Part of the problem is the stupid amounts of people we have living on this planet. Too many people having too many kids.

Everything we eat at this point has been genetically modified at some point :laugh:

Actually, too many people aren't having too many kids. Yes, the world is very populated but the US and many other developed countries aren't having enough children to sustain human life.

Didn't we go over 7 billion recently?

I think it's gross and who the hell decided it was ok to put chemicals in our food, duh, not the brightest thing there. It makes me sick that the politics allow this to happen, they are literally poising the humans.

We are supposed to reach 7 billion sometime next week.

Unfortunately this is the natural progression of life. We overfish, we need to find something else to take the place of the animals we consume that are becoming endangered. I'm not sure where I stand on this point as I love animals and the world very much. However people have done this to themselves. The human race has become greedy and wants, wants, wants. This is a solution to a very big problem. I'd rather people eat genetically modified fish than to wipe another species off this planet.

7 BILLION people.

7. billion.

That's not enough to sustain human life?



Please, tell me you're joking.

OP: I hear you, but personally I'm in favor of allowing people to buy GM foods after FDA approval. All products of agriculture are genetically modified, from selective breeding to produce large ears of corn through full on irradiation of seeds to produce new species (pink grapefruit, anyone?).

Mac: I think she means to sustain the population at current levels and just misspoke.

And you don't think thats a lot? The world is overpopulated - and that is a fact!

Once again, maximum production to be able to keep up with the demands of our "underpopulated" world.

Then go ahead and eat all those chemicals. They're good for you!


We don't need to sustain the population at the current level. We need to knock a few billion off. There should be a limit on how many kids people can have, especially, especially those who can't afford them or require financial help.

Sounds like we agree! (That's my proposal - that I be allowed to buy GM food if I want, and that you be allowed to live on wild berries if you want.)

No way in hell im eating Genetically modified fish. Sorry but after i watched Food Inc I will no longer eat chicken. And i love chicken. thats all i would eat. No more for me unless its kosher or organic. If people take a stand and buy organic it will become less expensive over time.

I'm not joking? I'm actually in a demographic, population & society class right now. Maybe go read a book or just watch the link.

I think it's sad that more people don't know so much of the food in the US is genetically modified. It's like food is a big secret here.

Basically, if it doesn't say no GMO, you can assume it's genetically modified.

All "domestic' food is genetically modified through breeding.
Genetically modifying animals to withstand the rigors of farming is better than pouring chemicals all over them.

I am not a fan of incredibly dense farming, but there are 7 billion people to feed and "organic" is just a quick path to worldwide famine if its scope increases.
