Does my 4,000-calorie high-fat, high-sodium meal contain GMOs?
The big corporations and their dangerous scientific experiments have gotten out of control, and if we don't do something about it, it's going to start affecting our health.
It's getting so bad that I can't even pop over to my favourite fast food restaurant, order a satisfying and invigorating double-cheeseburger, large fries, and large milkshake, without stopping in horror as I'm about to take my first combination-bite-and-sip. I can't help wondering: is this delicious monstrosity made from genetically modified organisms?
Because if so: bleccch and may God have mercy on us all.
What's next? Corn? Potatoes? Soy? Tomatoes?
Not. On. My. Watch.
If I sit myself down to dig into a meal that contains an animal — or likely several — that came from wherever, and many grains that were ripped from soil (the quality of which I do not know) and pounded into a fine dust before being turned into the bun upon which my mystery meat sits, I want to know that it was in no way changed at any time.
Who are we to play God? If a food is already a certain way, it should remain that way. If the amount of food that comes from a crop can only feed a certain number of people, leaving many across the world hungry, that is the way it is supposed to be. Otherwise, it wouldn't be that way!
I mean, am I missing something here?!?
(I'm not.)
So step back, Monsanto, and keep your grubby, genetically modified fingers off my fast food. Progress just isn't worth it if it means I have to think twice about the nutritionally dubious things I am putting in my body.
