Yes everything cause cancer we know.

I wonder if we have less cancer now that fewer Americans are smoking?

Remember the silicone breast implants cause cancer scam? When such claims are made, always ask who is making money off the claim.

As for the rest of the world, let ‘em eat each other. Our grain keeps many from starving.

If the Commies like Russia and China don’t want to buy our grain,and try to play with the debt crisis, we should remind them that only weak nations HAVE to pay up on demand.

Good! Maybe that will drive the price of corn down which will keep livestock producers in business. Maybe it will bring the price of that engine destroying ethanol down that will bring the price of gas down. Maybe shipping fees can be reduced thus making it easier for small retailers to make a profit.

companies have proved the safety of GM crops based on trials involving feeding rats for a period of *90 days*,

Pure science NOT.

It is more likely that the excessive use of vodka by the average inbred Russian is to blame for the rates of cancer Heart disease and early deaths in that retrograde society of infantile misfits!

Posted this at the DM online, but I’ve never seen one of my non-leftie comments see the light of day on that website.


Folks should keep in mind that, even if this study proves to be true, removing GM products poses a real clear and present danger.

Global grain/cereal production would be reduced by more than half. As a result, millions of people in the third world would die of hunger and hunger-related ailments. 10s or 100s of millions more would go to bed hungry and not get enough to eat.

We’d also have to start spraying our crops with more dangerous herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, etc, because GM crops were made to be resistant to weeds, pests, fungi, etc. Runoff of these chemicals into streams and drinking water would do far more damage to humans and animals where the food is grown.

You can wring your hands about what might happen if you eat GM foods. However, we KNOW for a fact what would happen in this world without them. Unfortunately, most people making the decisions about this stuff live in the West, where we can handle a 400% increase in food prices. The world’s poor can’t.

Fine, the Russians prefer possible starvation this year to possible cancer decades from now. We all have choices to make and will eventually die from something.
