These companies oppose gmo labelling...

The 8 reasons GMO's are Bad for you, basically talks about "We don't know this" then just says about stuff that has nothing to do with digesting, nutrition, or health, other than the "Don't eat poisons" bit....which applies to all other farming.

The vast majority of studies use Circumstantial evidence, and they use "If A then B" style correlations, which are totally bollocks!!! For example, People that do yoga live longer. A = People do Yoga. B = People live longer. So, using the A then B system, if you do yoga, you live longer. Which is total crap!!! People that do yoga are also those that will eat healthier balanced diets, do other types of exercise, have better paying jobs, etc. It's not Yoga that makes people live longer. It's the whole lifestyle that makes them live longer. Yoga is just an supplement to the lifestyle.

Same applies for the experiments.
Rat's were fed GMO food. Rats got ill. Eating GMO food makes you ill. Here's a thought....what about the food that rats are meant to eat? What about infected cages, and crap like that.

You hear it all the time with bodybuilding supplements. Gain 5 lbs of muscle in a week! Scientific studies show......They show jack all. Most studies are done on recovering patients whom will enjoy muscle memory, a balanced diet, and a load of medication to help them recover. The supplement is just that, an added bit.

The vast majority of 'If A then B" style principles are entertaining at least, and dangerous at most.

People take medication when unwell. If you take medication, you are unwell. Stop taking medication and you'll stop being unwell! Great principle to live by.

It's a very lovely principle to live by, as it's appetising in it's simplicity. But causal relationships in science are often smoke and mirrors.

Completely fair answer. I respect that.

I don't believe GM is the answer to global food shortage, localy grown and fare share is.

This is daft.
I won't be reading labels when I'm raiding somewhere for something to eat.
Will you?
Anything will do for me and family from homegrown eco friendly foodstuff to GM baked beans.

Worrying about what will happen next is ridiculous.

You eat you live, you don't eat you die.

A good twist on an interesting subject.

we shouldnt mess about with nature

[IB1]

We've messed around with nature since we started growing food and domesticating animals, farming is how we became the most successful species on the planet.

I have no real objection to the concept of GM foods but it will cause major problems because of big business and their patents etc

I don't understand where you are coming from with this.

Are you suggesting that survivors should avoid GM?

Are you suggesting that preppers should avoid GM in their stores?

What has GM got to do with Survivalism?

OOps another of those phantom replies. I'll re-post

I don't understand where you are coming from with your siting companies who do not label their GM content.. What has this got to do with survivalism?

Are you suggesting that survivors should avoid GM?

Are you suggesting that preppers should avoid GM in their stores?

[PrepperJohn]

If there is nothing wrong with GM then why are so many companies opposed to putting it on their labels?
