re: 49% of Americans now believe GMO food is bad for you, up from 39% in 2016

The more the GMO’s enter our food stream, the fatter and sicker the population seems.
It makes me uneasy to wonder if we are seeing that as the results of this GMO food experiment.

I’m actually more surprised that 51% of Americans aren’t as dumb as I thought they were.

Unfortunately a large part of that 51% probably doesn't even have GMO's on their radar enough to be misinformed about them.

You fricking moron
The national academies said nothing was wrong with it
The leftist advocacy group said there is
Congrats you are the gullible public
Love when lefty zingers go wrong

And, sadly, their vote counts just as much as your vote.

Europeans are far more opposed to GMO foods than Americans are.

It probably has more to do with processed foods than GMOs

That has more to do with the increasingly sedentary nature of our society, massive portion size, and the choice to eat things that taste good vs what is healthy (most go with the former).
All evidence points to the above, while none points at GMO foods. Baseless speculation and fear mongering are the point of the OP.

Same pussies that are scared of GMOs are the same ones scared of Monsanto.

Did you know that 49.9% of the population is below average?

do extensive research on GMOs as part of my job and I’m of the opinion they are beneficial with no ill effects. But naive consumers who are anti-GMO present a great market opportunity.
Most people don’t realize that crops are genetically engineered primarily to be pesticide resistant. They think it’s to make them bigger.
My husband is a rice farmer and as far as I understand, GMO rice helps with pesticide resistance but also with yields. Better yields =feeding more people and sometimes more income depending on commodity prices.
If it says non - gmo or gluten free, it sells. Simple. And crazy.

Killing all bacteria on the food may increase yield and decrease spoilage rates but I also believe it wreaks havoc on our digestive systems.
You have any facts on this or just a “feeling” you have?

Lol half the country votes for socialist retards, is this a shock?

I think there’s a legitimate question about lack of biodiversity in our crops, for sustainability reasons. But it’s an issue that’s existed since long before gene splicing became feasible. See: cavendish bananas.
Still, since bananas are clones I think they might be an analogue for what could happen with large-scale genetic manipulation of crops. The concern there is not food safety, but susceptibility of the world’s food supply to an unknown future plague.
That said, I feel a hell of a lot better about our ability to recover from that unknown crop plague with gene splicing than I do without it.

From WebMD:

The bacteria live throughout your body, but the ones in your gut may have the biggest impact on your well-being. They line your entire digestive system. Most live in your intestines and colon. They affect everything from your metabolism to your mood to your immune system.
I also saw a documentary once about how certain proteins that are used in our neutral pathways are created by bacteria in our stomach but I don't remember the name of it.
This is from a scientific journal on neuroscience:
quote:
These findings have resulted in speculation that alterations in the gut microbiome may play a pathophysiological role in human brain diseases, including autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

Also it's logical to believe that disrupting the internal ecosystem of millions of years of symbiotic evolution would have a negative result.
