GMO’s are the vile Putrid of Globalists v. human beings.
Monsanto and Syngenta need to be shut down, now.

Starving cows will not eat GMO corn to save their lives.

I’m sure it’s good for YOU, though...

Anyone who trusts Gubbermint “scientists” and the news media to tell them what to eat is out of his MIND!

Depends on how you define safe.

I’ve read GMO grains kill off gut bacteria, which are a key component of the immune system.

Beyond that, deer won’t eat GMO corn, according to my Amish neighbors. If they won’t, I wonder why I would consider it...

That said, if someone else wants to eat them, have at it. Your mouth, your call.

I don’t know (or in truth care about the opinions of others) but choose not to eat GMO foods myself.

“And as Mark Lynas of the Cornell Alliance for Science has pointed out, many of the same tactics used by climate change deniers are mirrored by the anti-GMO movement.”

Analogy fail.

Later on in the article it provides an instance of NY Times anti-GMO.

The Times are never anti-Global Warming.

Don’t tie anti-GMO with anti-Climate Change.

They usually miss the point that the GMO corn is engineered to be able to withstand mass spraying of glyphosate (RoundUp). I don’t care if they say that the corn itself is fine, which I don’t believe. Because of the GMOs, they are soaking the ground and the food with even more glyphosate, which is a proven carcinogen.

> the relative lack of outrage over the forthcoming release of “non-browning” genetically modified apples could mean public perception of GMOs may be changing.

Yeah right.

Realizing GMOs’ potential to drastically improve agricultural outcomes, over 120 Nobel Laureates and thousands of scientists signed a letter calling on global governments to embrace genetic modification. They even declared opposition to GMOs to be “a crime against humanity.”

All right. Another scientific consensus, and the deniers are committing "a crime against humanity". It looks like the next step will be to recommend prosecution of those who deny the wonderfulness of GMO crops.

Where have we heard all this before?

Simple. Just be proud it and label the GMO food and let consumer decide.

GMO’s are not the same as cross breeding and improving on nature. For one, the plants become annual instead of perennials. The reason for this is, control of the food supply. I don’t know about anyone else, but food, water and air should not be controlled by any government or corporation..

Genetic sequences should not be patentable.

Certain genetic modifications to food could be harmful to our health.

The spread of harmful genetic modifications may be irreversible.

Science is often invoked as some sort of source of absolute truth. It’s not.

Science is mostly trial and error. And it is always subject to revision.

If Monsanto wants to GIVE GMO food to the starving in third world countries and evaluate their improved health and nutrition after a decade or two, I might be open to modifying my position.

This is just one of those topics that brings the kook brigade out of the woodwork.
