Does this count as a political thread? All crops humans eat are genetically modified in some way. I think there are concerns about patent law and also about sustainability, but most of us would have starved aa few decades ago without GMO.

What is political about it, both parties have taken large some of money from the various chemical, drug, and oil cartels. I just thought some of you might be concerned about your and your children's health.
Children of my era didn't have all  the learning problems, but then we didn't guzzle do colas and candy, etc. all day, we ate naturally grown foods and were not allowed to snack, I can not ever remember any snack foods. But then I didn't sit round watching TV, from the time i could pick upa spade, as soon the ground thaw I tilling the ground to ready it for planting.

Maybe if you checked out some of the studies of how some of these GM grains harm the live stock that feed on them, how modified bacteria spread to their intestines, etc. Doctors have seem a rise human intestinal problems.

You think your news journalists are going to report this, the companies they work for make much momey off of advertising. A group tried, they were ask to water the report down, on and on, so they quit

Who funds all the studies at medical schools? Drug companies, if they get off base there goes their grants.

Sweetums it isn't political, it is greed and desire for power.

I turned 76, Cinco De Mayo, May5th. I had a physical a few months ago and all the doctors could say was to keep on doing what ever your doing. I don't need or taken any proscription drugs.

Drug companies spent billions of dollars on advertising proscription drugs, why because they know there is a number of people will demand these drugs and some of their doctors will comply. The legal disclaimers should raise a flag. When some people in the news death is drug related how many times do they find prescription from many doctors.

I have been retired for about twenty years and spent alot of time studying thiis.

When I was a child we grew our own food, no pesticides, chemicals. My mother, a farmer's daughter knew certain flowers kept bugs away. Our chickens were free range, their area was moved periodically. We grew everything from asparagus to zucchini. I did have to check and pick worms off the tomatoes, and the chickens enjoyed them.

Oh, bs that you or more people would have starbed.People are starving all over the world.
We in the USA used to feed the world. What stop[ed that, inheritance tax, when their parents died their children could npt pay the taxes. So the large companies bought up the land and stopped growing people food and grow what ever their money could get politicians to get the government to pay for, or pay them not to grow..
