Recently, there have been many tweets regarding GMO's. I would like to offer an opportunity for both sides to post their arguments with scientific support. This is intended to be a civil discussion.
Fact 1: The world population is growing.
Fact 2: Production farm land is disappearing urban sprawl, development and environmental buffers.
Fact 3: We have a social responsibility to feed people.
Fact 4: GMO plants and livestock provide the opportunity to grow more on less acres, using less herbicides and insecticides and having longer shelf life.
Question: What is your strongest argument PRO or CON regarding GMO's?
Directions:
1. Lead your post with either "PRO GMO" of "CON GMO.
2. State your argument.
3. Post a link to your arguments SCIENTIFIC support.
4. You may also ask (polite) questions of the posters.
** ANY POST THAT DOES NOT HAVE SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT WILL BE DELETED. **
** ANY POST THAT IS A PERSONAL ATTACK ON ANOTHER POSTER WILL BE DELETED. **
