1480, What's wrong with GM foods is...
Posted by CaptainRook, Sat May-08-04 06:32 AM
that they are not Godly. God created fruits, vegetables and other life forms with their own genetic structure. So-called scientists come along, and through their arrogance, declare that they can develop something better than God. This is foolish thinking. There is nothing wrong with the original genetic structure of fruits and vegetables and it does not need to be altered or modified.

The original genetic structure of food is compatible with the necessities of life (i.e., humans, animals, insects, etc.) on the planet. GM food is not compatible with the necessities of life.

GM food doesn't have a normal spoilage cycle. Food is supposed to spoil. It has a lifespan like everything else and that's just how it is. Who knows what kind of short or long-term effects are likely when one eats food that doesn't break down normally in the digestive system after being consumed?

The dangerous part in this is that most people eat a GM tomato (or any other GM food) and they think that they're eating a tomato. They don't know that it's a genetic hybrid, that includes the DNA of a fly and/or a fish or whatever else that has been put into the mix, and in reality it's not really a tomato.

With junk foods, (candybars, potato chips, now-a-laters, etc), one eats this stuff and knows that they are eating "junk food", i.e., food that is not natural and healthy. But when people consume these GM foods, they think that are eating natural, healthy food that was constructed by God, not knowing that it was constructed by a Frankstein-ish system of science. And like Frankenstein, this new technological invention will turn back on us and eventually destroy us.


>nobody is denying there are risks.

This is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Not only are there risks, but GM's are dangerous!!!

But with careful
>development these risks can be minimalized and the benefits
>will be great.

What benefits? Who will benefit? And at costs will someone benefit?

I think it is pretty ironic that hippies who
>supposedly want "progression" cry foul when science is
>trying to make food healthier for people and more profitable
>for business.

Fist of all, I'm no damn hippie. What do you consider "progression"? God set shit up a certain way for a reason, and somethings aren't meant to be fucked with. The Genetic structure of food is one of those things. Cross-breeding the DNA of other species and life forms for food consumption is not natural and it is dangerous.

This type of food can not be "healthier" than what God has naturally created. About the only thing that you got right is that GM's will be "more profitable for busisness"; but just because it makes a lot of money, doesn't mean it should be done. I mean, unless your God is $$GREEN$$.
