    yah cuz americans hate cheaply made things. just look at how much of a failure wal-mart is.

    the only way it'd fail is if some massive hysteria got out about mad carrot disease or something.

      He did say hysteria, did he not?


      Has it been proved to be completely 100% safe?
      Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

        Yay! Protectionism and hysteria rule!
        The were some basis for being against GM foods years back, when we didn't know if there were any negative consequences in consuming them. Now that the Americans have already tested the stuff for the rest of the globe, there is no reason to keep non-GM agricultural products as 'worse'. Quite frankly, it seems that this ridicolous anti-GM attitude I've seen is simply a new way of next-generation new-age hippies to express their superiority by buying and supporting food which is harder to produce.

        It is all about choice - I would like to keep that choice thank you. No GM!
        ...and busting out competitive and more efficient products from the markets by goverment action is pro-choice exactly in what way?

        Has it been proved to be completely 100% safe?
        Has water been proved completely, 100% safe?

          GM food makes your penis longer.


          Which is probably why so many people on this forum are so in favour of it!

              Did I say it would be a failure? When the government forbids milk producers from labeling their milk as BgH free because that implies there's something wrong with BgH you have to wonder. If it's not a problem, label it and let the American people decide. If you have to hide something from us, maybe it's not so great. I don't really like being experiemented on without my permission.

              Anyway, haven't you wondered why there is so much growth in organic foods?

                yes of course thats the model for safety in modern society. if its not 100% foolproof safe we don't touch it w/ a 10 foot pole!

                        I vaulted sideways in my very first post, too which you responded. Sorry if you can't keep up with the dance.

                              I think the only thing hysterical on this thread are the comments from some of the pro GM side...

                              I said before - I SUPPORT THE IDEA OF GM!

                              Just not the way it is being foisted upon us without any apparent choice or input from the public.

                              And yes, the labeling issue is very pertinent - the reason why I am so against the way GM is being promoted is that it is shrouded in secrecy, what do these companies have to hide!!?

                              I mean it's all very well being brainlessly gullible and getting spoonfed what the govt tells you without questioning it, but then certain govts I know were adamant about the huge stockpiles of WMD they knew they were going to find in Iraq...
