Then I guess I have had people (farmers) lie to my face and in person. Nothing I have read on the internet has influenced my views on GMOs, you are completely wrong in your assumptions about where I find my information.

I have a degree in Biology, worked in an area that is heavily agricultural. In that role I worked with several farmers. My info on farmers affected came from them. My views on the effects of GMOs is based on information from the doctors I know and the data that was given to me from them. With my background I am very skeptical of broad claims until I read the evidence (real evidence with data) from both sides.

If you work for Monsanto, I am sorry to have offended you so deeply. If you are a farmer, I am on your side.

I am glad no one forces you to work in a position that conflicts with your beliefs and that you are allowed decide for yourself what is and is not healthy for you. I’m thankful that I have that freedom as well.

Good Luck and God Bless.

The ONLY place the false information you referenced is, is on the internet.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonentine/2014/09/17/the-debate-about-gmo-safety-is-over-thanks-to-a-new-trillion-meal-study/

The field data represented more than 100 billion animals covering a period before 1996 when animal feed was 100% non-GMO, and after its introduction when it jumped to 90% and more. The documentation included the records of animals examined pre and post mortem, as ill cattle cannot be approved for meat.

What did they find? That GM feed is safe and nutritionally equivalent to non-GMO feed. There was no indication of any unusual trends in the health of animals since 1996 when GMO crops were first harvested. Considering the size of the dataset, it can reasonably be said that the debate over the impact of GE feed on animal health is closed: there is zero extraordinary impact.

But you said you became anti-Mosanto after reading some false information passed around without EVER bothering to research the truth.

Even after I posted the ‘other side’ you still refuse to admit your error.
