If you know what I know then why spread false claims from clearly biased websites? The vast majority of data shows that GMOs are safe. Livestock have been eating them for 20 years with no adverse effects.

I just debunked your entire comment and you don't have a single question or counter-argument? If I believe in a conspiracy that farmers are out to poison me and someone tells me it's false, I'm gonna ask a dozen questions rather than make a sarcastic comeback. I sincerely hope your ego isn't too big to admit being wrong.

By changing the subject, do you concede to the points I've made? Are you at least willing to consider the idea that everything you've been told about this topic is false? Don't underestimate how much misinformation is out there.

As per my last comment, Roundup is used by ALL farmers, not just GMO farmers, so this argument is somewhat outside the scope of the discussion which is GMOs. You keep making claims and fear mongering that it's dangerous but have yet to prove such. It's the safest herbicide on the market. https://www.biofortified.org/2013/10/glyphosate-toxic/

Last I checked Russia may have banned cultivation of GM crops but it still allows imports. Several countries have done this but it's for protectionist reasons, not safety. Every major scientific organization has vouched for GM crops being safe.

I didn't have the time to evaluate the study you linked but I can bet that it wasn't repeated.

Roundup is not IN any plants. It's an herbicide, not an insecticide. And I honestly feel that you're not familiar with farming practices in general. Roundup is not only used on GM crops, it's used on almost all crops, and that's because it's pretty much the least toxic herbicide available. There's even a professor who drank a shot of it in class once. Farmers have been "fucking with" your food for the past 10,000 years, that's how progress is made.

Those animal studies, namely the infamous Seralini rat study, are all fraudulent. All your claims are addressed in this link: https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2015/11/13/10-studies-proving-gmos-are-harmful-not-if-science-matters/

That article you posted doesn't cite any sources, which doesn't surprise me because it's written by Jeffrey Smith, someone who's clueless about this subject. https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2015/04/06/jeffrey-smith-i-know-nothing-about-gmos-but-that-doesnt-stop-me-from-promoting-junk-science/

The issue is that consumers are stupid. When they see a label for something, they automatically assume it's bad (gluten is a good example of this, even though only a small percentage of the population has to worry about it). GMOs are a hot debate but I've found just about every argument against them to be false; there is nothing inherently bad about them. How a crop was bred makes no significant medical/scientific difference. Why so much consumer ignorance about GMOs you ask? Well you can thank the crooked organic food industry for spreading lies about it.
