    In a written submission to a panel of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, Mexico, the top buyer of U.S. corn, argued that science proves GM corn and the herbicide glyphosate are harmful to human health and its native varieties, and that its decree to ban GM corn for human consumption is within its right.

    TBF, we’re not picking on Mexico, we give it to our own people too. I like that they’re making them prove it’s safe as opposed to proving it’s harmful. That’s the way to go about it.

      Yes and i would not trust any food related claim from the US without data backing up it.

        I live here and eat the food. And I 10000% agree with this statement. Do not trust the USAs word.

        There’s a reason why Europe has tons of banned foods that the US doesn’t, we care about profits and the share holders above the health of our people (especially the poor).

          The poor should just invest their money so they can afford higher quality food, duh.

        The GM hysteria is stupid though.

        Is it though? We don’t know about things we haven’t tested for because humans are different than livestock and rats. Time will tell, but most of us will be dead before we know for sure. We’re messing with nature with no idea of the repercussions that we may already be experiencing.

            Inform me, I took it from the UK healthcare talking about them testing it.

                This whole “we’re messing with nature with no idea of the repercussions” in regards to gene editing is just uneducated esoteric nonsense.

                How close are we to monkeys, apes, etc.? Can you see the future and how is the climate going? We don’t know if taking away one thing will affect another down the road. Will every gene edit cause harm? Probably not, but we don’t know which ones or how many. Have a great life selling cigarettes.

                    I’m not a science denier, nice buzzword though. Science isn’t a thing btw, it’s a process. The process of science hasn’t worked out how us fucking with nature will turn out.

      Where’s this science that genetically modified food causes harm? All I can find looking for anything that says something other than that GM food affects you the same as non-GM food is linking back to this article. And I mean, if you want to get technical, pretty much all plants we consume in the modern age were genetically modified through selective breeding.
