(36,281 posts)And of course, it's a logical fallacy to propose that the recall is evidence for harm in the absence of any actual evidence before the fact. This is exactly the sort of fallacy that fuels much of the anti-GMO movement.
The overwhelming consensus of scientific and medical organizations around the world is that there is nothing intrinsically unsafe about GMOs, and that they are materially no different from non-engineered foods. Why do so many on the left summarily dismiss the professional judgement of scientists and healthcare professionals, just because a bunch of quack websites spread anti-science hysteria? I mean, think about that for a moment. Do those folks really know more about biology than the world's biologists and doctors? Really?
