I live in the city because I don't want to live around livestock. I don't care what anyone eats but personally I like the idea of Genetically Modified Foods, I'm looking forward to the day when I can order up a 3lb shrimp.

I agree wholeheartedly. Science can fix anything, as long as we throw a gazillion dollars at it. Quit your whining, and hand over the poultry, and eat toxic crap like everybody else. It hasn't hurt Walmart Scooter Blimp-O-Woman, and it won't hurt you.

Good info about the GMO kooks on the left  being the equivalent of climate change deniers on the right.

The link I supplied discusses how bad that "peer reviewed" rat study was in the comments. The best comments are from a medical journal's editor in chief.

Seems to me that the GMO 'debate' is based on a few key points: 1) general fear of technology 2) general distrust of corporate intentions 3) support from a few largely discredited papers. I truly do not know of a single paper that shows a real threat due to GMOs, and most scientists like Dr. Borlaug consider GMOs to be essential for feeding the world in the 21st century.

ahahahha Stephen you add another element (4) of dare I say propaganda, feeding the world in the 21st century. Something else that has yet to be proved.

The Seralini study is truly terrible. As an editor-in-chief of a scientific journal, I read it initially and was in total disbelief that it had passed any level of reasonable peer review. The authors set themselves up for propaganda (since someone brought the word up) from the beginning - raising fundamental ethical issues about their motives. In the end, the only way that study will be totally and appropriately discredited will be for a quality version of it to be conducted with proper controls and statistical power.

Ironically, I am not a big fan of such an expensive followup study. I believe that Seralini's work is so bad that it does not deserve to be considered a viable report to pursue. We have real problems that are underfunded, and I'd prefer not to negotiate with what seemingly appears to be scientific terrorism.

Another reason I see no purpose to funding the negative followup study is that it would not convince the disbelievers. The autism / vaccination fraud work showed that people will believe what they want.

I am also sorry that members of that team are so blinded that they cannot see the fundamental flaws in that work themselves.

All of the data points to 9 billion passengers on Spaceship Earth by 2050. Where are they going to get food? Genetically developed crops are going to be a major part of that solution,
