Bwahahahahaha "Natural" corn? There is no such thing. All corn is a GM food product. Not all modern corn. All corn, since it is an entirely human invention.

I once had a teenage girl scold me for eating a hamburger. "Don't you realize that that dead cow you are eating is the product of 4 billion years of evolution?" I responded, "As opposed to that carrot you are eating alive?" She had no response.

And therein lies the real reason for the EU banning GM foods. It is the easiest way to ban American imports without seeming to ban American imports.

Here's an interesting fact: no company pays tax. They pass it on to their customers ... wait! That would be us, the customer.

Our bodies naturally crave carbs. Where carbs are a problem is when you eat too many of them and sit on your behind all day watching the TV or the computer screen. Eat your carbs then drag your butt out of the Fat-E-Boy recliner and move! Now go back to the children's table, this is an adult conversation.

Carbs, in general, are what the brain uses for energy, which explains why you would make such a foolish statement. In fact, carbs, in general, are the fuel that your body burns. If you are eating a carb-free diet (good luck accomplishing *that* particular feat) your body will convert the lowest calorie component of your food and your body to carbs for fuel, that would be protein and muscle. Carb starving leaves you feeling tired and hungry all the time.

Not true. Cooking is not genetics. Cooking is chemistry where you get to lick the spoon.

rGBH is not, I repeat, NOT, a GM food. Please it would be ever so helpful for you if you wish to join in an adult conversation if you would first become conversant in the subject. Until then, you may either listen quietly or return to the children's table. Shoo!

The current darling of the organic foodies is Agave Nectar. The supposedly natural sweetener is said to be better that HFCS or cane/beet sugar. Except ... it is not natural at all. It also is not nectar. The root of the agave plant, the same thing that makes your tequila, if full of starch -- carbs -- it is the processed in a way that is similar to the production of HFCS resulting in a man-made product with up to 90% fructose, the evil sugar implicated in HFCS. Talk about high fructose!

Wait a minute! I was under the impression that people had the flu because of a virus. And now I find out that the pesky Spanish Flu of 1919 that killed millions worldwide was caused by GMO which weren't invented yet? Or ... were ... they? Perhaps, just perhaps, that evil giant Mansanto has also invented the time machine and has secretly transported its seed back to 1900 or earlier so as to pollute the food stream. Those evil geniuses. Mwahahaha!! I probably goes back even farther. The smallpox epidemic that killed Native Americans. The bubonic plague! Monsanto = evil. Probably run by Cheney!

All food, ALL FOOD is genetically modified. Before agricultural scientists were doing gene insertion, they were getting similar results, drought and pest resistance, through the slower method of forced hybridization. It's the same process! Wheat as we know it would not exist without it. Corn would not exist at all if not for genetic modification done by Native Americans over the course of centuries on maize. And do not get me started on the bulsht screeching over HFCS -- High Fructose Corn Syrup. High Fructose are the adjective used to describe the corn syrup. Compared to corn syrup it is high in fructose; compare to cane/beet sugar it has about the same ratio of fructose to glucose.
