Study on effects of eliminating GMOs

Thank you though. While I do realize that probably some of my own comments were deleted and/or edited, I appreciate the fact that one particular comment toward me at the beginning was deleted, because it was hugely inappropriate. And I'm sure that everything I said that was deleted was not really relevant to the discussion. I actually do appreciate it, and I apologize for my part in it.0

Home grown Iowa sweet corn, picked the same day, purchased from the farmer out of the back of his pickup, eaten with butter dripping down the side of my mouth.
That's all the proof for GMOs that I need.0 -

Depends.
Was the beer made from GMO or non-GMO grains?
Hops are apparently non-GMO? Seems to me that IPA may have just become a bit more hipster friendly than I thought.

That's how many posts I deleted out of this discussion due to a spectacular job at forgetting that we have community guidelines in here. And that was after a few had already been deleted by some of my fellow moderators. The violations were literally all over the place, so I'm not going to bother quoting any of the guidelines at you. I am however, going to remind you that we have them, and violations of them can and do result in warnings. If you see someone violating guidelines, report it. Do not engage. If you feel really strongly about it, PM a mod. But do not engage, as engaging a violating post often leads to further violations, then I'm warning everybody and crying into my beer. You're crying into your beer, she's crying into her beer, and sadness ensues.
I don't like to be sad. Do you?
I'm told you can be addicted to a certain of sadness.0 -

This is the crux of the issue.
WE are not going to starve. You won't starve. I won't starve. It's unlikely that anyone in this community will starve.
But people will starve. A lot of people.0 -

But they don't matter because they'll starve other "there." Where we can see them. And we can keep eating our non-GMO foods and feel smug.0 -

My grandmother told me as a child that clowns were the saddest people on Earth, because people always laughed at them. She was a piece of work.0 -

Sad salads are when you're trying to "be good" and you order a salad, and then it shows up and there's some lettuce and maybe a piece of cucumber, but not much else. And all you want is anything else on the menu.0 -

Perhaps I said "we" because I see it as us all being together. It hadn't occurred to me that "they" are separate from me. We're all part of the same human race. That's why I said we. Ultimately, we'll all share the same fate. Everything will either hurt us all or uplift us all.0 -

But we won't all share the same fate. There are millions of children suffering horrible fates (illness, blindness, death...) because they do not have access to proper nutrition. It's not likely that you'll ever even witness this firsthand, let alone share the same fate.0 -

We very nearly did starve to death. Several times. The current population can only be sustained because of the innovations brought about by the Green Revolution. Food security is a critical step in a country reaching first world status.

Death? That's obvious. However our journey to this fate will vary greatly.0 -

Like digestion to the end, always the end
So when you found that it could not make nutrients
Well you said that it could still be seconds
But you'll admit you glad that course was over?
But you didn't have to log it off
Make out like it never happened and was zero calorie0
