I don't know, I seem to recall reading a few articles thru the years about how our manipulating some things was causeing cancer and such. And crop manipulation aside, I would think it would be hard to argue that the things we spray on them and hormones we feed cattle and stuff isn't causeing some of that stuff.....
Some crop chemicals were outlawed over the years, specifically because of that. I don't pretend to be an expert on this one...but I'm with Laurie, seems to me there is more than enough evidense of those things at least. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Harder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "The Sandbox Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 7:15 AM Subject: Re: [Sndbox] Maybe this will start something for Tim > > That is because you have been brainwashed by the Quacks. > > > > On Wednesday, September 24, 2003, at 12:38 AM, Greg Hopper wrote: > > > I tend to agree.... > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Laurie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "The Sandbox Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2003 5:47 PM > > Subject: Re: [Sndbox] Maybe this will start something for Tim > > > > > >> I don't know..I think all the things we feed to our > >> livestock to make the meat leaner and more > >> tender...and to make our crops grow prettier and less > >> buggy...all leads us to having cancer later on... > >> > >> Laurie > >> --- Tim Harder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>> > >>> > >>> I personally don't think that genetically modified > >>> food poses a danger > >>> to humans. > >>> There is absolutely *NO* evidence that it does.
