Getting the priorities right for food safety

An article in the Atlantic discusses how consumers should be more concerned about high fructose corn syrup and larger portions than GMOs.

I completely agree. The cost of obesity, diabetes, and heart diseases should be much higher than consuming GMOs. I don't think GMOs are good but I don't think that they are terrible either but corn syrup, it is bad....Also large portions, it is bad....

In sum, the public should focus on the immediate and more urgent concerns than GMOs. We should all really either demand lower corn syrup and smaller portions. Or just stop buying such food.

Yes, it is difficult to change taste and culture but we will do it one food item at a time. Make a commitment of buying one sugary item less :D
