American Public Decides Scientists are Idiots Regarding GMO Foods
Over the past half-decade, there has been a growing debate regarding the quality and safety of GMO foods. There has been debate back and forth even within the scientific community regarding the use of GMO capabilities in produce. But more and more, scientists have become increasingly in favor of its use. The American public, however, seems to be turning on the lab-coated professionals.âThese fancy doctors come in with their degrees and charts and try to tell me what is good and not good to eat. Quite frankly itâs insulting,â said Wyatt Stanfield, a local advocate against GMO production. âIf I donât want to eat a mutant corn, than damnit, I shouldnât have to eat a mutant corn. Itâs my stomach, for crying out loud!âIn a recent study, 71 percent of scientists and doctors agreed that with proper regulation and caps on experimentation, GMO foods were wholly safe. In the same study, only 31 percent of âcommon citizensâ agreed. Another 51 percent felt that GMOs posed a legitimate threat to the health of individuals that ate them regularly.âWe all know what food is safe,â says Stanfield. âFood made by God and grown from the earth. That is what weâre intended to eat. Anything made by labs is sure to cause us trouble. I donât know why they think they can play God with our food. We know itâs going to give us cancer, or mutate our genes or make us sterile. But they keep pretending itâs fine. They keep saying âDonât worry, they canât hurt you.ââSays Dr. Daniel Roberts MD of the GMO foods, âDonât worry, they canât hurt you. GMO food has already been in use for some time, and Iâm still not entirely sure why people are against it,â said Roberts. He continued by pointing to a banana left on a table nearby. âThis fruit is a clone of a single banana that has been recreated over and over over decades. Have you ever seen a real banana? They are short, green, and have giantÂ seeds. These things we have now arenât even close to a real banana. Theyâre genetically modified, and Iâm pretty sure it hasnât killed anyone not allergic to it.âWhen asked about the banana, Stanfield stood defiantly. âThat banana was made by God, and no liberal elitist agenda is going to trick me into believing otherwise.â
