The Daily Caller deleted my comment. I wonder why? Comment below This is not science much less settled science. The mass of a proton is settled science, the wavelengths of the visible light spectrum is settled science, the gravitational constant is settled science (well maybe not that anymore). Absolutely NOTHING in genetics is settled science. So how can the long term effects of force splicing alien genes into an an orgasm possibly be in any way settled? New books are being written daily on the structure, function and nature of the genome. This is marketing nothing more certainly not science by any definition of the word. Next up; studies done on livestock? Are you kidding me? Cattle for beef are slaughtered at 36 months of age with some as young as 16 months of age. Pigs are slaughtered at 32 weeks. Using this criteria asbestos is perfectly safe. Breath asbestos for 36 months and you will be just fine. Hell you can drink mercury for 5 years before you it kills you. The goverenment secretely fed depleted uranium pills to pregnant women and it took 10 years to show the effects of it. It took longer than this to discover or notice that Vioxx was killing thousands of people a year. If they limited the studies to 36 months Vioxx would STILL be killing thousands of people a year. Long term effects are completly unknown and there enough credible studies of much longer terms than the industry sponsored ones that do in fact show many ill health effects to GMOs In fact Id be willing to wager that these 2000 so-called studies do not even say what the authors says they show. I lan to read a few and will report back. (better look out. I know how to read a scientific paper and I know how to do math and statistics youd not beleive how many I have read that did not show what others said it showed in other articles of this nature in fact I cannot recall even one that actually did the term for this is citation bluffing they assume you are too lazy to read them or too stupid to understand them) Id be shocked if the author admitted to even reading a handful of abstracts, it is much easier getting your information from Monsanto press releases I suppose. The health issues with GMO crops go also way past the effects on the genome, unknown proteins never before seen in food and unknown interactions between existing genes and the promoters added to the genes. Nothing is know of these effects and no information in regard is offered in any of these studies. Chronic effects can take decades to show up and by that time the Earth will be so hopelessly contaminated with these these cross species plants it will be effectively impossible get rid of them all. The other major problem is the long term effects of eating high ppm residuals of herbicides like Roundup. The main reason GMOs exist and this reason eclipses all other reasons is for resistance to patented herbicides like Roundup. GMOs exist to sell more Roundup. That is all folks. There is not other so-called benefit. GM crops do not have higher yield, they are not drought tolerant and not particularly resistant to pests. They generally require MORE pesticides and you dont have to believe me, the Department of Agriculture publishes pesticide use and since the GM revolution pesticide use has gone off the charts high. Nope, folks the whole reason is to sell more Roundup. Now what do think they do with all that chemical? Well they saturate the plants with it. After harvest is nearly impossible to get rid of entirely, So you get to eat Roundup for no other reason than to allow Monsanto to sell more if it. Oh yum. I am fine if you want to eat Roundup, you can buy all you want at Home Depot, knock yourself out. Put it on your Cornflakes instead of milk. I am fine with it. But if if you put it on mine especially if you dont tell me about it we will have a big problem you and I. And nutrition, Ill bet none of these studies looked at anything but the main protien, fat and calories and not at all at the thousands of phytonutrients and other micro nutrients in plants then decided the plants are equal in nutrition. Only an ignoramus from the ADA would accept that at face value. GMO crops are almost exclusively grown monculture; that is no crop rotation. This depletes the soil. Depleted soil means depleted food. Minerals depleted from the soil cannot make it to the plant. Depleted plant is compromised nutrition. You cannot lie you way outof that. This is not even controversial yet the writer writing about settled science is unaware of it? Now Id like to think folks who write for and read the Daily Caller support the concept of food labeling. I mean it is nice to know how much fat, sugar and MSG is in your food so you can make informed choices for your health and families well being. Like if you dislike DC&C Red number 5 you can look for it on the label and avoid those items. Who could possibly be against that? Which begs the question who could possibly be against labeling GMO food and more importantly why would they be against such labeling? After all it is only a technology designed to allow chemical companies to sell more chemicals. Well what if I own no Monsanto stock and I dont care how much Roundup Monsanto sells and further I do not care to eat it. That is my right and everyone elses. You have to right to know what you are eating. If the company that provides the food does not inform you then take your business elsewhere. On the other side this author seems to love the idea, well here is your chance then to help support these chemical companies that you adore so much. How do you know you are geting enough Roundup in your food if they dont tell you. Maybe you will accidentally purchase a non-GMO product. We sure wouldnt want that to hapen now would we? Maybe Monsantos CEO will lose a a zero or two in his annual bonus - you wouldnt want that to happen would you? SO now we have the chance to help you save the world for Roundup. Can you see the label NOW NEW AND IMPROVED!! FORTIFIED WITH EXTRA GMO AND DOUBLE THE ROUNDUP!! See, it is public service. Why then does the industry and the government and the Daily Caller feel it is ok to fool people and to force feed them these chemicals. Why is every other ingredient mandated to be listed on the label EXCEPT GMO and residual herbicide? As it is now if it is not labeled Non-GMO than you have assume it is genetically modified. I personally do not buy anything not labeled such but why would you care? Maybe I like oranges and you like apples. Why would you so all-fired upset that I prefer to buy opanges or grapes or non-GMO? Why do you care? Tell me what you care so much. Tell why it so important to you to keep this a secret. You eat what you want I eat what I want. What could be more fair than that? If the scientists at the Washington Academy of Sciences[sic] wants to eat GMO all I can say is bon apetit but keep it off my plate. This article is nonsense. Yes it is opinion but it should be in the comedy section.
