Do you think GMO in food is bad? Do you think that GMO must be labeled?

If yes or no, so please explain about why GMO is bad or good.

Discuss.
 
I did read about a study with mice and huge tumor formation from the GMO food.

I don't really remember where so I don't have a source.
 
Messing with Nature is always bad and will led to disaster. This is what GMO is all about. Nature controls all aspects of live on earth. When mankind even thinks it can produce something better, that plan is sure to fail.
 
I think GMO should be labeled so I want to know if any foods are genetically modified.
 
As long as it cost less money, more crop yield to feed em masses. I see it no different than bottled water with BPA in it. Its good and bad.
 
There are people in very poor countries who want it, just so they can feed themselves. Because the non-GMO stuff is apparently not capable of producing enough, or it is too expensive to keep weed-free.

Years ago, they used to blast crop plants with radiation to produce genetic mutations. Most of these mutations were not useful, but some were. This was one way they used to create crop strains that produced more, was more resistant to disease, etc. Another way was cross-fertilization.

GM is faster, because they can select a specific gene trait they want, and immediately put it in a plant's genetic structure, instead of waiting for cross-fertilization or mutations to produce that trait.

Is it "safer"? I don't know. I do know there's nothing new about genetically manipulated plants, only the technique.

LiveLeak.com - GMO Corn Causes Tumors In Mice


I found this link , and there are more to back you back up.

The link I found said weed killer cause the mice to get sick too.
I can't believe how many people have their lawns sprayed with a toxic weed killer and spray to make their grass 'greener.... We did not use this crap when where growing up and people lawns where just fine . The only ones really seeing more 'green' are the companies that are selling this toxic crap.
