I would just like to point out that with all the yapping about how GM foods are safe in this thread no one has been able to provide a link to a scientific study about the long term affects on humans when consumed.

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

And what do you propose happens to the hundreds of millions of cattle and hogs that are now being raised for slaughter? Turn them loose? Let them run wild?

Unbelievable!
"The question is whether or not it is worth it". Indeed it is!

No, I don't propose that. Don't put words in my mouth. It's in the hands of the consumer, but unfortunately, having a good-tasting, meaty meal every night is more important to some people than the humaneness or the environmental effects of the meat industry.

If people realized the full impact of the industry (and what a negative impact it has), then they wouldn't be buying so much meat, or at least they'd start buying free-range, organic meats.
City boy. Good grief.

You guys are out of your minds.
Great argument.

By the way, I'm not a city boy. More like a mountain boy.
I don't like your mountain boy come back, I see you more as a mountain RAM!

Hahahaha! Corny, but in good taste!

It's actually Baphoment (or the Goat of Mendez). But don't get confused, I'm not a Satanist, not even a nihilist really (not by the common definition anyway).

And vice versa. You've been yapping about how dangerous they are, but haven't provided a shred of evidence.

Oh yeah, and dying of disease is natural. Bad breath is natural. Bad vision is natural.

I guess if you really, really want to do everything the natural way, you should steer clear of domesticated products, refuse medicine, vaccinations, and antibioltics, and stop brushing your teeth. Scrap your glasses and/or contacts. Get rid of your air conditioning and heat while you're at it.

Natural does not necissarily mean healthy, optimal, or good.

You know a debate is over when it's reached the point of arguing over human imperfection.
