    As a writer for the HealthCanada Hubpages Page, I often get asked alot about GMO's. When Mcdonalds asked users to submit questions, i couldn't help but heed the call.
    I asked mcdonalds if their foods contain any GMO's and as in the pic, you can see clearly that they proudly admit they do.
    In one of our hubs: http://healthcanada.hubpages.com/hub/GM … tudy-Shows
    You can see that the use of GMO's are not only dangerous, but deadly!
    With this evidence I'd say, They are not a viable food source, but hey at least they have that seed vault in alaska right?

    They've been around for years, and there isn't a viable difference between the Americas ( which consume large amounts of GM foods) and Europe. The only time GM finds to be a problem, odd enough, seems to be small, poorly-controlled experiments denounced by just about every respectable scientist who read the extremely unclear paper that, hmm, OMITTED their DATA when dealing with a species of rats BRED To frequently HAVE TUMORS because of their link to cancer research.
    So, no. Bad science really angers me, and if GM foods caused cancer, we'd be dead.

      Im sorry you haven't been convinced by countless studies, not just the mainstream ones.
      Maybe perform your own study and then show us your results until then I would rather not use my child as a test rat...
      Have fun though..

      We all need to take a look at what other countries have done concerning protecting their citizens from GMO's.

      Its banned in other countries, because of their health studies.
      They don't have the F.D.A over there to tell them 'yes, they are safe'. So they do independant tests, and have banned them in most cases.

      i'll take the US FDA over china or russia's versions any day

      as for europe - they are proactively banning some gmo's - they dont have solid evidence showing gmos are harmful.  the costs of banning gmos far outweigh the unproven claims of harm
