Can we live without genetically modified food? The issue has been making a big splash in the media for quite a while already.

­Lori Harfenist, RT’s own “The Resident” in New York, gauges opinion in the Big Apple as to whether or not GMO food is safe.

The long term results of GMO food are as yet unknown and at this day   this is  an undisputed  scientific fact, so the health issues are  very relevant indeed.It is unethical  and dangerous to release GMO foods on un unsuspecting population   without long term studies, because  the citizens of the world are not or should not be  "guinea pigs".As part of my university  degree I stidied biochemistry, gentetics, biology, micro biology (cell biology), , physics, chemistry, zoology, pathology, physiology anatomy so I  am qualified to comment.No GMO  food should be released for human or animal consumption until it is scientifically proven to be safe long term,  regardless of the short term social or financial benefits its premature  release may seem to indicate Mistakes have been made in the past they must not be repeated..

I have to agree with the previous poster that GMO's are mostly about making the general population slaves to the owners of copyrighted seeds as completely as they are already becoming used to being debt slaves. All of these practices of making all people dependant for their means of survival to a specific company set is nothing more than the NWO's idea for the future, so you can expect them to try and privatize water as well in the future.

The tide will break and very soon, time for the global corporations to be washed away.
Fact; already more than enough food , just need to make it available is all. GMO = profiteers of global control.
