The only problem I see is one farmers crop pollinating
another farmers crop and causing it to fail. Otherwise,
is there any prof that GM food is really that bad? I can
see new and modified proteins possibly being a problem but
wouldn’t cooking the food kill the bacteria that suposedly
would end up in your digestive tract?

This explains why they’ve been passing those bills to prevent people from growing their own food in their yards and limiting what the organic producers can grow/produce. They don’t want someone messing up the GE foods that Monsanto is selling.

The modified Genetics produce a toxin that kills insects. Remember DDT that was so safe in the 1950's that the sales men used to eat some, until they found out it had long term effect that were so bad it was banned from Planet Earth.

The sons of those sales men are now selling you corn that makes its own form off insecticide and say for you to eat it this time, once again its safe. Of course we really don't know how the modified proteins will react with humans in the long run. Because its food, not insecticide, it does not have to go through extensive human testing to be approved by the FDA.

But go ahead and eat the corn, we will find out what happens when you have children! (Of course by then, the modified Genes will have spread throughout the planet, tainting all corn crops, but hey... Monsanto can always declare bankruptcy, Obama will print them some money. Humans can then write stories about the days you could actually EAT Corn! -gasp-

This has been smoldering among the fringe since the 1990's. No, no one has ever proven that "Frankenfoods" are harmful. It is just one of the latest in an unending series of hysterics designed to agitate and entertain.
