To be clear, I'm not arguing against them as much as I'm asserting my distrust of the companies that claim they're completely safe.

I don't think it's companies you distrust. It's the scientific community.

As Ogie said, it's no different than denying global warming.

Mitch Daniels is a scientist?

Did anyone say he was?

The scientific concesus is that GMO's are not harmful. Do you disagree with that? If so, I would advise searching Google as it will probably save us both time here. Not trying to be condescending or a dick but as the author said, the science is emphatic.

The author has less credibility than anyone posting in this thread

1) Well, I know a little about it.

2) I'm saying the author is full of shit. He doesn't give a shit about people in Africa. It's a childish argument he's using. I know he doesn't give a shit because I know what the guy has voted for. Bad faith. He does not come across as very trustworthy or as expert.

1.) You have yet to display that knowledge in anything resembling a counter argument to the article. Ogie and I have been waiting and requesting a counterargument.

2.) The message is invalid because I don't like the messenger. Got it.

I'm not talking about cross pollinating, nobody is concerned about outcrossing ..it's the insecticides being sewn in( that's Monsanto) and they were the first.

Because we all know that we can't trust the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine :roll:

https://allianceforscience.cornell.edu/ ... ebate-over

You know, they also are strongly in favor of moving off of fossil fuels, but I guess the checks from Exxon haven't cleared, despite their revenue being 10x Monsanto's. :roll:

Don’t confuse non gmo with organic. There are plenty of conventional crops grown that are non gmo that are non organic as well. And most grow well within yield trials when it comes to grains. For that matter, mistvorganic farnets I know yield very well. If you want to help stRving people in Africa and India I’m not so sure GMO or even the Soy/corn nutrition complex is the right answer.

Yup. Like I said at the very beginning, if you’re conflating Monsanto and GMOs, you’re gonna have a bad time.

If we are talking about growing crops in India and Africa, I don’t think any solution other than GMOs is tenable.

I just read the article. I wouldn’t know Mitch Daniels from Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky if they both passed me on the street. If you take issue with Daniels then just go with the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine source Ogie linked to. Or another one of the countless sources from academica that support GMOs.

Because I've read about the issue for years and knew the author was telling the truth about the scientific community backing him. Not much else to worry about.

Here's a link from one of the most liberal websites on the internet confirming what Ogie and I are saying:

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/jon-enti ... 72130.html

Quote:
In sharp contrast to public views about GMOs, 89% of scientists believe genetically modified foods are safe.

That’s the most eye-opening finding in a Pew Research Center study on science literacy, undertaken in cooperation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and released on January 29.

The overwhelming scientific consensus exceeds the percentage of scientists, 88%, who think humans are mostly responsible for climate change.


Here's another one from a university.

https://allianceforscience.cornell.edu/ ... ebate-over
Quote:
The GMO debate is over — again. Last week, the prestigious National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine issued what is probably the most far-reaching report ever produced by the scientific community on genetically engineered food and crops. The conclusion was unambiguous: Having examined hundreds of scientific papers written on the subject, sat through hours of live testimony from activists and considered hundreds more comments from the general public, the scientists wrote that they "found no substantiated evidence that foods from GE crops were less safe than foods from non-GE crops."


At some point, people will need to stop attacking the messengers and address the message.

I have no issues with people remaining skeptical despite some of these credentialed links. I get it, and appreciate skepticism more than most I would imagine. But it's as clear as day that you can't claim the left is the "party of science" because of climate change and then proceed to disagree with the assertion that GMOs are safe. Those two opinions don't compute.

If your against GMO then you might as well not vaccinate your kids and start teaching them the Earth is flat.

I don't think that anyone here has come out against gmos per se, just still with a healthy skepticism of their biggest and most zealous corporate proponents.

Can't claim a "healthy" skepticism when the skepticism has amounted to "Who's bribing the scientists?" and "I've been to Europe once. Food tastes better there. GMOs = bad"

I denounced Monsanto almost immediately after creating this thread. You need to come up with a better rebuttal to be taken seriously on this particular issue. This thread is already 3.5 pages long and nobody has offered one rebuttal yet.

I never realized how bad FF is at summarizing his opponent's arguments.

He has, at long last, lost his cool.

They have enviromental and health concerns, also the rampant scientific fraud concerns. How many Monsanto employees have moved into government positions or vice versa in this country? Those are the loudest and most aggressive gmo proponents.
