Apologies in advance for the spam. This is an automated comment to reduce the voting power of @fulltimegeek, a flat earth retard who is flagging reputable users like @themadcurator, @themarkymark and myself because he's a whiny little bitch who is throwing a hissy fit.

Please support these users and follow @themadcurator and @themarkymark.

Thank you for your attention.

Steam engines should be banned because they poison the air. Axes should be prohibed because you can smash skulls with them. Atomic energy...

I voted, It's complicated because, several reasons.

A lot of veggies and fruit we enjoy today are already genetically modified and always have been since large scale, commercial farming. Corn, Avocadoes, Watermelon and all of the others look nothing like the fruits that occur in nature. We are fine eating those, right?
Depends on the modification. If the modification creates a larger yield that is just as nutritious and consumes less resources to produce, then I would be fine with it. If the modification deprives the final product of absorbable nutrients or cause bad side effects, then I would say no. Hard to tell when you can't trust the FDA as it is.
If there are no Monsanto chemicals sprayed onto it, I consider that a blessing. :)

We eat them yes but for example apples are normally was coated and kept for nearly a year before on the market is this really healthy for us? I agree with your point 2 but I am not sure of these effects on the environment also. Thanks a lot for your indepth comment.

Voted for No because....

We humans genetically modify plants for already some time now. Plant genes were also crossed earlier, not only today. But I don't like pesticide resistant plants which have been modified only for that reason.

As long as it is tested enough, open source and free for everyone, I'm for genetic modification. Which currently is not the case. =(
