Typical retort from a lib failing to recognize a simple typo. Get real.

All the available scientific papers I have read indicate there is nothing wrong with GMOs. We have been consuming such for about 2 decades without ill effects in humans and animals. The fear-mongers are largely led by crooked lawyers making money from bogus lawsuits—of course, what is new here. We have been genetically modifying plants for thousands of years in the field and just because we move to a more efficient and selective method by doing the same on a bench-top in a lab is little different.

Again, lawyers bringing bogus, but money-making, lawsuits is the biggest driver for opposing GMOs.

I am opposed to GMO food, and especially the GMO round up resistant foods on several grounds. First of all wheat is the most important food crop in the world. I fear that one of these GMO herbicide resistant wheat seeds is going to either be found to be inherently carcinogenic or that after being saturated with herbicides it will mutate into not only a herbicide resistant wheat seed, but mutate into a food that is actually poisonous.

Then this seed could ultimately implant itself in non GMO wheat fields (as happened here in Oregon) and them the entire world’s wheat crop could be rendered poisonous.

Monsanto is busy playing God. The end result of every endeavor to play God results in the player becoming the servant of Satan.

Cross breeding is using God’s creation to better his creation. GMO methods are dangerous and IMO immoral.

Better Living Through Chemistry? Perhaps. Or perhaps the end of Civilization.

I haven’t heard of any lawyers suing GMO producers. Can you enlighten me & provide me with a few cases??

Thanks
