But how about using them to supply starving nations? Would you rather starve, or risk cancer 20-30 years down the road? How many may starve as a result of this GMO ban? The law of unintended consequences, just food for thought. |

A good example of something like this happening before in history would be the banning of DDT, which indirectly caused more deaths via mosquito borne diseases than WW2. |

Eat the toxic shit we're offering you, or starve to death. Welcome to reality. You can feed them without it having to be non-GMO food. There is so much arable land in the United States that isn't being used, and which could feed a huge number of people around the world. There is also a lot of land in Africa and the developing world that either isn't being used, or is farmed inefficiently causing low crop yields compared to developed countries. You also have hydroponics which, while mostly not organic, is at least not modified genetically. However, despite the variety of solutions available, we are told that GMOs are the only solution. GMOs have been out there now for a long time, so has world hunger been eliminated yet??? |

If GMO's have infiltrated most of the market, we have to slowly phase them out.. An all at once ban could starve billions. |

Spirituality is a direct connection to Creator The Most high. Anyone who inflicts pain on others will suffer themself from that pain. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. |
