Then how can you explain that life expectancies continue to rise?
Our knowledge of what is harmful is increasing at the same rate
as what grows better crops...  DDT is a thing of the past... my dad
sprayed DDT all day long and is 70 years old...  The Quacks want
you to think that anything chemical is bad, when in fact chemicals
have inhanced everyones lives....

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.

That is because you have been brainwashed by the Quacks.

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...

I personally don't think that genetically modified
food  poses a danger
to humans.
There is absolutely *NO* evidence that it does.  One
of the main crops
that have
been totally transformed for the good are soybeans.
They now have
soybeans
that you can plant (drill) right into the ground and
then be sprayed
for weeds
*after* they have come up.  The soybeans are immune
to the spray that
kills all
other vegetation.  This means that the farmer has
way less tilling to
do to the
field which saves money, fuel, and erosion, which is
good for the
environment.
The fact that Greenpeace is behind this scare tactic
should tell you
something.
People have been manipulating the genetics of crops
for centuries....
They
are just getting really good at it now with the
advent of cellular
biology.
As far as "do countries have the right to keep these
crops from their
shelves"
without violating the WTO....  I have no idear.
That is a different
kettle of fish.
