In sharp contrast to public views about GMOs, 89% of scientists believe genetically modified foods are safe.

That’s the most eye-opening finding in a Pew Research Center study on science literacy, undertaken in cooperation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and released on January 29.

The overwhelming scientific consensus exceeds the percentage of scientists, 88%, who think humans are mostly responsible for climate change.

The GMO debate is over — again. Last week, the prestigious National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine issued what is probably the most far-reaching report ever produced by the scientific community on genetically engineered food and crops. The conclusion was unambiguous: Having examined hundreds of scientific papers written on the subject, sat through hours of live testimony from activists and considered hundreds more comments from the general public, the scientists wrote that they "found no substantiated evidence that foods from GE crops were less safe than foods from non-GE crops."

I betcha FF would have been telling me agent orange was harmless 50 years ago.

Unlikely. I’m sorry you deny scientific consensus.

Aside from their food looking and tasting different/better, I don't either.

The scientists said agent orange was harmless for decades..monsanto scientists created AO by the way.

Are you confusing agent Orange with ddt?

Monsanto created AO along with Dow Chemicals. Unless I'm stupid

I know they created AO. Unlike you, I didn't need to google Monsanto before this thread.

At some point you will need to address GMOs without referencing Monsanto if you want to convince some of us that GMOs are bad. Most of us know Monsanto is bad.

I've posted about agent orange and monsanto for years. Here's the difference between you and I, You believe Monsanto and a dozen other greedy corporations give a fuck about starving people in Africa or India...I KNOW they don't.

It's like you didn't even read a word of this thread.

If you did, I would kindly ask that you point to ONE post of mine that defends Monsanto or any other corporation.

Since I know it's impossible to comply with the request above, I'm gonna kindly ask that you read the thread again so we can continue this discussion.

Therein lies the rub.

And I don't think that some (MANY?) give the more fucks in this country as well.

I never claimed " nobody knows anything" I'm simply saying approach with extreme caution and lets wait n see..45 countries seem to agree.

You are definitely doing a "nobody knows anything" defense. You are literally discrediting EVERYONE who says GMOs are safe and yet unwilling to call them unsafe yourself.

At least be honest aboiut it.

And you're just about the last person on this board outside of Ogie and I that I would expect to make a legal=right argument. I don't give any fucks what a country's politicians say. I've heard what our own politicians say. I'm good with believing scientists over politicians.
