that require gmo's that will otherwise die, you will be astounded. Also gmo's are not as altered as you believe. A good documentary that is rather well rounded and not one sided is this BBC Horizon documentary
