  Evidence based folks: what is your stance on GMO's and why?

  so, the anti-gmo movement scored another victory today.

  chipotle has opted to only use non-gmo food items.. hooray for them.

  i'm pretty neutral on the subject, mostly because, other than questionable treatment of farmers, i have seen no evidence to avoid gmo's for health reasons.. basically, my neutrality boils down to the stance that i'll buy non-gmo, so long as the price is reasonable.

  Since there is no evidence that GMO's are harmful, labeling should be the other way around.

  It's more logical for a company that wants to appeal to consumers like 20years_to_get_free to label their products non-GMO than to force all food that has GMO's to have the label.

  You don't see Celiac's folks demanding that foods be labeled to indicate they contain Gluten. No, they go to the store and buy foods that they either already know are gluten free, or they are labeled Gluten Free.

  And there is hard evidence that people that suffer from gluten sensitivity and Celiac's disease are adversely effected by Gluten.

  No such similar evidence exists on the adverse effects of GMOs.

  That's why it's far more reasonable for foods that are nonGMO to label themselves as such.

  So, back to the question, what is your stance on GMO's and why is that your stance, and what evidence to you have to back up that stance?

  Is this not Sanderson, the one that has in his wardrobe also the philippine see-through Barong? but don't worry about the cute wardrobe, it is the ugly skeleton in the closet.

  LOL yes. You're right, it's Sanderson. I get those two mixed up all the time.

  "Your good example is much needed for the young ones the congregation."

  hey guys n gals, sorry its been such a long time since i've posted.

  lately i've been very busy balancing between my school work and cult activities.

  since i've been doing pretty well "spiritually"(enough field-circus hours, attending meetings, underlining my literatrash, reading, praying and serving as the mic-master) my coordinator grabbed me to the side after a meeting and talked to me for twenty minutes straight congratulating me about how good i am doing.. then he paused for a good five seconds and got all serious.. then he proceeded to tell me that the young ones in the hall aren't doing too well.

  What a coward!

  Says the keyboard warrior hiding behind an anonymous username.

  So he is doing all that so his momma doesn't throw him out on the street with nothing but $142 in his pocket?

  Have you ever heard of empathy?

  And you all think he is so amazing!??

  Apparently the elders do too.

  He should grow some balls and be true to himself!

  Being true to oneself takes time. If it is a simple matter, an overnight kind of thing, for someone to be true to oneself, that must mean there's not much to that vacuous personality. They likely have certain traits such as calling random people on the Internet cowards and telling them to grow some balls.

  (Obviously his momma won't throw him out if he is still at school).

  It has happened before.

  He is just an attention seeking idiot who needs to grow up.

  I'll let the irony of that statement sink in. You have just written a post calling someone you don't know a coward, calling his manhood into question, etc. Who is the attention seeking idiot who needs to grow up again?

  In my opinion, Rand Paul is the least scary of the Republican Candidates.

  No one wants another Bush.

  Cruz, although I like his against-the-grain style, is a loon and should be nowhere near the button.

  Rubio, I'm on the fence about.

  Christi....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....as if.

  Who else is there?

  (A little context: I have always considered myself a non-interventionist fiscal conservative libertarian.)

  Looks like a pretty good story. Although the lead actress seemed a tad over the top. Just my 2 cents.

  Your appearance in the trailer was excellent, though.
