They act... We suffer.. We Mutate?

Does anyone remember a time where there was no such thing as organic food, it was all just food? Of course no one remembers, it seems so far away, but look at how far we have gone, it’s great isn’t it?! in case you didn't
pick it up, I’m being sarcastic!
Food is meant to have nutritional value and add something to your life, all we get now is piles and piles of empty calories designed purely to never fully satisfy you and make you morbidly obese.  Whereas before people would occasionally treat themselves to a sugary dessert, now you won’t be able to just have one, you’ll have a ton before you even get full, they have now designed sweets to never fully satisfy you and always leave you wanting more. This will not only lead to you gaining weight but will also lead to a plethora of illnesses.
Is this what the people of this country want, to be so fat that they can’t climb a flight of stairs without losing their breath?  The government certainly does, it will certainly cut back the amount of people who can protest! Now the government plans to enter GMO’s into the mix, oh, what a wise government- I think not!
GMO stands for genetically modified organism. This is where scientist essentially play God by adding, removing or in most cases manipulating the genes in an organism to make it stronger and more resistant to pests and insecticides and to try and make sure they have a longer shelf life.  This may sound marvelous, but what many people don’t know is that the company that makes the GMO crops is the same company that makes the pesticides, so in the end, it is not about giving you the best foods, but to make a multibillion dollar company more money!
What kind of government puts the will of big corporations ahead of the people they are ELECTED to serve? There is a very simple answer.. And it’s this government, especially when they also will find a way to make a huge profit. This country is heading the same way as the US, the people over there have been eating GMO foods for years now, and just look at the results, growing obesity, increased intolerance to foods, how many people do you know who are allergic to peanuts so violently that they might die?
Is this really where we want to be?  People always forget to mention a little detail when it comes to GMO foods and the US people- they have no labeling system, so they would be none the wiser. How democratic is that, you’re not giving the people a choice? Now over here we have labeling but if GM crops are in farm (factory) how do you know they have not mixed into your food? Even if you were a vegetarian, you still wouldn't be safe because if the cow is feeding on GMO seeds, than it is highly likely that the milk you pour into your tea is contaminated.
If we do accept this, it will fast become a slippery slope into rising illness and NHS bills. How can you people look at the US and say that you want to be like them??!!
