I got classes in an hour. Gonna grab a double cheese on the way, taken as I haven't been to McDonald's in ages.

Wendy's's's's (extra 's cuz I didn't know when to stop) new cheeseburgers are really good.

I prefer to spend my money on food that has not been genetically manipulated or covered in pesticides / herbicides. I know directly where the vast majority of the food I consume comes from. I used to think it was all hype too until I noticed actual physiological and physical changes to myself. I'm not going to try and sway other people to make the same decision, though. Not my place.

Oh come on...you know you want to...

I don't really get the anti-GMO bit. Whether you eat certified organic or local or whatever, all of the food you eat has been genetically manipulated by thousands of years of selective breeding. Unless you are out there bagging a deer and picking wild blackberries for your meals or something. Anti-GMO seems like mostly a romantic bias toward a "simpler" past, like our new techniques for altering genes are much more complex and powerful, so they automatically become scary.

I can understand wanting fresh ingredients, though. It just tastes better.

Maybe I should clarify. While there are valid complaints against the agrimegacorporations and their practices, I do not see why some people object to GMO as such. GMO is not "evil," it is just like any other scientific technique: capable of being turned toward good or ill depending on the user.

I do not usually get the sense that people who are anti-GMO are that way as some kind of "protest" against Monsanto, but maybe I am misinformed.

Outside of the controversy with Monsanto, I'm not all that familiar with their arguments, either. The documentary talks about a strain of genetically modified corn that is/was "infesting" corn fields in Mexico. Apparently it acts like an invasive species and was interfering with the cultivation of other kinds of corn. I don't buy the argument that, because a product is genetically modified, that it's "bad" for human consumption. Something engineered to be an invasive species and maintain a market monopoly, enforced through the use of patent law, is a different story.

The major issue with it is lack of biodiversity and therefore, lack of sustainable agriculture.

vector A pretty much summed up my opinion. there is no reason to favour organic produce over GM, its the same shit.

LOL!! Yea, Most of the time.. But I really, really, really, enjoy their Black Angus Beacon Cheeseburger.. It's diarrhea free, probably because they cook the patties fresh to order.. They're a little more expensive @ $3.99 a sandwich but they're delicious.. The only thing left I order off their menu....
