Are GMO's actually bad?

[The_Tired_Philosopher]

Absolutely!  GMO's done with some level of oversight and concern for longterm effects could actually be used to make food healthier and longer lasting and, nigh, as nutritious as plausible.

GMO's would be an incredible creation!  If they weren't used to:
1. Splice Genetic strands of DNA in ways that create cascading collapses of cellular integrity when used as sustenance by another cell.
2. Cultivate the extreme uses of heavy carcinogenic substances as pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to the point the food itself absorbs these chemicals and become toxic partially too.
3. Parasitically effect all organic foods 'contaminating' them by swapping DNA, causing non-GMO crops to become GMO crops.
4. Use specific DNA sequences to terminate reproductive capabilities, producing infertile foods that can't be used to further grow more food (terminator gene, it's why my damn avocados which aren't organic NEVER GROW when I plant the seeds!)
5. Though not directly attached, but indirectly, the current manner of farming leeches the soil of nutrients, since most organic crops need to be typically swapped over time (not that they all do it, because to save money...) it more quickly takes away viable land to grow upon (literally kills the land by leeching it of all nutrients over time.)

That's five right off the top of my head.

GMO's would be good if they were put to an ethical use and the technology used for more proper reasons, not to produce infertile plants and make a profit while slowly making sick everyone who eats them.  You don't notice it the first three decades, but now the effects are showing and will continue to do so as more people continue eating this food.

GMO's, like Vaccines, would be world altering technologies for good, that could make life sequentially easier in time as the foods are bettered into 'superior' or perhaps unnatural but 'boosted' forms 'naturally' (Genetically modifying them in ways that aren't butchering DNA), and in time even end all form of sickness beyond allergies to certain things, if not those too with proper advancements in the vaccine technology field.

But instead these technologies are used in the most brash coarse way one could socially figure.

But ultimately, the perceptions depends on what areas you look into.  Health wise, it's nothing to be concerned about in the short term, it is perfectly safe immediately speaking, as the body can detox all the chemical sprays and repair all the broken cascaded ruptured cells that used those portions of sustenance to feed from.

It's like running an engine with thick motor oil, it runs heavier but it's essentially unnoticable.  But don't expect to make it to 500k miles.  After 250k you'll start breaking down because your engine has been working so much harder the entire time, and the gradual change in feeling from natural healthy oils to thick heavy oils was unnoticable (no one likes to notice feeling crappier constantly).

Or you can just look at a cellular level.  Cancer.

Or you can look at some of the non-debunked studies of GMO foods in animals, typically, Cancer.  Sometimes, odd internal physiological changes that are unnatural and further damaging over time if not healed.  OR!

OOORRR

You can not look at any scientific studies as they're all convoluted by poor mainstream science malpractices and disinformation malpractices (yay money and greed) to push the scientifically dubious mainstream follower to a special agenda.

Or that's a conspiracy.

Because the company that made chemical weapons also now makes my food.

Nothing to see here my friend, it's a useful and powerful technology put to a different kind of use.

Kind of like how the useful and powerful system of money can be used to feed every person on earth, it's just put to a different kind of use.
