The Monsanto site was a terrific selling tool-easy to get around and pleasant to look at-green and healthy looking. Scitable was pretty good for I think unbiased info. Phd's wrote in and responded asn well as others who cited and used a reference page. The sayno website seemed to be an opinion page. There was no author or group taking credit, although some of the responders included their name and reference sheet. This was very had to trust-it could have been a government ploy to see who their detractors are.
Do I have qualms about eating GMO's? Yes! And what gets me is that I'm sure I have for years even thought I have yet to see products labled GMO's. The Scitable website brought up my concerns: we don't know the long tem consequences of consuming a GMO-how much is to much?Especially in the case of the biotech companies wanting to add vaccines to food. It seems like they will create a resistance to the vaccine. It makes me sick that business is tampering with fish and animals to make them grow larger, quicker. I'm angry that peopleare ruining the food chain for the entire world. The "reason" for this, (rather exscuse) is to feed third world countries-the answer to world hunger. And I really hate that those people are getting this food with no choice at all-no one is giving them the option to take it or not.
I believe the FDA has refused to enforce labeling because of their big business ties. The fact that their leaders come from the different food companies tells us all that we need to know aobut the FDA -that and they do not have the publics best interest at heart.
I'm sure some really sincere people are working on biotech stuff to 'feed the third world', thinking theyare doing a service for mankind. Isn't that just what the mortgage brokes said as well? "We were just trying to get the people into a house", leading to banking and financial collapeses in the US. And behind it all were a few big business (financial) firms.
