insalubre Fixation. A guerra contra os organismos xeneticamente modificados é cheo de fearmongering, erros, e fraude.

In an article published on 15 Xullo 2015, the author reviews the evidence of claims in relation to genetically modified organisms (OMG). Some quotes from the article:
“En primeiro, it’s true that the issue is complicated. But the deeper you dig, the more fraud you find in the case against GMOs. It’s full of errors, fallacies, misconceptions, misrepresentations, and lies”, Segundo, the central argument of the anti-GMO movement—that prudence and caution are reasons to avoid genetically engineered, or GE, food—is a sham. Activists who tell you to play it safe around GMOs take no such care in evaluating the alternatives.”…..”It makes no sense to avoid GMOs based on standards that nobody applies to non-GMO food”…..” Third, there are valid concerns about some aspects of GE agriculture, such as herbicides, monocultures, and patents. But none of these concerns is fundamentally about genetic engineering. Genetic engineering isn’t a thing. It’s a process that can be used in different ways to create different things.”….”GMOs didn’t invent monoculture, and banning them won’t make it go away. Farmers have been cultivating homogeneity for millennia”.
