A Waste of time, it wont do anything. Wouldnt it make more sense to organize a "dont buy monsanto's products“ campaign instead?

It would make more sense to stop fear-mongering and put your energies into something productive for society as a whole instead of chasing non-existant ghosts around the GMO hoax.

prove it is a hoax.


The genetically modified foods controversy is a dispute over the relative advantages and disadvantages of food derived from genetically modified organisms, genetically modified crops used to produce food and other goods, and other uses of genetically modified organisms in food production. The dispute involves consumers, biotechnology companies, governmental regulators, non-governmental organizations and scientists. The key areas of controversy related to genetically modified (GM) food are: risk of harm from GM food, whether GM food should be labeled, the role of government regulators, the effect of GM crops on the environment, the impact of GM crops for farmers, including farmers in developing countries, the role of GM crops in feeding the growing world population, and GM crops as part of the industrial agriculture system.

So many people have been sucked in by that huge business known as anti-GMO. There are people getting rich by instilling unfounded fears in people. "Your baby is going to have 6 eyes if you eat this potato!" really draws the money from the pockets of the gullible.
