The following video is from a series called “Why It’s Bad For You” and it discusses genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It is a short and well-edited watch but please do read my list of observations that follow it!
.
It starts with the assertion that our access to information is filtered by ‘global media corporations’. This strikes me as odd since the only thing I ever hear about GMOs is that they are bad for you. You don’t see promotional pieces on the BBC about their benefits very often but I often read assurances that GMO products are not used, as though this is a significant thing. I am not being paid by the one world government to write this (but wish I was!) I am certainly not being paid by their big bad wolf – Monsanto. Science is in the public domain when research is published in journals so it is possible to make informed choices by reading the research. However, most of us are not equipped to do this so we have to rely on secondary sources. Whilst remaining sceptical, there is no harm in trusting people who have been trustworthy in the past.
Large numbers of people have campaigned against Monsanto (appeal to popularity) and accuse them of “spreading hazardous products”. There is no evidence that their GM products are hazardous
