Why are parents so protective of their kids and then they turn around and feed them poison?

I mean it is the ultimate irony. GMO's are almost in all the foods at a normal supermarket. The food people eat is literal poison. Fast food which should NEVER be eaten, GMO's, high fructose corn syrup, pesticides, the list goes on and on. I look at shopping carts at the supermarket and they are all filled with highly processed sugary GMO crap. The very few fruits people do buy are not even organic! so they are basically just getting a mouthful of pesticides!

Is it any wounder why so many of us are obese? why 1/3 Americans will get cancer and 1/4 will dies from cancer

ourfood is toxic and it is getting even more and more toxic as time goes on.

Update:

cause it is slow acting poison

why do you think we are all getting cancer and heart disease? from our food! obviously your not going to eat a burger and drop dead, but you might 20 years later for heart disease and that heart disease is a result of diet therefor, the food we eat is poison

Update 2:

o yeah GMOs are not poison at all, they just caused huge *** tumors in these rats

Update 3:

longer life span? America ranks 46th in life expectancy out of all the countries. That is HORRIBLE. I do not consider 76 years to be a long lifespan, that is the lifepsan of humans who eat garbage ( if they are lucky they will live that long ). But in today's day and age we should live to 90 ( like Andorrans or Japanese ) easily and we should not be dying of all these horrible diseases

    GMOs are not poisonous. Not at all.

    Neither is corn syrup -- it has too many calories, but it is not poison.

    1 study v. hundreds of studies showing the opposite.

    Which do you think is the outlier?

    You realize that there is no difference in the end result of GMO foods and new foods created by crossbreeding right? One simply is faster and cheaper than the other which takes hundreds of generations to complete.

    I can't exactly afford organic on $300 a month in food stamps and a part time Walmart job. But I do the best I can. I don't buy obvious junk food (not much anyway, lol). At least we don't drink fluoridated water.

    GMOs are fine, honey. They are good for us. It's only in your twisted worldview that they are not.

    If, however, you continue to FEEL so strongly about GMOs, there's a terrific country with incredible food just waiting to welcome you. This country is called France. You may have to learn French, however, to fully FEEL good again once you're there. Just saying. Honey.

    Ignorance if the government says it's ok then it's ok. Many people just put things in their carts without reading labels. The sad part is it's not the parents it's the government. Someone has to approve all of the dangerous ingredients that they're feeding their kids.

    Your answer would be just with hold the food from them altogether and as for your claims of it being Toxic can you say in my opinion because lets face it that is what it is.

    If the food we eat is literal poison, why are so many of us still alive?
