    Yeah, they've only been studying the climate since 1988. Lol...

    Its funny though, I don't remember any famines here before GMO's became prevalent. Are you suggesting that without them you and I would be starving?
    All of human history is a history of repeated famines. Today's famines are caused not by a lack of food but by the unequal distribution of free-market capitalism.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

As for food grown using GMO Farming methods, the experts who know it best know it’s safe for people, animals and the environment.* ............ 1: http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/07/2...tists-views/2: https://www.animalsciencepublication...s/92/10/42553: https://www.nap.edu/read/23395/chapter/8#1724: https://www.nap.edu/read/23395/chapter/8#1725: https://ec.europa.eu/research/biosoc...research.pdf6: https://www.nap.edu/read/23395/chapter/87: https://www.nap.edu/read/23395/chapter/8#1728: http://ag.utah.gov/documents/AMA-Bio...redFoods.pdf9: https://www.fda.gov/Food/Ingredients...m461805.htm10: http://www.fao.org/biotech/fao-state...hnology/en/11: https://www.epa.gov/regulation-biote...-management12: https://www.usda.gov/topics/biotechn...stions-faqs13: https://royalsociety.org/~/media/Roy...02/9960.pdf14: https://www.acsh.org/gmo15: http://www.oecd.org/sti/biotech/gene...edfoods.htm16: https://www.ifst.org/knowledge-centr...-and-food-017: https://www.asm.org/index.php/public...d-organisms18: https://www.ers.usda.gov/publication...s/?pubid=45182 19: http://www.pgeconomics.co.uk/pdf/201...May2015.pdf20: https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/pu...seqNo115=68911
    Just to be clear, why don't you define what "GMO farming methods" consist of.

    Its up to you I guess if you don't mind eating insecticides, Good lord! I guess it is a personal choice. Do I want to eat a food that has the insecticide inside of the food I eat? Do I not mind if it is spliced with animal or insect genes? I guess we all have the freedom to choose what we want to eat. If you don't mind eating from an animal that has human genes inserted into it and is actually part human. I guess if cannibalism is ok with you. It is your body.
