I have a question if i may! Im curious to know your opinion on eating foods like Corn and SOya that are Genetically modified. Im not sure exactly what the health implications / risks are, or why we might consider them somehow bad for us.. DO you think we should avoid these foods altogether or is it a bit of fear mongering?
thanks a lot!
I guess it's a bit of the science versus sense debate. The science certainly has value but to me it also has to make sense. While i understand the scientific impetus behind GM foods and I'm aware of the claims that it's all good, my intuition sets a few alarm bells ringing. And i don't take that lightly. Many people value the science over the sense. Still others go purely by gut feeling. It's important to see what science is for it's real worth and not deify it. It can be fallible and has proven to be so, just as it can be incredibly valuable. How does one know? The thalidomide disaster for example is a good reminder that not everything that science proclaims to be of value necessarily stands the test of time. So I would answer your question with a question...we know what the science tells us. What does your sense tell you? If they match up great. If they don't it's well worth waiting to see how it unfolds over time.
