GMOs = The Smart Future of Food

For me the problem's are safety and the way the patents are set up.Im not convinced on the safety issue, there should be independant organisations testing these super foods to see how safe they are for human consumption. On the same level as new drugs are tested.The problems i have with the way these patents are set up is, a truck can drive by your field and drop a few gmo seed's and wolla you have Monsanto knocking on your door for patent infringement, you are growing their corn, without their permission. Either make the seeds sterile so only one generation can be grown on a farm, or give up your rights once the corn makes its way to the fields.But overall i support gmo's because if we dont plan on lowering the human population soon, they will be the only thing keeping us from starvation.

Europe to America: Your Apples Are Hazardousthese are the kind of thing im afraid of, as pertaining to the safety of GMO's.Now i know this isnt a GMO issue but a preservative issue, but it shows how american safety standards are lacking.Europe allows for 0,1 parts per million of the chemical DPA the US allows 10 parts per million 100 times more.Now the EU said just prove to us that this chemical does not brake down in to carcinogenus substances as there is clearly a possibility that it does and your fine we will buy your apples. And You could not do it.Us way of providing safety for consumers: yea you can sell it but if we find out its harmful you'l have to stop.EU way of providing safety for consumers: Um that looks like it could be harmful, show me that it isnt and you can sell it.Personally when we are dealing with products that millions will consume, it would be better to go with the European model don't you think.
