like banning GMOs

something all scientists agree is a bad idea

>>13123357
scientists strongly support the use of GMOs and glyphosate

>>11054438
Thats why almost all educated people are fine with GMOs

>>9814057
>The labels I've seen explicitly state "non-GMO diet,
That may or may not be an actual label, but thats pretty clearly not what I was talking about
>And it isn't just muh scary libruls who are rejecting GMO's it crosses the political spectrum of educated individuals
lol, fuck off man, its the exact opposite, its poorly educated liberal mommy bloggers. Educated people overwhelmingly support GMOs and Vaccines. Its almost entirely liberal women who have no science education
>promoting dangerous herbicides and pesticides
Keep in mind that GMOs have very dramatically reduced the application of pesticides

>>9742663
lol yeah bro, Vaccines and GMOs are bad, Global Warming is fake, Bush did 911, MSG gives you headaches
Who cares what the scientific data and evidence suggest? Science nerds don't know shit! People who write natural food blogs know way more!

What? The government is terrible at things, its scientists who know whats best and they overwhelmingly agree that GMOs are safe and useful. The American government has been far too cautious with its adoption to the benefit of larger corporations who can more easily handle the immense regulatory burden

In any country where GMOs are banned its because of politicians appealing to uneducated voters/economic protectionism or big international leftist organizations such as Greenpeace in the case of small undeveloped nations

holy shit, that is dumb and intentionally misleading

>>8287532
There is strong scientific consensus across the board, don't fucking act like its some fringe paid off scientists

>>7796917
There is a very strong scientific consensus

Acting like its one or two obscure scientists is pretty disingenuous on your part

Here is ten minutes of cited data for you

All sorts of people have done all sorts of studies. The organic food corporations have dune a lot too specifically trying to find shit and still cannot

If you think Monsanto has the influence to trick or pay off almost every single scientifically literate person in the country, you are fucking crazy

>The FOOD SUPPLY is alot more nebulous than anti-vax.
Maybe relatively, but neither issue is remotely nebulous. The science is as clear as can be

>ffshoot from everything thats coming out about what factory farms are doing to the food supply.

This has been going on long before GMOs were a thing, in fact it was much more of a problem before GMOs when all those "heirloom" strains were lost. GMO science allows us to overcome these issues once people stop freaking out about completely fabricated safety concerns

>>6965720
Monsanto is not nearly big enough to pay off nearly 90% of scientists in the country, and its really crazy that you think they could get away with it even if it was fiscally reasonable

>>6912900
The logic behind banning GMOs and banning vaccines are the exact same thing. It comes down to "I don't understand science, and this is scary"
Scientifically literate people overwhelmingly agree GMOs are at least good if not necessary to sustain the global population, especially with global warming and its ability to disrupt old pre-GMO crops which we can now fight with science

Note that there is even a stronger consensus amongst scieentists about GMOs than there is with global warming or vaccines

Reminder that there is an even stronger consensus amongst scientists that GMOs are than there is on fucking climate change
