(27,247 posts)GMOs have many problems. Not the least of which, there are too many variables involved with human health to make a definitive claim that they are "safe".
For example, types and amounts of GMO foods ingested (including proportion of non-GMO foods), the health, gender, race and age of the test subjects, medications the test subjects may have been taking, the length of the studies, who was financing the studies, and how and how long the test subjects were monitored, among other considerations.
And despite all of these supposed "thousands of studies", many countries either outright ban or severely restrict GMO foods.
It's time to stop berating people for expressing valid concerns about crops that are designed first and foremost to reap profits and market share for their producers. Your condescending tone makes it sound like you and the other loudspeakers for GMOs have a financial interest in the matter.
I don't need or want GMO foods, for a number of reasons, and many other people around the world feel the same way.
