Its a CONSPIRACY.

I'm a fat fuck who can't jog for one mile, but genetic engineering is UNHEALTHY-- the internet said so!

your right, I'm fat and unhealthy, so what.
Does that mean I shouldn't be concerned with what the children are eating?
With what is happening to independent farmers?
etc....
the list goes on and on,

but your right, I can't do 10 pull ups so I guess my opinion doesn't count

It means you need to put things in perspective and show logical consistency.

Why so much emphasis on genetically engineered food when, even if everything you are saying is true, it still isn't as damaging to your health as abuse of sugar or fat-filled foods? Or physical inactivity?

We don't see labels on candy bars or cheeseburgers that say "THE SUGAR/FAT IN THIS WILL DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH IF CONSUMED IN LARGE AMOUNTS", when that is undisputed empirical fact.

I don't inherently disagree with labeling food if it is genetically altered. My problem with it is that it is clearly motivated by fear, ignorance, and a misplaced sense of importance by the same breed of dipshit who buys organic food because it is "healthy", and then sits on the couch all fucking day every day.

Some day genetic engineering may allow us to grow crops without using harmful pesticides, and without any ill effects if eaten. Prop 37 was championed by 'organic' and 'natural' foods companies who have a vested interest in selling you an $8 vegetable.
