GMOs

It’s hard to listen to scientifically illiterate people claim that GMOs are harmful to human health.

As suggested here, human beings have been “genetically modifying” our food sources for quite a while.  The plant at the right was what Central Americans were cultivating at the dawn of human civilization 9000 years ago.  All we’re doing today is making these changes happen more rapidly and accurately, as genetic material is manipulated in a laboratory, rather than out in a field.

Unmodified apples were the size of ping pong balls and tart, like radishes.
