43. Why? Because corporations are occultly shoving the GMO crap down our throats
Sat Apr 27, 2013, 01:32 PM
Apr 2013

I would like to know what is in food so I can decide whether I want to eat it. But the GMO corporations have made that impossible, and they have polluted the knowledge base with their bought-and-sold CRAP 'science.' Thus, it makes sense to me to consider the science that raises questions about GMO food, since it just has not been proven safe over any long-term.

When it doubt, I choose the Precautionary Principle, not CRAP corporate 'science' -- aka 'Poo' (just as crap metaphysics is deemed 'Woo' by Scientific Materialists.

It's my body. I have right to know what is in my food. GMO goes totally OCCULT to thwart everyone's freedom to know and freedom to choose. It's freaking plug-ugly TOTALITARIAN (R).

Ordinarily I'd guess that Roundup could be banned like DDT, but no_hypocrisy Apr 2013 #1
