Did you know?

When you hear that GMOs are bad for the environment do you take into consideration the added pesticides and herbicides needed for the "organic" seed to be healthy? Have you compared a GM seed to a truly organic seed (now I'm not saying look it up on google images I'm asking if you have actually seen the real thing) There is a vast difference in appearance and yields. Did you also know that in 2050 the population will be up to 9 billion and less than 1.5 percent of the population will be feeding the world?  Did you know that 90% of the GM seeds go to feeding livestock (which includes grass fed beef) Did you also know that a GM tomato needs almost 3 times less water than an organic tomato? I'm not asking you to eat only organic foods I'm simply asking you to understand that the money going to print and create the labels will come directly out of my paycheck. And as you say it is unsafe for human consumption, The USDA, in Kansas City tested the consumption and health risks involved with GMO foods. This study came back that less cancerous cells was found in those participants that consumed a strict GMO diet regularly, and also there were proven healthier because of the nutrition they received from a GM foods. Also during that study done by the USDA there were participants who volunteered to eat a strict Organic diet and these participants made more route visits to the doctor’s office for symptoms of ulcers, and more common cold cases.

  1. Morgan,

    You certainly have found some interesting information regarding GMOs!

    I have never researched GMOs myself so reading your research is definitely an eye opener!

    Cheers,

  2. I agree with Kelsey! So do you think those who choose organic can be satified by using those veggie/fruit cleaning sprays instead?
