The scientific consensus on GMO foods seems seems to be that they aren't bad for you, while organic farming isn't all it claims to be.
From MIT Technology review: How Scare Tactics on GMO Foods Hurt Everybody
Also some myth-busting from Scientific American: Mythbusting 101: Organic Farming > Conventional Agriculture
Myth #1: Organic Farms Don’t Use Pesticides
Myth #2: Organic Foods are Healthier
Myth #3: Organic Farming Is Better For The Environment
Myth #4: It’s all or none

Don't bring that science in here we don't cotton to it. A year of college biology should be required for a liberal arts degree. It would solve so many problems from this to overuse of antibiotics. Okay off my soapbox. Thanks for some real information.

Joe,
Would the outcome from three peer reviewed studies confirming the dangers of GMO corn convince you?

Here's a great video from NewsMax Health. NewsMax isn't generally one of my go-to information sources, but this video is very informative.

I don't have time to watch a video, but the other link talks about the same de-bunked study that carygold brought up a while back. Looks like the author got miffed that Nature rejected his article and decided to pay his $1220 to publish through a SpringerOpen Journal. Upon a quick glance it looks like he has done nothing to address the concerns that Nature had with his study.
