Apart from the drug and syphilis-riddled Village idiot who can't spell to save his life, the point is that GM foods are clearly safe for human consumption.

With about 1/4 of food grown being eaten or damaged by pests, more by weeds, drought etc, the benefits of plants capable of dealing with various challenges and with added vitamins and other vital nutrients, will go a long way to relieve hunger and malnutrition around the world.

Given that the non-GM crops have been so evolved that they barely resemble the original plants our ancestors used to cultivate (like the pug dog that originated from a wolf) the changes from GM are not dramatically different.

The legal issue raised by Rache is not as simplistic as he would like to make out.

"GM food is good for the planet."

With that line of thinking, then so too is the increase in autism and cancers.

I myself am guilty of eating frankenfoods, but I'm not ignorant of the cost to human health.
It's keeps us all fed, but it's not exactly good quality food.

Food quality in my opinion has been going down, but people don't notice it so much because the quality of the home-brand stuff has gotten better over the same period.

Make no mistake, it's mostly all mass produced crap.
- Unless you like eating sawdust and house crickets.

If they can substitute an ingredient to gain an extra 1% profit without us noticing what they've put in it, they definitely would.

You see those sausages at woolies, they're not real sausages.
Do they think I never went to a butchers and know what a real one is?
What they're selling as sausages is closer to dog-food.

Sadly, many things in our society reached a peak some years back and then started going backwards.

AC,

There is absolutely no link between GM food and cancer or autism. In fact, the increases in these diseases are more prevalent in countries that eschew GM food.

Do you have even a tiny jot of evidence that GM food is not good for people?

I would prefer GM foods to the insects that some people recommend and are handing out, unauthorised by parents, to school children, as recently reported.
