The preoccupation with food is a mental illness.
Let people eat what they want.

Probably, but a video of the last New-York blackout showed unbelievable numbers of unbelievably fat people walking somewhere over a bridge.
Why would prosperous people eat GMO food (which is cheap)?
I’ll pass the roundup and roundup-ready GMO’s on to John. And I do wish my groceries were labeled as to which is which.
Just wait till Mooooooooooochelle gets a hold of this, there is gonna be hell to pay!
John Stossel is obviously another highly paid stooge for Big Corn.
Time and Time again, I have seen young women that are hyperzealots about food. I think every teenaged girl goes through a vegetarian phase... and we have seen all the diet trends. Pritikin, Atkins, South Beach, whatever. Now it is this gluten free baloney, "paleo" dieting. While some of the science is real with nutrition, what remains with these women is an underlying need to feel they have providence over their health. Food is a control issue thing and eating habits is an form of validation of self will. I have seen so many picky eaters... I myself can be picky, but I am certainly not difficult for the sake of being difficult like these women I see in the healthfood stores. Interestingly enough, these women... what I deem as "future crazy cat ladies" are VERY attractive to me... not sure why.
He makes good points, and all in all, I agree with him. I think the anti GMO food hysteria is misplaced, but there are still enough reasons to be concerned, so therefore I would still prefer to eat non-GMO food.
The same is true for chemical fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers contain only nutrients needed for plants. They contain nothing else, as opposed to the myriad of harmful ingredients in manure, bugs, enzymes and all that are spread on "organic" products.
I believe that is due to quantity.
I don't think the average person can comprehend just how much food is available to the people of the United States right now.
After all is said and done, the science all in, years of no negative data, acceptance based on not even needing to know what you are eating, knowing how much cheaper, easier and yes healthier, greener it is to feed the masses.
The environment is so much better now, this ad brought to you by the manufacturers of government mandated and approved...Soylent Green!
I’m all over natural foods and we grow our own veggies, chicken eggs, and go in with a neighbor on raising our own beef cattle.
That said, I agree with John. I have a friend that refuses to buy a microwave oven because of what it does to food. What it does to food is speed up the atoms, heating the food. That is what a fire does. The result is EXACTLY the same.
My only complaint about GMO’s is the active pursuit of farmers who have some sprouted seed on their land that just blew there for payment for using someones seed.
And that is the big problem with GMO seed. But the food it produces? Meh.
Stossel’s either ignorant or misleading. Much of the the GMO corn has been made resistant to herbicides—so more herbicides can be used.
I have to be in the right mood for certain meals, salads or fish, even steak, I agree it is a control thing
Phew! Russian men are built like s**t brickhouses. And those cheap, tight suits don’t hide that fact.
How, during a blackout, could you see anybody?
Actually, city people - because they walk - are usually a little thinner than people who have to drive everywhere.
There are certainly other issues concerning GMO foods that scare me.
One big issue is that of Monsanto fast becoming the “owner” of all the seeds.
Let’s say, I have a farm and grow (for instance) corn. I don’t have to buy seeds each year because I save seeds from last year’s crop to use. But down the road is a neighbor’s farm growing Monsanto’s GMO corn. Natural (unpreventable) pollination occurs between our two crops and my crop get’s “polluted” with the GMO genes. Now Monsanto can come in and tell me that I can’t use the seed I save from my this year’s crop because since it has their patented genes in it, they OWN those seeds.
So what happens is that I will forever have to pay Monsanto in order to grow corn..... or perhaps I will even be forbidden one day to grow my own food if the powers-that-be deem me the wrong political side or wrong religion. That is power that can easily get into the wrong hands ..... and it’s happening as we speak.
