Regulate GMOs

We aim to educate the American public on deficits in the current regulation of GMOs and facilitate remediating action.

We received the following question and feel that it may help clarify any confusion surrounding our goals:

@miketerungwa @GMOAnswers These concerns are a misguided criticism of Capitalism. Biotechnology does not inherently lead to monopolization. We must work against economic injustices, but we cannot throw out technology that can remediate malnutrition and famine on a large scale.

Are GMOs Safe? by @GeneticLiteracy:

"More than 2,000 studies and 20+ years of consumption by humans and animals have produced no evidence that GMOs represent an unusual health risk."

Analysis of GMO Food Products Companies:

"Research indicates that the inconsistency between negative public opinion and positive scientific evidence supporting GM crops is at least partly the result of misrepresentations of GMOs."

@GeneticLiteracy Infographic:

"Every major scientific body and regulatory agency in the world has reviewed the research about GMOs and openly declared crop biotechnology and the foods currently available for sale to be safe."

Opposed to GMOs? by @nytimes: "extreme beliefs stem from [an] overestimation of knowledge.”

Our future depends on individuals correctly assessing their understanding and seeking the truth.

@AngryAccountant Please see our most recent tweet.

We are not, in fact, against science, feeding the world, vaccines, or GMOs. We simply believe that risks inherent to the technology should be diminished via regulations. Visit https://t.co/UKAWK5beKg for more information on our goals.

What are genome editing and CRISPR-Cas9?

You can be Pro-GMO & pro-environment.

You can be Pro-GMO & anti-corporation.

You can be Pro-GMO & pro-soil health.

You can be Pro-GMO & anti-chemical.

You can be Pro-GMO & Pro-water quality.

Stop the "us vs them" extremism already & learn from one another.
