That's flawed reasoning. GMOs are plentiful today and millions in America starve every day. They are never going to give food away. GMOs don't curb starvation. Only way to get rid of starvation is to get rid of greed.

Unfortunately idiot consumers are the pitfall of capitalism. People continue to pay more money for shittier products because they're indifferent or don't know better.

Where is your info that GMO food is A okay?
It's already been given. Scroll up. Where's yours? The only studies stating they're not okay have been shown frauds.

I'm on my phone for today or I'd do better. Btw there is tons of legitimate evidence suggesting that caramel color chemical is seriously cancerous. Trusting something because it seems safe is silly.

Distrusting something because it involves chemistry is ridiculous.

Blanket statements implying something as potentially simple and natural as caramel color, rather than a specific variant/method (eg: caramel color obtained through caramelization of chemical sweeteners) is an oversimplification and is utterly meaningless.

Here is a perfect example of what I was talking about. A report won't tell you GMO foods are perfectly fine. But also won't tell you why they aren't. This is why people think its ok. Or ok enough I guess.

no one bringing up the usage of insecticides, poor soil maintenance, and subsidies as bigger reasons for the overall usage of gmo crops. y'all need to read more. problem started during the dust bowl. now we have crops that will grow in shitty soil with shitty fertilizers that came about from excess gun powder after ww2.
