May help explain cancer rates in US..from article

Some 85% of maize grown in the US is GM, while 70% of processed foods contain GM ingredients without GM labelling. In the UK and Europe GM maize is not consumed directly by humans but is widely used in animal feed without the requirement for GM labelling.

God makes everything just fine except for some humans who think they can do better. It never ends well.

“God makes corn just fine.”

No offense, but you don’t know much about corn then. That’s like saying we shouldn’t have any modern technology.

Here is a picture of the corn that God made:

Later, God also gave us the intelligence to unlock the genes in this primitive plant to improve it greatly and feed billions of people

If we were all eating the corn that God put on this earth before man improved on it we wouldn’t have the obesity problem every one keeps talking about. ;-)

Great bumper sticker material; however, I think if you looked at primitive maize, tasted some of the wild corn cousins, and looked at productivity per acre of primitive, you might rethink that statement.

Though GM foods may be controversial, modern agriculture techniques including plant breeding have improved many crops and increased crop yields; US farmers used to feed the world and likely still do.
