What about GMO-skeptics that belong to the scientific community?
- TillE 10y agoAmericans literally, honestly, do not know that they exist. Which is a fantastic achievement by Monsanto, tbh. People who care should really look into why GMOs are banned in the EU.
- sambe 10y agoThey aren't banned in the EU. Do you have a link to any individual nation state bans being based on scientific evidence rather than public/media outrage? Because the EFSA has been against the bans.
- cholantesh 10y agoBecause of political pressure. Trade bans aren't issued by scientists. They don't have that power.
- alevskaya 10y agoHence the word 'consensus'. There are plenty of scientists that don't believe in climate change. Most of them don't work on climate data. I've met vanishingly few biologists that think GMOs pose a health risk to humans.
