I agree.
Also, IF any consumer chooses not to consume a GMO because
a few of the millions of chemical structures in the genome have been replaced by a few different "receptor" molecules, THEN by the same logic they should not consume:
- alcohol
- THC (marijuana)
- many types of pain relievers
- SSRI antidepressants
because these all alter the body's natural function by masquerading as another chemical normally found in the body or by more aggressive substitution in chemical receptor locations.
Having said that, I believe there are better reasons not to consume some or all GMO products.
Most disgusting GMO application: Monsanto's unethical and usury production of wheat and other crops which not only have sterile seeds, but also interbreed with some natural varieties of wheat (e.g., growing wild in Canada) so that they take on the same properties. The purpose of course, is to make growers completely dependent on Monsanto for seed.
Most worthwhile GMO application I know of: My cousin would not be alive today if it were not for cultures of genetically modified cells which reversed a rare anemic disorder found in that branch of the family.
