Remember when we were little and all went with our Moms to stand in line and sign the release for the genetically modified food experiment that started back when we were kids. We all held hands, sang songs and rejoiced at being part of history. We knew that the experiment would deliver all the things it promised and we signed our names with pride to be part of the progress it would bring the world. What a happy happy day that was.....
What? You don't remember that day? Sadly, I don't remember that day either, yet we have been the guinea pigs in one of the largest biological experiments ever conducted on the human race.... conducted unknowingly. Where exactly was the dotted line to sign on before I became a lab rat?
Think you're exempt? Have you ever eaten processed food, drank a soda or eaten at a restaurant? Well, chances are pretty good (almost definitive) that you have eaten genetically modified food. Commonly known as GMO's (genetically modified organisms) or GEO (genetically engineered organisms) or just GM or GE. Most of the corn and soybeans currently raised in this country are genetically modified....aka Frankenfood.
The implications of genetically engineered food are frightening- environmentally, financially and for our health. The statistics are astounding at best...and unfortunately GM crops are here to stay (ever watched Jurassic Park?) Didn't they listen to the Chiffon Margarine commercial in the 70's..."it's not nice to mess with Mother Nature!"
So what can we do? Say NO WAY to Frankenfood. Say UNH UNH to fish DNA in your tomatos & Brazil nut DNA in soybeans. Say I WILL NOT eat food injected with bacteria and e-coli to make enormous profits for the producers yet compromise my health & that of my family. Read your labels- if you buy packaged food be sure that it says NO GMO's (organic is your best choice)....otherwise, if it's in a package and doesn't say it, you can place a pretty good bet there are GMO's inside.

Yep OK, because you have made such a convincing argument about the dangers and you told me to
"NO to GM food"
Let me guess... you've never been truly hungry have you? I say that because if you have you wouldn't dismiss agricultural science so quickly. You want natural, then go and catch a fish becuase thats about the only food that isn't genetically modified through conventional breeding.
If you want ecoli, then eat organic. It comes from the raw sewerage they use to fertilise your food.
I doubt you will publish this comment because it doesn't fit with your world view, but that doesn't mean you don't deserve to hear it.
