So basically your rejection of science is based on the organic nonsense movement and the naturalistic fallacy? Despite the fact that so-called "organic" foods also use pesticides? And the fact that repeated scientific studies have debunked the alleged harm from GMOs? RedPixel posted... The research on GMOs and the anti-Big Pharma movements both suggest that our health is not in their interests. At all.

I won't be the anti-animal cruelty vegan here, but their living conditions are sicker than anyone can imagine and even affects those who live within miles of it. So now you're basically trying to tie GMOs into big pharma -- despite the two having no real connection -- in an attempt to tie pharma hate into GMOs so you can discredit them? And, additionally, you're tying in slaughterhouse rules -- which also have very little (in the case of the meat industry, since that's the last step in the process and isn't intrinsically tied to GMOs in the first place) or nothing (in the case of the non-meat industry) to do with GMOs -- in an attempt to evoke emotion and feeling rather than reason and logic. RedPixel posted... If the U.S. truly cared about our health, they'd take preventative measures as opposed to being in the business of "treating" the ill. But they wouldn't profit from that. Another weird segue which doesn't have a real connection with GMOs, especially considering that scientific studies performed by the US government -- which you charge as being unconcerned with our health -- have validated the safety of GMOs. As for "preventative measures" -- if we're playing the tie-the-movements together -- I should point out that the anti-GMO crowd is also the anti-vax crowd who are very opposed to preventative measures. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:888384760] in Could you ...

And the fact that repeated scientific studies have debunked the alleged harm from GMOs? <cite>RedPixel posted...</cite> <quote>The research on GMOs and the anti-Big Pharma movements both suggest that our health is not in their interests. At all. I mean come on, we live by the rules of the same people who made it illegal to film what goes on in those mass slaughter house farms. I won't be the anti-animal cruelty vegan here, but their living conditions are sicker than anyone can imagine and even affects those who live within miles of it. </quote> So now you're basically trying to tie GMOs into big pharma -- despite the two having no real connection -- in an attempt to tie pharma hate into GMOs so you can discredit them? And, additionally, you're tying in slaughterhouse rules -- which also have very little (in the case of the meat industry, since that's the last step in the process and isn't intrinsically tied to GMOs in the first place) or nothing (in the case of the non-meat industry) to do with GMOs -- in an attempt to evoke emotion and feeling rather than reason and logic. <cite>RedPixel posted...</cite> <quote>If the U.S. truly cared about our health, they'd take preventative measures as opposed to being in the business of "treating" the ill. But they wouldn't profit from that.</quote> Another weird segue which doesn't have a real connection with GMOs, especially considering that scientific studies performed by the US government -- which you charge as being unconcerned with our health -- have validated the safety of GMOs. As for "preventative measures" -- if we're playing the tie-the-movements together -- I should point out that the anti-GMO crowd is also the anti-vax crowd who are very opposed to preventative measures.</quote> ...

That's not asking, that's a medical professional telling me about my health. I already don't eat red meat. Or chicken. Or any mammal or bird. For good reasons. I do eat fish or seafood sometimes. I don't eat gelatin (made from pig skin) but I do eat food additives made from insects. Doctors encourage eating of fish. But if one told me to stop (for instance if I was allergic to shellfish) I'd stop. <cite>benbeverfaqs posted [p:888387845] in Could you ...

Zeus 10/13/17 8:40:13 PM #72:	RedPixel posted... Zeus, all I was getting at originally was that I was trying to live a healthy life as I saw fit. And my only concern is the erroneous implication that GMOs are unhealthy. Whether you drink water or soda, eat kale or deep-fried bacon, I don't otherwise care since it's not like we have single-payer health insurance so your choice doesn't affect the population as a whole. RedPixel posted... You're pulling an Erik again in the sense that you rebut everything whether it's true or not. While you're trying to assign both equal importance, I'd argue that there's a pretty meaningful difference between the two. RedPixel posted... I could probably post something directly from your head and you'd find a way to battle me. I'm sorry you feel that way.

It's a mystery to me why people eat food with selected random natural mutations, or with radiation induced mutations, but not with planned, deliberate mutations. They really should teach more biology in schools.. <cite>benbeverfaqs posted [p:888390204] in Could you ...

We haven't just gone vegan, we quit eating GMOs and processed foods. lol... What's your recommended plan for better health, Zeus? Lurking the internet and shitposting all day? What's wrong with trying to branch out and improve health? lol... Says the guy who spends all day imagining vast conspiracies where GWB is using GMOs to turn people into frogs or some nonsense. Granted, your hatred of GMOs fits nicely into your anti-science views which inform your irrational credence in nutty conspiracy theories. I don't listen to Alex Jones if that's what the frog reference is, but I've heard the quote. Funny. Guessing you haven't read up on GMOs all that much either. Doesn't sound that far fetched to me to believe that whatever is engineered to kill/ward off insects (pesticide equivalents) could also have harmful effects on our bodies. The research on GMOs and the anti-Big Pharma movements both suggest that our health is not in their interests. At all. I mean come on, we live by the rules of the same people who made it illegal to film what goes on in those mass slaughter house farms. I won't be the anti-animal cruelty vegan here, but their living conditions are sicker than anyone can imagine and even affects those who live within miles of it. If the U.S. truly cared about our health, they'd take preventative measures as opposed to being in the business of "treating" the ill. But they wouldn't profit from that. But hey, I'm just a nutty conspiracy theorist. I forgot we aren't supposed to ask questions.
