GMOs undergo far more extensive testing than any other type of new crop introduced. The people who don't like GMOs do so b/c they don't like industrial agriculture. GMOs are just the weakest link in industrial Ag to attack.
- tcdent 13y agoIs it really necessary to lab test wild (though bred over many years) varieties? It's natural; it worked before we touched it. The biggest risk GMO has is over-confidence in human science.
- Blahah 13y agoIt's not really necessary to test any food, but because people are scared of GMOs, we do. Being natural does not imply safety or health.
- tcdent 13y ago> Being natural does not imply safety or health. Definitely agree with you there. I was speaking to the "tried and true" or "test of time" aspect of traditional crops.
- Houshalter 13y agoThere are small amounts of toxins in every plant. Not enough to cause any real problems, but I doubt you could get them approved if you were to artificially create the exact same thing.
