^ fine nitpick, not proven, but that argument is straight out of the Monsanto guide book of bullshit

If the Monsanto guide book says that we should use the scientific method to gain true knowledge, I'd say it's a pretty good book.

There is a problem with ethics though when they are applying the scientific method about potentially toxic intake to unknowing human participants which is actually considered illegal in the academic realm.

Right, but that's not what we're discussing.

lol yeah, I was about to correct myself actually. I didn't read the bottom posts of the page and just figured this topic was still on the health affects of food. My bad. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Here you go Reiker.

A new paper reviewing data from 19 animal studies shows that consuming genetically modified (GM) corn or soybeans leads to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice, particularly in livers and kidneys. “Other organs may be affected too, such as the heart and spleen, or blood cells,” stated the paper. In fact some of the animals fed genetically modified organisms had altered body weights, which is “a very good predictor of side effects in various organs.”

I forgot that humans are the same as rats/mice.

Again, the biggest problem is that this proposition was an underhanded way for big business to route out small businesses. Everyone in support of 37 have been swindled exactly how they wanted you to be.

I'm not completely against the provisions of the proposition, but the thing was written terribly and really had nothing to do with "protecting people from GM food" like they were trying to lead people to believe. Fortunately, the majority were able to see through this.

Come up with a plan that doesn't completely cripple small retailers and try again.

When I go grocery shopping I walk up and down aisles without putting jack shit in the cart, and I'm not even looking to not eat GMO (well, there's no labels so how would you know?). I skip it because the American diet is high fructose corn syrup cholestoral processed ass bullshit.

So ya, 95% of groceries are not food.
