Frankenfood

I'm learning about biotechnology and GMOs in school. Honestly, geniuses can be so stupid. These scientists say that GE crops can solve world hunger by making the crops hardier (which is dumb, because it's not like they're going to give the food away for free! it's not lack of food that's causing world hunger, it's lack of distribution). Hang on, let me get my theory blaster . . .

  1. GMO food is safe because they haven't figured out if it's harmful or not yet. (I'm sorry, but innocent until proven guilty shouldn't apply to something you are PUTTING IN YOUR BODY.)
  2. GMO food is good because it can be made to be resistant to poisons so that you can kill the weeds and not the food. (Okay, so, let's say we dump a vat of peanut oil on a group of people, some of which are not allergic to peanuts, some of which are. The ones who are allergic die, so only the ones that are not allergic are left. Then a big dumb dinosaur comes and picks up the oil-covered-non-allergic people and eats them. GUESS WHAT, he's allergic to peanuts! He DIES. In other words, making grain resistant to poison doesn't make the person who's eating the poison-covered grain resistant to the poison!)
  3. GMO food still has the same amount of nutrients (or more) as non-GMO food. (But, here's a question. Can your body digest the altered food? Did you know that your body automatically rejects anything it can't recognize? Did you know that your body REJECTS processed and GMO foods? All those precious nutrients in the toilet. Literally. That's why we need vitamin tablets now! It's like how spinach is rich in iron and so many doctors tell you to eat more of it if you need more iron, but, GUESS WHAT, the iron is encapsulated in calcium! You can't get iron from spinach, you get calcium! And, you know how milk is supposed to be rich in calcium? Guess what, you're body does not digest animal protein, it encapsulates it in calcium and passes it on. And there's more protein than calcium in milk! Your body uses the calcium from the milk to encapsulated the protein, and then LEECHES CALCIUM FROM YOUR BONES to encapsulate the rest! Just because there's a lot of some nutrient in a food doesn't mean your body can access it!)
BOOM, BANG, BOP. Three theories down. Let's go, who's next?
