The "facts" you say? What facts. How about you prove to me that GMO products are safe for human consumption? The bottom line is that you can not prove it because the only real human study that has been done on humans was with tomatoes and it was a miserable failure that wreaked havoc on our immune system.

You want another reason why not to support it? How about the "fact" that this untested and unsafe crap is cross pollenating the organic fields of heirloom grain and produce here in the US.

Our food comes from long lines of Heirloom seeds that are in danger of disappearing forever, and if people blindly support this nonsense there may come a day when they finally have to admit this stuff is dangerous for human consumption but it's too late to turn back because we have to feed the masses, just like what's happening with US beef and all the hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, and the mad cow they won't talk about for fear of wiping out the stock markets.

Hopefully at that point the seed savers will save the food chain.

It's not too late to stop the madness!
