GMO technology can have terrible side-effects.
32.50% - Terminator seeds make farmers permanent customers of the seed company by engineering dependency into the crop's biology.
27.86% - Ban GMO crop sales and you push development to China and Brazil with no oversight, while American farmers buy those same seeds on the black market.
18.57% - We can rely on our government to implement effective regulation.
9.29% - Terminator seeds force farmers back to the seed company every planting season — a dependency corporations engineered deliberately.
4.64% - Once GMO crop varieties are in widespread commercial use, banning them is physically impossible — pollen crosses state lines and you can't stop cross-pollination in the wind.
2.79% - Thirty years of commercial GMO crops, and not one cancer spike, not one ecological catastrophe — the danger argument is dead.
2.44% - GMO crops face more rigorous safety testing than any conventional produce ever did.
1.92% - A troubling application of GMO technology doesn't indict the entire field — just like one bad drug doesn't end all pharmaceutical research.
35.00% - You shouldn’t eat GMOs because they are bad for you.
25.00% - GMO’s contain toxins.
20.00% - Developing a GMO crop variety takes years of lab work and field trials before a single commercial acre gets planted — that research requires serious capital investment.
15.00% - GMOs exhibit a significant enough danger that they should be banned.
5.00% - GMO crop development costs hundreds of millions of dollars — family farms don't run biotech labs; that's why it's Monsanto, Bayer, and Syngenta doing the research. Not a scandal, just scale.
20.00% - GMO technology can have terrible side-effects.
20.00% - GMO technology has the potential for terrible unintended consequences.
20.00% - GMO technology has the potential for serious side effects that have not yet appeared.
20.00% - GMO technology carries the possibility of serious side effects that have yet to manifest.
20.00% - GMO technology carries the potential for serious unintended effects on those who consume it.
