Why you should not be “afraid” of gmo foods? Depends upon what you are afraid OF. Most peoples fears regarding gmo foods are not at all realistic and more suited to a Sci Fi film than actual reality.

Organic foods and vegetables are a luxury item for the bourgeoisie, to use the language of your typical organic food enthusiast. Great if you can get it - too bad millions would starve if that was the only agricultural model.

GMO foods help to avoid more pesticides and herbicides.

Humans have never been more healthy - any increase in interesting diseases has come about through better diagnosis and extended lifespans.

Reproductive and sexual problems? Where? The human population is rapidly climbing to 8 billion. The primary reasons behind sexual dysfunction is being overweight and a smoker. Those organic vegan hippies are not all studly sex machines because they have avoided pesticides.

I grew up on an organic family farm, by the way. Love the lifestyle and the fresh produce. It is not a reasonable alternative for Earth's teaming masses.
