"The authors of the current study demonstrate one key advantage of
using GM traits – increased yield which results in lower land use for
agriculture. They also point out that banning GMO will result in higher
food prices, of $14-$24 billion per year in the US alone. Higher food
prices disproportionately affect those with lower income.
"Those who oppose GMOs do not have a solid scientific argument to
make. That are essentially ideologues. They are also attempting to “ban”
GMOs through the backdoor, primarily through mandatory labeling."
Why belief without evidence is harmful, no matter the topic.
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
