Most of the so called "studies" that show all the "harmful" effects tend to be junk science and speculation, like Hubers report in the OP.
Reality is most people and most animals in the country have been eating these foods for many years and are still healthy.
Before GMO's they used even more dangerous pesticides and burned more fuel to produce the same amount of food.
Organic methods can no longer supply enough food
Take a look around this country, people are not healthy. More people than ever take medicine to stay alive and carry on even if the quality of life is poor. What is this notion that if it doesn't kill you overnight it can't be bad for you? Why does death even have to be the indicator as to anything being wrong? Birth defect rise doesn't count? Immune deficiency on the rise. So if it doesn't rot your stomach out this year then it must be something else? Not every thing that is bad for humans causes death. Why do many country's on the planet refuse to use GMO's except the great ol' US of A?? Probably because what you said, junk science and speculation. Monsanto stands by their claim that there is no proven health risk from eating GMO's. For hundreds of years we couldn't prove that germs caused illness....
And the greatest concern, why would a company push so hard to keep companies from putting non-GMO on their labels? Any other product sold in this country can compare themselves to their competitor and lay it on the line and say how they do things differently than them but for some reason in our food we can't make that distinction? The choice should be there for anyone that wants it.
As for organic methods no longer supplying enough food, that should be our greatest concern of all. We have outgrown our planets ability to naturally sustain our life, even with all the advancements in agriculture. There are way too many people, what happens when our chemicals and pesticides fail us? Even if they only fail for 1 year, how many people will have to die before we wake up. But that is a kind of accountability us Americans and many others around the world don't want to deal with.....what only 2 kids, and no giant gas hogging vehicles or 15,000 sq. ft homes for 2 people (of which I have built many in my time as a carpenter), that is insane. We can't see past the end of our noses for the greater good, just what we want is all that matters. America has 5% of the earths population but we consume 30% of the worlds goods, what will we do when they grow up and want their goods back?
I'm still going to postulate that new methods in medicine allow the weak to survive- also better techniques of diagnosis- a couple hundred years ago very few people lived long enough to get cancer, a premature baby born was considered still-born if it had not taken its first meal before death... alot has changed, much of this before GMO's were introduced...
And lest not even get started on the lying Dr. and Autism... or how everybody these days gets a label- (ADD, ADHD, Asp, ASD, OHI, TBI, LD, SLD, BP, BPD, DSI etc etc) or anybody that isn't perfectly average and perfectly 'behaved' (by their definition of behave- IE "don't question anyone above you ever", "think inside the box" and practice saying "baa baa").
Not sure if there ARE more 'sick people' or just more 'whinny people', or just 'more people'...
