Say "NO" to GMO!

Omgsh okay my school has failed me. Okay then

OP doesn't seem overly interested in learning the facts. Watching a few YouTube videos does not make you an expert on GMO's. As others have said, the scientific consensus is that GMO's are safe. http://gmopundit.blogspot.com.au/p/450-published-safety-assessments.html

The set up on this was amazing.

Oh I'm not saying I'm an expert in GMO's just saying this is one of the videos I have watched and this is my opinion on it.

KMCbluestar

Wow it shows your true character saying that thanks. You guys are awfully nice.

No GMO's aren't good for us and have been proven. There has been testing on rats and the rat that only ate GMO foods ended suffering from a big tumour. Watched a documentary. Yes GMO's feeds more people but we are feeding people not the healthiest foods. It's my opinion that eating organic non GMO foods are better because GMO isn't natural.

Hopefully you're not referring to the Seralini study which was actually retracted - http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonentine/2014/06/24/zombie-retracted-seralini-gmo-maize-rat-study-republished-to-hostile-scientist-reactions/

Those rats are actually cancer prone - the study was deeply flawed.

As far as I know there are no legitimate scientific studies linking GMO to cancer.

Well maybe another video will keep the gears turning. Im pretty sure the actual scientific studies linked earlier were not even considered.

We don't know who you're talking to. The quote function would aid in clarity.

Nothing I said was a slight against you. I'm very serious when I say, if you choose to believe a video on YouTube over scientific consensus, then the school system didn't do its job.

Just for good measure:

At the above link, there is a spreadsheet with over 1500 scientific articles that show GMO's are safe. Knock. Your. Self. Out.

Op has to be a troll

Opinions are important. The ability to take in information and form an opinion is, honestly, crucial (danger assessment for example) No one wants to take away a person's ability or right to form an opinion. But more important than forming an opinion is the ability to revise and adjust when confronted with more information. (That patch of weeds looks safe, I'll cut through it. Wait, mom says it's poison ivy, so I'd better avoid it. Opinion->new info->logical revision)

If, when confronted with new information a person decides to run through the poison ivy anyway...well that's alarming and at this point their opinion can not be supported.

It's natural, so it's fine. Natural is always better, that's just science.

Probably because you went to a website that has the agenda of telling people that GMOs are horrible.
