> The others I agree with, but there's no evidence that HFCS or GM crops are bad.
That's a clever slight-of-hand.
Sure, GM crops are not intrinsically bad... it's just that they enable the farmer to spray pesticides and herbicides which are very clearly linked to bad outcomes in people who consume the food.
So the only way to ensure you're not eating food sprayed with those things is to choose a non-GM alternative.

You're accusing me of "clever slight-of-hand" when arguably the original offender was the OP. If it's really true that "GM crops are not intrinsically bad", then just say "pesticide ridden crops" or whatever? Isn't it a "clever slight-of-hand" to lump all GM crops together?
