Below is an article written by an anti-GMO website. This has me raging just looking through it at the misdirection and lies pisses me off. These people have no idea what these chemicals are they just here that it is incorporated in tires and there is "evidence" that it gives you diabetes. What it seem to me is a war on scary words not artificial products.

So an example where scary words really don't mean shit. ethylene glycol was commonly found in anti-freeze, it's technically "organic" yet highly toxic, would you want put that in your all organic herbal tea? Bet not.
Now Polyethylene glycol a polymer commonly used in medical applications, sutures, and one of the most biocompatibile polymers in existence. Yet produced from ethylene glycol. Yet you'd have to dump a gallon worth of this stuff down your throat to get a bad reaction and the worst thing that would happen is you'd get sick to your stomach.
Also I love how they use the word organic, it's completely based on opinion. Factually it's a low bar to be organic, Cheetos would qualify while water wouldn't.
Another, finding chemical from round up in your pee after eating the produce. What everyone immediately thinks is oh my god i've been basically sucking on a round up bottle every time I eat. Well I'd like to inform you that there is a far worse chemical to find in your pee and if it is there it means you will die within a couple weeks to months without proper medical treatment and lifestyle changes... it's ... glucose. That's right if you find sugar in your piss you will die, without some artificial insulin. If an artificial chemical is leaving your body through your pee guess what? that is usually what it's supposed to do, yeah it's going through your body but the fact that it leaves chemically intact usually means it hasn't had a chance to cause any problem.
Stop getting bullshited by these anti-gmo groups the truth is the products produced via chemical engineering are forced to a higher standard than any all natural herbal remedies and food producers. Don't believe me check out the compliance rate of companies that produce all natural stuff. They may be using all natural herbs and products but the way their manufacturing them is putting everyone that takes them at risk.
So i want to know your thoughts on this escapist but most of all I want to know if looking on the back of a package and seeing chemical names makes you not want to buy a product? Do you agree with the Organics point of view? I see this thread more as an open topic for anything relating to GMO's or organic products.
