I loved how the one proponent of GMOs kept talking about how the scientific community was all in favor of GMOs. Meanwhile, Dr. Oz (a member of the scientific community) had tons of questions about GMOs and how safe they are.
There are many in the scientific community who are comfortable with GMOs, there is no doubt about that. I'm just saying not to be fooled by the biotech community's smoke screens. They would LOVE for people to believe that opponents of GMOs aren't basing their opposition on science and this is not true! The scientists that are comfortable are just one group of scientists. There are also many scientists who came across adverse side effects of GMOs and therefore don't believe that they are safe; and all the rest just have tons of questions about GMO safety. The problem is, I'm not hearing any science based answers to the big question which is "Are GMOs safe?" I heard excuses and explanations that seem logical, but what about the clinical studies that show that GMOs are safe? The individuals who gave science based answers were the opponents of GMOs. The one proponent gave many logical answers and excuses and she even cleverly dodged a question. Both opponents gave actual side effects of GMOs that were all based on clinical studies (aka good solid science).
If GMOs are truly safe, why not get more scientists to test it? Why just give flimsy political excuses, for example, implying that labeling GMOs isn't in the best interest of the consumer?
