This production must be designed as safe and non infecting genetic programming, so in other cases companyes that create genetically modified food products must be treated like computer virus robbers and terrorists.

Europe is likely to continue to fight GM adoption, Latin America is going to be a battle ground as each country takes its own measures to advocate or demonize GM foods, and the US…Well, strict veggie libel laws and loose labeling standards make the US a GM free for all. Few people in the states know which foods they eat are genetically modified.

Because they are designed with antibiotic resistant genes, they can be passed onto the bacteria in our bodies, breeding super antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. There is now proof they are damaging bees, ladybugs (vital to growing plants) and even making dogs, cats, and birds sick. When genes from one species are sliced into another, the body can not register the mutated combo properly. Anytime you eat a seedless watermellon, or grape, or seedless anything...you are eating a genetically modified food.

You don’t have a right to keep other people from eating stuff you dislike." You are right. We people who like our food to not be mutated, infected with viruses and bacteria, and pushed out without being labeled as such should just protect our own children and leave yours out of it. Though, when they get sick, you really shouldn't blame anyone but yourself. As for me, I will take heed of the Japanese who have said that they will "watch the American children for the next 10 years". You can be the lab rat (many of those rats got sick), I will be the wise consumer. http://tinyurl.com/nbzzqd @Kevin

For example, there are glyphosate-resistant crops which allow extensive spraying of fields with glyphosate to eliminate weeds. Thus it is not simply the crop but also the treatment which is potentially controlled by one company. This can be better for the environment if the herbicides chosen are safer, but at the risk of monopolization.

The more that one particular strain is adopted, the greater the risk of some disease (insect, fungus, virus, etc) creating a disastrous failure because of the genetic homogeneity.

Good read. It kind of goes along with what I heard on NPR yesterday regarding food science. They were speaking about cuts of meat and how before they are packaged, the product or packaging or sometimes both, are saturated in hydrogen dioxide.

GM crops consistently underproduce in comparison to non-GM hybrids. Thousands and thousands of people have committed suicide because of total crop failures and the oppressive debt marketing of seeds. Look at India poor subsistence farmers are tricked into taking out loans to buy GM seed. The crop fails they loose everything. They have to pay royalties to save seeds from their own plants. GM food is all about controlling the population and who gets to eat and who gets to die. The FDA and the companies do not test for safety hence the deadly anaphalactic shock that happens to people that are allergic to peanuts when they eat some GM-soy. These companies should check all products for safety and not try to prop up the pharmaceutical companies by creating a sickly population from low grade toxic food.
