My anti/pro GMO non-rant

[Jer]

If it wasn't for GMO/Monsanto our food costs would be such that only the most wealthy could afford to eat three meals a day. I'm not saying I'm all for them but we don't have a better answer currently. I also feel that the GMO talking point has been done to death by those who watch loser TV all day and buy everything fed to them hook, line and sinker w/o even questioning. Until there is independent research done that PROVES unequivocally that that it's bad for us or causes any harm at all... STFU. Not you or anyone in this thread just in general. I'm SO sick of GMO this and GMO that and to me it's just an arbitrary set of letters because I have seen nothing that shows it's actually bad for us. Having a more firm understanding of the human body than most I find it hard to believe that GMO means bad automatically. It sounds bad if taken at face value and if you blindly subscribe to whatever fear mongering the masses are currently pushing but if you really look at it logically and honestly... where's the danger? People don't realize that w/o GMO/Monsanto we would have been bankrupt as a country probably decades ago as food prices would have sky-rocketed to an unimaginable figure based on current population and food demands.

This flip side to this coin is that food labels should be SIMPLE and easy to understand for everyone. Every time we add a new law requiring another label or measurement it makes things just a little bit more complicated. So from that aspect is adding something that we can't even prove affects you one way or the other a good idea? To me... no. Now if it's somehow proven to be bad for you to ANY degree then we have a discussion to have. Until then it's just knee-jerk by the brainwashed masses IMO.
