They've had no opposition to GMO beans all along. I guess the anti GMO crowd will have to stop making that "China won't buy GMO corn" argument.
No, they can't but they can point out just how loving and caring they are of their people!
The Chinese only banned it to get back at us in the first place. Now that their economy is going down they need cheap food to keep the masses happy. They could care less if a few die as long as they don't fight the government.
The funny thing here is that you have changed no ones mind about this stuff.
I don't care one way or the other. I don't have a dog in this fight. My only problem with it is all the chemicals that can and are running off from this. We have a field near us with home on the west side of it, maybe 100 yds. The county tested their wells. They have been told not to drink their well water because the safe level of certain chemicals associated with herbicides and pesticides are over the safe levels for human consumption.
It's not the GMO's I don't trust. It's all the chemicals that are applied with those GMO crops. You can call names, rather childish, but you can do it. You can trust the chemicals and the FOR PROFIT companies selling them. With the past history of chemical companies, well I don't trust em at all.
I don't know one farmer using those chemicals and claiming they are safe who is A. a chemical engineer B. a doctor or C. a researcher. I know a bunch who are just that. Farmers looking to make a profit. That means they are greed driven too running for profit operation where the biggest profit is best.
As far as consuming GMO's I would like to see labeling because I'd like the be able to decide for myself what I'm eating. I'm not saying I wouldn't eat GMO products. I just think I have the RIGHT to know what I'm putting in my mouth.
