>linked to organ damage in rats
Come back when it's linked to organ damage in humans.

Are rats supposed to eat mass amounts of corn...

Aee people?

So we should give GM food to humans and hope nothing happens?

Or we could note that organ failure in rats strongly suggests that it has adverse health effects.

>Monsanto
Somehow this company conjures up in my mind as the huge evil corporation like that will doom us all

Oh look, it's that site that hired Dana Ullman as a writer for their Health section

I suggest we use people in jail as test subjects to confirm it also damages human organs

There's no animal on this planet that eats nothing but corn. But point that out nowadays and you can lose your job

>Whether Mr. Salvador's statement about how meat should be produced was his undoing is hard to say for sure. But even the issue of whether cows evolved to eat grass can be a touchy one at Iowa State. When asked, in an interview with The Chronicle, whether she thought cows evolved to eat grass, Ms. Wintersteen, the agriculture-school dean, declined to answer. "I don't have an opinion on that statement," she said.

LOTS of people smoke, you fucking douche bag.
They can do studies with people.
They didn't do any fucking studies for GM food with people.

Hmm I wonder why the name is so similar to My Satan.

My saint.

They didn't have the time and chance to. Does that automatically mean that we should take a chance? Lack of evidence of risk is evidence of safety.

>>2919175

So? The source is valid.

Now go watch Food, Inc so you can see how many products have corn by-products in them. Its obscene. It is amazing how much food you can get from an heirloom pumpkin patch (Amish are the best!)

Man, I wish sarcasm transferred better over text.

mon visage when atheist hipsters worship knowledge

mfw all the crops we eat have been GM for the past 20,000 years and an arbitrary seed from today will be more productive than one even from the 1950s thanks to GM

The source is shit too, as is any *single* study. Hell, the guys even say in their very own paper that their findings require corroboration by follow-up studies, as they were indicative of a certain toxicity, but not conclusive.

I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with the GM corn they tested. I'm saying a single study doesn't quite warrant the "WE TOLD YOU SO!" knee jerk you and the Huffington Idiot Brigade are pulling over this.

there goes another person divorcing GM from copyright law so it can an affair with history in order to avoid dealing with it's mid-life crisis.

bump for truth

So, how do I become the CEO of a company like Monsanto? Sounds like I'll die swimming in a bed of money while hipster leftists think I'm the Great Satan.

The ideal life, in my opinion.

>>2920681
By having the same brain structure as a serial killer or sociopath.

You know, I'm surprised disenfranchised farmers haven't organized to the point where they start attacking Monsanto directly.

>>2921030
this makes as much sense as "i'm surprised disenfranchised americans haven't organized and started attacking the gov't directly"

That's not a conflict of interest.
