The discussion highlights the dangers of anti-GMO sentiment, arguing that it poses a significant threat to scientific progress and food security, especially as the global population grows. Participants emphasize that misinformation surrounding GMOs can lead to real-world consequences, such as food aid refusals during famines. The FDA's stance on the safety of genetically engineered foods is presented, asserting that they meet the same safety standards as traditionally bred foods. Concerns are raised about the influence of anti-GMO activists on scientific discourse, including intimidation of researchers. Ultimately, the conversation underscores the need for evidence-based discussions on GMOs to counteract the prevailing anti-science narrative.

The fact is that humans have been changing vegetables for thousands of years. Our ancestors did not have carrots, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, broccoli, and on and on. These were not naturally selected, so by the new standards are not acceptable. Virtually every food we eat would need to be labeled. It's ridiculous.
