There's a lot to learn. More than one days worth, for sure. That said, there are several GMO groups on here, if you want to keep learning.0

This talk is a must see! My how our food supply is changing. What to do?

What's so horrible about GMO's exactly?
Hopefully you don't ever need to take insulin, a genetically modified bacteria is used to make it.
eta: I don't mean to come off as snarky, but having my BS in biology it often gets me riled up when people attack GMOs and generally have no solid evidence backing up their claims other than biased documentaries and websites with an agenda.
Without GMOs there would be an even larger gap in those who go hungry and don't have enough food to eat. Farmers are being driven to grow more food than ever on less land than ever, without GMOs that would be impossible. Oh yeah, those fruits and vegetables you (probably) love, wouldn't be half the size without genetic modification.0 -

Scientific consensus says yes. GMOs are regarded as safe for both people and the environment and there is a lot of fear mongering out there.0

The science on the GMOs is good.

I have to agree with MTDDS180

If you watch the video in the link I posted above, she talks about the different patented seeds. There are seeds which will only germinate if they are fertilized with monsanto's fertilizer. This only profits the mega corporations, not the farmers or the consumer. Other countries are not allowing some of the modifications to food that we see in the US until they are proved harmless. Since the early 90's the FDA has been giving the go ahead to food GMOs on the premise that they are safe until proven dangerous. Many people with gluten sensitivity find that when they go to Europe, they do not react as badly to wheat products.0

Wheat is not GMO. So your last sentence makes no sense. Wheat is not GMO anywhere.

It's not just the last sentence, it's all nonsense.

That is true. Farmers over time modified wheat. One hundred years ago, people were eating a wheat that was different from what people ate two thousand years ago. What is your point?
(At this time there is no [zero] GMO commercially grown wheat.)

Eh. No concern here.0

The bolded part I agree with. Monsanto is a big bully -- paying off politicians, taking small farmers to court, . . ..
Their food itself is safe to eat.
