        People's irrational fear of GMO food is the same fear that drives anti vaccine and anti science. When will people stop letting fear rule?

        GMO food is not just about yield, it is also about resistance to bugs and sicknesses. Without them we would lose many more crops.

        GMO isn't a miracle though. We can produce more food on less land - why shouldn't we? Land use is the single most detrimental thing we do

        As far as meat goes, people have to be convinced to eat less. that's a cultural issue more than anything else.

        We should embrace GMOs, not demonize them. Education is the key. Ignorance is the lock.

        GMO's have given us synthetic insulin. Without this drug, folks like me with type 1 diabetes would die. GMO's = good.

        Synthetic Insulin has more dangers than natural but the reason they do synthetic is so the drug companies can patent it and make money.
