Can someone just tell me if I eat GMOs how much will my lifespan shorten? If it is only a couple of years I'm good with that. Seems like a lot of work to seek out non GMOs at my standard grocery store.

That doesn't answer my question. I live on the east coast and will still be eating GMOs when that happens.

What numbers?

Don't they label the additives (colour, flavour, preservative, etc.) with 3 or 4 digit numerical codes over there?

I could be wrong, but I think here they just have to list the name of it.

So for the colours, do they actually state things like "Red colour from squashed bugs", etc?

I'm too lazy to know what red #2 is made of, but people should be able to look that up online if they want to know. That being said, are these dyes GMOs?

Who gives a fuck if someone turned on a gene in a tomato that makes it red and tasteless for the grocery store, or one that makes corn more drought tolerant? But if it's got pesticide? What if we boost the sugar content in carrots? Then people are trying to lose weight, they eat a shit ton of carrots, cuz "hey, these carrots taste great and they're totally vegetables!" Then they gain weight. Fuck!

B, you understand that sugar content is clearly stated on the nutrition facts label on all food, including carrots, right?
