YC,

Have you got a medical and biological perspective to your argumanet of justifying the widespread uptake of GM foods?

I am not a GP, a medical scientist with years of practical knowledge gained from eating organic and vegetarian foods. The benefit of these two choices combined go towards building healthier and a stronger body and mind. We are a biological cellular organism affected by the quality of food going into the cellular level. At this level, putting in good quality proteins, vitamins and minerals will directely benefit the cells making up the body whether they be the bodies organs, blood, muscles or lymphatic & nervous systems.

The question we need to be asking ourselves is do we as a country want to end up as a nation of strong and healthy individuals who can provide for building a better nation. Or do we want to end up as another clone of the US weakened by the greed of a modern civilisation intent on placing all important decisions on financial costs.

Food is not just something put into the body to fill and empty stomach. There is an important function to food that is overlooked in leiu of making a quick dollar, better productivity from a parcel of land. There are more intelligent strategies for food production that aren't even examined properley. Mankind in his haste to make the production of food more cost effecive and efficent is not considering the effects it may have on the costs to society of poorer health standards, individuals who instead of thriving, are weakened by ingesting the low quality GM alternative and we build a nation of these people who are unable to look after themselves or anybody else.

I think you need to take into account a wider perspective YC when making your claim of the benefits moving towards GM production and of eating GM food.
