the insidious GMO threat (and it affects HFCS two ways ... )

Is there a specific definition of GMO food?
Or, perhaps a specific method of GMO that is associated with the tainted foot?

quote:

---

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.

Seems like a very vast scope to me.
Would make it easy to throw the baby out with the bath water.Is it possible that GMO is just fine, and some large possible-close-to-monopoly companies are using poor "genetic engineering techniques" to produce a bad product?
If so, the solution may be to simply govern the "genetic engineering techniques" more tightly as opposed to stopping GMO usage all together.Getting rid of all GMOs because of a lot of tainted food seems like getting rid of all cars because of a lot of bad DeLoreans.

Asking if GMOs are safe is like asking if nuclear technology is safe.Up to date nuclear reactors are safe.
Old, deteriorating nuclear reactors are not.Nuclear technology can be used in many different ways... some safe, others not so much.
GMOs are exactly the same... too broad of a term to ask "is it safe?" and expect some sort of simple answer.GMOs are safe if done safely.
GMOs can be dangerous if not done safely.

I never said they were.This doesn't change the fact that GMOs can be done responsibly, or they can be done without care for human safety.
My point was simply that the topic of "GMOs" is too broad to ask a simple question like "are GMOs safe?"It's like asking "are cars safe?"
Well... if used correctly, and responsibly, they can be safe, yes.
If used with reckless abandon, they can be extremely dangerous.There's no real "yes/no" answer. The topic is simply too broad.
