Nothing we eat is fucking natural.Most crops/livestock are in some way cultivated/breed to have properties that are critical to their use in food production.Ever eaten a wild natural potato? The stuff is toxic and might kill you. Un cultivated Bannanas are disgusting and look like a spider laid its eggs into play-dough. Corn/maize is pretty much inedible.If you want to go out and eat an all natural diet good luck, you will probably die because half the shit we eat, were not edibable before we came along.
Everything will kill you. U stay in the sun too long it can kill you. You stay in the water too long it can kill you in inhale pure oxygen it can kill you.

It's not about eating natural, it's about not eating poison. There's nothing wrong with genetically modifying organisms, there's everything wrong with the additives that Monsanto puts into theirs.But I guess that doesn't help your strawman argument, huh?

They aren't. The argument is that they aren't inherently evil just because "they're not natural ", as some people think.
