Default the real story of GMO food

And here I thought you were a health food advocate. Apparently not.


Is the author a scientist? No. Jes another talking head voicing his
opinion.


Here are some facts:

*A Mexican judge has issued a ban against transgenic corn, cuz it's screwing up
Mexico's native corn species.

*GMO Farmers are no longer allowed to legally retain their seeds.

*The EPA is staffed by many ex-Monsanto folks.

*GE foods do not occur naturally in nature.

*Monsanto told us DDT is safe.

*Monsanto told us PCBs are safe.

*Monsanto told us there is no side effects from Agent Orange.

*The public is not getting all the facts from biotech corporations.


I also am not a scientist. I must rely on other's statements to form
my own opinion. Do I think GMO foods are truly bad? Well, I do
believe the "facts" I listed above. I also believe I should have a
choice. These labeling arguement the biotech corps spend millions of
dollars pushing are bogus. If they can list all the chemical
ingredients on a pkg and change materials/labels/info at the drop of a
hat, why such secrecy? Why not jes tell us and give us a choice?

I suspect they are lying. (personal opinion)
