    Because it's a documentary, and not a published scientific study

    The site is nothing but the usual alarmist hype, so why should I expect the DVD to present any factual information?

    Look at who made it, and tell me if they would really be openminded in presenting their film:

    Jill Latiano Howerton Executive Producer
    Jill Latiano Howerton is an actress turned activist
    Elizabeth Kucinich Executive Producer
    Elizabeth Kucinich is a sustainable organic food and vegan advocate.
    Nisha Vida Associate Producer / Researcher
    Vida is a contributor to foodreform.org, lead organizer of Vandana Shiva's project Seed Freedom LA, and has significant nonprofit and grassroots organizing work in the LA area
    Daniel S. McCoy, C.A.S. Location and Post Audio
    Dan was keen on selling organic certified food back in 1995 while attending Recording Arts School near Pasadena, CA.
    They are just selling their agenda, not presenting real evidence

    But feel free to prove me incorrect by showing actual credible studies proving harmful effects from GMO crops

    Drugs are different.

    The topic here is food, and there's nothing substantially different about
    GMO crops and organic crops as far as consumption is concerned

    Nothing you eat (unless you're a cannibal) has the same DNA as you, so what difference could it make if it's "modified" or not?

    Virus genes.

    Many viruses are killed if you swallow them

    Please do some basic research on what GMO is. It's not hybridisation. For a plant or animal to be GMO, a gene from another species or organism has to be added to it.

    The genes involved sometimes make the plant poisonous to insects who eat the plant. But we are led to believe that everything is all okay with them, even though they have done no long term testing to prove the safety in humans of their products.

    BTW - Many viruses are not killed when we eat them.

    Many are , many are not
    I didn't say "all"

    It still has nothing to do with this topic

    Now you're just parroting the talking points once more

    LOL

    Really?

    Seralini is all you've got?

    Like I said, no CREDIBLE studies show harmful effects

    Your link is to more rhetoric with no substance

    Here's what most said about Seralini:
