Recently there have been a raise of shields with organizations coming forwards and demanding the adoption of laws to make it illegal for food manufacturers to modify their crops genetically, and make them more nutritious, giving a higher yield, being more suited for climates where normally nobody would think of growing them, or simply resilient to pests and parasites.
GMOs however, if used properly, will contribute to eventually feeding the planet, even in third world countries. That is of course if someone can persuade big corporations to allow third world countries to grow their own crops of genetically copyrighted produce.
As far as experts are concerned, including Cookie, GMOs have little or no impact on our health, that their non-GMO counterparts don’t. If Larry eats enough normal non-GMO grapes, to the point that they give Larry swamp-ass, then it’s fairly likely, that eating the same quantity of genetically modified grapes will have the same result. It shouldn’t take a prophet to see that one coming.
Having said that, what you should really worry about are superbugs.
No, not Superbugs like The Tick, but scarier superbugs like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) which is resistant to traditional antibiotics. You should worry about the lobbying that large corporations are allowed to perform on the FDA, which is really a legal or monetary version of cunnilingus, and where corporations offer grants, and other assets to the FDA voters, in order to “facilitate” the use of anti-biotics in cattle and other crops, and that in turn causes the existence and proliferation of these superbugs.
That legal and corporate fellatio is what should rapidly become the number one worry on our lists because after all, whatever the FDA says is good for us, should reflect reality, and not someone’s wallet or country house.
