Actually you are wrong , 2 headed fish are in fact LESS likely to occur without the help of gen mod food , dipshit ,

maybe you should do some actual research

[nailo1]

can you make an actual argument or are you only able to speak in bullshit talking points

[nailo1]

i hope you know your an idiot, i think this quote from skeptoid makes the good point

"For every dreadlocked white kid beating a bongo drum in favor of organics, there is a Ph.D. agriculturist warning about its short sightedness and urging efficient modern agriculture to feed our growing population."

but to be fair present evidence for going to a strict or mostly "organic" crops

p.s. on average 100 mutations happen b/t generations so your claim is nonsense until you clarify

Apparently, your mother...

GMOs are NOT an inevitability. They are not likely to ever offer any real improvement over traditional plant and animal breeding techniques. For every desirable trait geneticists try to put in, there many undesired consequences. Gene expression is more complicated than most people could ever imagine. It is only total ignorance or unbridled greed and hubris that makes some think otherwise. This is why Monsanto tries to silence any scientist who disagrees w/ them. It goes against Scientific Method

Gen Mod Food is inevitable , but we are going waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy to fast with it . We will kill the Earth , we will kill ourselvs as a species .

This is Genetically FLAWED food !!! Genetic ERRORS if they occured in the WILD , a cause for a alarm ,

Would you eat a two headed fish cought near a chemical plant ?

Gen Modf food is useful but a cleaner fuel source to cleanly process Natural food , and be stewards of the Earth woukld be infinitly better
