GM crops are too unnatural! I wish they'd ban them here in the U.S. and worldwide. How can they not mix with every natural plant on the wind? Plus, these Gene altered foods are in the packaged foods you buy, soups, etc., and they don't have to tell you on the "Nutrition Facts". It's a big experiment I don't want to participate in.

There is a certain irony - the same federal governments that are allowing GMO bend over backwards with the pharmaceuticals the other way - they overprotect us from drugs that might save our lives. Remember when the FDA would not allow AIDS patients to take drugs that weren't approved?

I believe in freedom - the freedom to eat what I want. With that freedom comes responsibility - if I eat fattening foods I do not have the right to sue a restaurant if I get fat!
