The USA has been using GMO food for decades, and none of the scaremonger's claims about ill affects have manifested. The same technologies are forbidden in much of the EU; Europe is far behind.

I know about the foods, I was referring to the generic modification of animals (I guess that wasn't clear). It continues to surprise me that the fear mongers can still attract such a massive following with absolutely no proof of their claimed negative effects in the US, so much so that some major stores around me only seem to stock the "Non-GMO Project Certified" stuff in their produce sections. I think a lot of people somehow associate GMO foods with pesticides, when the Non-GMO stuff usually uses more pesticides from what I have seen.

I am surprised to hear that much of Europe bans it, as they often seem to be ahead of the US in a lot of other areas.

I actually know a man who does not look both ways when he crosses the road, claiming that he believes the good will of motorists will protect him and that he wouldn't mind dying anyway.

I tried to impress upon him that being hit by a car was more likely to result in a debilitating and sufferous injury than death, but he didn't change his behaviour.

Sounds like a situation where the phrase, "Live and learn" might have to pay up.

Different parts of our cultures are both equally backwards when we cross-compare.

I hope he gets stopped by the police or something before anything genuinely horrible happens.
