In case you missed it, I repeat that the so called safety of GMO’s is based upon a ‘consensus’,


Your claim of danger is also based on consensus , is it not? Can you prove that absolutely every time it causes problems?

Is GMO perfect, HELL NO. But right now we have the safest, most abundant, economical, nutritious food system ever in history. There is a future coming where you will long for what we have today.

People with full stomachs have much to complain about, those that are hungry don’t give a damn whether it is GMO or not.

It is soon enough that we will have food shortages and that has not been experienced in our generation.

Now as for what a conservative position is. Ideology is not a conservative position. We understand the nature of man and history. The market place which I assume we both respect has decided it would rather have cheap abundant food rather than expensive perfect food.

I would also point out that your position is what you don’t want. You don’t want GMO. Do you understand what the world food supply would be now if we didn’t have it. But of course if we lived in a world with food shortages, you wouldn’t want that and would beg for GMO, and hate big business for holding it back from the market.

So why do they want to mix animal DNA with plant DNA? Why are they trying to force animal cloning?

Why are they shipping chickens to China for processing so they can ship back to the US.

Now the ‘good cop’ speaketh lacing their comments with lots assumptions and inferences.

Why is it that questioning the safety of GMO’s, questioning the wisdom of turning control of our food supply over to a global corporation, questioning if something other than lack of access to GMO’s is the cause of food shortages, questioning why Monsanto spends many $$$ preventing consumers from getting information on the presence of GMO’s in food is treated with ridicule, all bring out the inner collectivist in many ???
