Who's Afraid of Genetically Altered Organisms ?

Wanna bet you can't tell "organic" produce from the stuff we buy in Costco in a repeatable double-blind test?

I would take that bet.

but the veggies must be raw

How was work?

Exactly. And don't get started on "organic"! LOL What a scam!
But, of course, the REAL test, as proposed by pap is to get "farm fresh" food from two different farms - one using GM, one not. Good luck with that.
Finally, it must be nice to have a standard of living where you can afford to insist that we massively restrict attempts to increase food production and, oh say, ban DDT, decrease insecticide and pesticide use, not eat GM food, etc. Malaria and starvation are poor people's diseases.

How was the dance?

You tell me. You were here before I was. Were you using your right or left hand?
BTW, your grandparents used all kinds of GM crops and livestock - they just did it the old-fashioned way, by breeding. Clearly, they had no issue with GM food. It's only this modern generation that can afford this kind of laughable hypocrisy.

Not tonight but last night I used my left hand.
Ps. Regarding my grandparents, who knows but I just remember everything tasted better there.

There's a massive food shortage on the planet, we waste about 50% of all food grown in North America from field to table, and to solve all the problems a few people want to go back to totally organic, pesticide and herbicide free, non-GM foods. Sure, food spoils even faster, insects eat more, yields go down, we would throw out more than 50% of all food produced, and more people would starve, but the few will feel they are getting "better" food (which no clinical research backs up). Sounds like a great solution.
