I hate canned peas with a passion. I hate them so much that I gag or throw 
up if someone tries to make me eat them. (Not being a child anymore, I don't 
have to worry about that.) I'd rather eat bugs.

GMO foods scare me. I don't like the idea of things being messed with on 
such an intimate level and being released into the environment before the 
people that are mucking with them know what they are going to do. There was 
no way that any of these GMO crops would cross polinate with like crops. 
This was a gauranty from the companies doing the research and playing about 
with things that they haven't mucked with, in ways that they hadn't mucked 
with them before. I never believed it, and I couldn't understand how anyone 
could believe it either. I've planted stuff in the garden before that had 
been hybridized, and sometimes got two or three different plants from one 
seed. Like the time I planted pumkin and got that plus two different kinds 
of squash. BTW, I dug the seeds out of said pumpkin myself. Anyway, back on 
topic. Surprise, surprise! Oops, we made a mistake, they can 
cross-pollinate!

I don't trust GM foods, and I won't for another 20 years or so, at least. 
There has not been enough research done on them, in any way, by any one, to 
convince me that they aren't or are safe, but the people who have voiced 
their concerns about these foods have very convincing arguments that sound 
like they are based more in reality then the ones that the companies throw 
out to convince me that they are safe. So I will opt on the safe side and 
not trust these foods until all the research is in.

And if the entire world disagrees with you, then the whole world is a mob of 
idiots.

And this is the only thing that I am saying about the whole GMO food debate.




Just another idiot in the mob.
