Reikin's Barrier (2) protects him!

Most people that are allergic to peanuts know better than to buy and eat them. I don't think the FDA is responsible for preventing people from being stupidity. What's next, suing McDonalds for releasing foods that can potentially make people fat when eaten in excess? Oh, whoops, that already happened on the same train of thought.

Peanuts are approved for human consumption because for a vast majority of people they are edible. Those that can't eat them usually are smart enough not to.

Asyluman: So do I have to recalculate everything again? Seeing what you're saying on AIM...

Regulus: Ditto there. Although, this topic is on GMO foods, not peanuts. Actually I should be saying that to Asy.

I'm telling you the fda is only responsible for approval and regulation of foods that are labeled as safe, but anything that isnt passed by them is not really a good idea to eat unless you like to eat, but for people suing mcdonalds, its their fault for eating foods that could turn you fat in the first place. No offense to anyone that suffered from the Mcdonald's epidemic, but come on you really should of used your common sense when you got fat eating massive amounts of Mcdonald's for breakfast lunch and dinner.

i guess there should be a small disclaimer on foods that are genetically modified. people do have a right to know the nature of what they are eating.

however, the problem i see with this, is that the "dangers" of genetically modified foods are overhyped. the difference between genetically modified corn and regular corn? the genetically modified one is probably more resistant to bugs and/or disease, and the regular corn is probably even worse, with tons of agrochemicals sprayed on it to give it the same protection that would be afforded by tweaking its genes.

this surely is a dilemma; while people should be able to see that the product they're buying is genetically modified or not, there is a very widespread misconception about genetic modification (that it makes food dangerous and whatnot), and thus the slightest sign of gene-modification in a food product would prompt people to avoid it like the plague. not good for the economy (or the environment; farmers would revert to heavy agrochemical use on non-GMO crops). so on one side, personal liberties, and on the other, practicality.

don't fear! i have a solution to this mess!
since we have to put labels on the GMO foods, but these labels would drive away customers because of misconceptions about GMO foods, the obvious answer is that we have to get rid of misconceptions. now, if we think about it, these misconceptions are commonly held by those who rarely stop and use their common sense or consult scientific facts - these people are, simply said, stupid.

the solution is then to impose an intelligence assessment test upon everyone who comes of age. those who fail it will be processed into fertilizer, to nourish the very GMO crops that they would have grown up to malign.

note that this solution actually solves many other problems of the world. come to think of it, it solves pretty darn near every problem in the world.

But if we were to grind all the stupid people up, who would do the crappy, but needed, jobs? Like sewage worker, bin man and other jobs that don't require any qualifications?

I suppose that if robotics were advanced enough, they could solve that problem.

[Kaezion]

the remaining smart people would figure something out. keep in mind, also, that people of average intelligence aren't ground up. only people below average have the honor of serving the same purpose as horse manure. thus, with this plan, we still have people for unskilled labor.

[NobleHigh]

I can see the point of labeling but I don't see it as top priority I meen they have plenty of health food stores go there if your that worried about it As Americans we take risks so get Risky Life is way to short to watch what I eat
