Just like alcohol

Pharmaceuticals = treat medical conditions and improve life
vaccinations = prevent death and disease
fast food = ok I'll give you that one.

Otherwise sell your stuff and go live in a cave eating whatever you can hunt and gather as you obviously disapprove of progress. I seriously doubt you yourself are not benefiting from any of the things you just mentioned. For example anyone who doesn't vaccinate their children puts them at risk of severe preventable health problems or even death, easy to condemn it when it's not your child dying needlessly or suffering permanent disability.

The potential dangers from GM foods have nothing to do with consuming it, there is no harm to us from doing so. GM may alter the balance of nutrients and the growth rate of the crop but it doesn't add anything we don't already consume naturally. The risk is in contamination of natural strains of crops causing permanent alterations to the crop base and in a worse case making them non viable. We need the un altered stock as a starting point. The only way to stop using GM foods now is to reduce the worlds population so if you think it's ok to ask whole countries to starve you get right on that.

1414287 2016-01-19 01:51:00 poison our population with genetically altered food, pharmaceuticals, vaccinations, and fast food that should be classified as a dangerous, addictive drug.

LOL, you ever seen wild corn? Or peas before they were genetically modified - the old fashioned way?
Humans have been modifying food for 1000's of years.

As for medicine, you prefer to die of smallpox, syphilis, bacterial infections etc they way we all were before the 1900's? Go ahead, it will clean out the gene pool.

And fast food.
Lets take burgers - a meat patty, a bread bun, sauce and some other bits like cheese, pickles, lettuce etc.
Really? Because it comes from a commercial entity it's bad?

Don't be stupid, stuffing yourself with too much food - regardless of it's origins or what it is, is what makes people fat.

1414288 2016-01-19 03:17:00 you're all so smug thinking you know it all. nutrition really does matter because its effects on human physiology are that pronounced.

if we all had gardens instead of lawns there would be no poverty.

Nutrition isn't all that important. You sound just like my doctor. I have eaten anything I want for most of my life. Apart from the fact that I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, had 2 strokes, 3 heart attacks, arthritic hips feet and fingers, I consider myself as healthy as the next bloke.
