Recently, it has been amazing to me that there are people who actually argue for the existence of GMO's. While some are simply thinking about technological advancements which could benefit society, many others are going full steam blitzkrieg and refusing to look at real data, swallowing the lies of Big Pharma and chemical giants like Monsanto.
One very important thing to remember in any debate is to define your terms. The GMO issue is certainly no exception.
An argument I've seen several times in support of GMOs is this: 'Hey, what's the big deal, GMOs have been happening since the dawn of time!" One individual was so deluded on the issue of GMOs that he actually said to me with regards to his defense of GMOs that his family had been in the seed breeding business for many generations. Obviously, he had not spent any time learning the seed business, because a GMO is not simple seed breeding!!!
Additionally, the very existence of GMOs is eliminating the age old practice of breeding your own seed in agriculture as the modified seed is engineered to produce zero sowable seed SO THAT more seed will have to be purchased!!!! Sheesh!
Another argument was brought up about genetic mutations in nature in an attempt to justify GMO. It is wearying to have to labor with people over these things, especially when they call themselves Christian. Just as we would handle the arguments of an evolution-pushing scientist, so it is that the answer is that mutations happens inter-species and they ALWAYS mean that information is being lost in the DNA strain! This is exactly opposite of not only the macro-evolution myth itself but the very process of lab-engineered genetically modified organisms.

So, If you’re comparing GMOs to how a grapefruit is made or how a multi-colored rose is made, you're a bit off and we need to get on the same page. A grapefruit or a new rose is made by hybridizing two members of the citrus family or of the Rosaceae family respectively. Hybridization can occur naturally....in nature.
GMOs combine genes of completely unrelated species, say a tomato with a fish. They also interject artificial material in the gene splicing in the form of pesticides, herbicides, etc.
This is completely unnatural and the long-term effects of these foods within the diet, as well as the possible impacts these GMO seeds may have upon the environment, have not been studied to a sufficient degree.
One particularly alarming study would be the sharp rise in respiratory disease in the Indian farmers who handle GMO seeds by hand in the sowing process.
Creating combinations of plants, bacterium, animals, sea life, humans and insects was never meant to be.
This is not advancement, its perversion.
The honest truth is that the effects of these non foods will not be fully realized until decades, even centuries later.
Just simple nutritional deficiencies took hundreds of years to understand; deficiencies like scurvy.
Even today many people who suffer from nutritional deficiencies such as b vitamins(Re: Abram Hoffers work) and serotonin/melatonin are given drugs(Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil) or are locked up. Drugs and incarceration are the results of ignorance and fear, as well as literal actions of intentional slow-kill by the establishment, but I digress.
Clearly, nutritional deficiencies take time to develop, let alone pathological conditions involving foreign proteins/ genes that have never existed before. So any assurance that you hear coming from these chemical companies is sheer snake-oil, peer reviewed or not!
This is the folly of human "science". It hails itself as the great vindicator of itself. Nonsense. It is a myth that science is the great source and progenitor of all truth.
All attempts by humans to "improve" upon nature have been a failure! Antibiotics kill all bacterium which are required by the human body! They destroy the immune system, and kill its ability to create various vitamins such as k, intrinsic factor, and so forth. All the while, natures antibiotics such as garlic, pau de arco tea, Vitamin D, nascent iodine and so many others are ignored, demonized, or otherwise discarded so that Big Pharma can just keep rollin' on..
One must remember that mad cow was created by humans feeding cows other cows. What did they hope to discover? Who can determine the outcome of this bio engineering experiment which has no oversight rules as to the amount of genes added or taken out? Not only this, but what gives these companies the "right" to alter our food and to avoid labeling.
This removes my choice and this removal is not democracy but is arbitrary law forced upon citizens by a multinational company that has bought out politicians who enacted laws which are unconstitutional. This is only a B-Gates' idea of applying a monopoly over the food supply just like Microsoft was to the software industry.
I love my country. I love Christ. I reject the lies of evolution and global warming. I will keep my guns and relinquish them only bullets first. I was raised on a decent sized crop farm. We used Monsanto seed, Round-up, 2-4D, and Sinbar. I now understand their destructive nature and will continue to speak against them.
The thing is, could my dad have found alternative methods? Sure! But at the total cost of the farm. You see, most farmers can't do anything but the conventional methods, because they have been subjected to nothing short of an hostile takeover.
In 1913 100% of corn and wheat were farmer owned. Today, 95% of these crops are corporation owned and 90% of these crops if not more are GMOs.
Make no mistake, we are talking about weaponized biology. They know exactly what they are doing and what they are doing is taking over the number one resource used to enslave cities and nations down through history-----FOOD.
