    Is GMO Grown Food Safe

    *Plenty of people have reasonable questions about GMOs. How will this affect my kids? What does it mean for the environment? Thankfully, we have clear answers. They’re just hard to find amid all the breathless media coverage.But the people who study GMOs the closest — doctors and scientists — overwhelmingly agree that food grown with GMO Farming methods is not only safe to feed our families, it’s no different nutritionally than anything else you can eat. ..... Following 30 years of research on more than 100 billion animals, scientists found zero signs of health impacts on animals fed GMO crops.2 It’s no longer a matter of opinion. We now have thousands of studies, from hundreds of independent research groups.3 Billions of people have eaten food grown with GMO Farming — with no ill effects. ..... As any parent knows, it’s hard enough getting the little ones to eat their greens, let alone making sure those veggies weren’t grown on the wrong type of farm.So give yourself a break. Nutritionists agree we should simply eat more fruits and vegetables, no matter how they’re grown. 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

    Then you might want to stay away from corn and soy products grown in the US, Monsanto owns 80 and 93 percent of the seed grown.

    The harm isn't in ingesting them. The danger is the effects on biodiversity and unintended consequences.

    That has been my only concern. In terms of nutrition there is no problem and I never believed there was.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    This makes me smile. Are you hungry? Are you starving? Do you wonder why you have not experienced any famines?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    I am not strictly against them and I do see their value. I'm only saying the only cause for concern is their potential effects on other plants, not us by ingesting them.

    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?

    True, but 30 years is a fraction of a blip in the timeline of these species.

    But of course, 30 years of climate research is enough to predict Armageddon.
