Corn Terrifies Me! (Holy Health-Nut Rant, Batman! Half Retraction)

So, watched an informational show (how it works or something) about corn. It was terrible. And terrifying. Did you know GMO corn kills monarch butterflies? Yes. It does. And the place they grow this corn? In a deep, dark limestone cave because if the GMO strains get out they could wipe out all the corn in the US. Then it'd kill all the livestock (cause they're all beefed up on corn). Yeah, Science, that seems like a good idea.

So, I'm on a mission to avoid all corn. And I've been disturbed by the meat industry for a long time, but now I've got the balls to buy meat raised with integrity. (I've vaguely heard these things are not good, but I need proof, not just vagueness and opinion.)

So, I take back what I said about science and GMOs being a good idea. But I am still fascinated by it. I love microbiology. And I would totally be an agricultural scientist if I could even though I think it's sort of evil.

*NOTE: The show was not even crazy-leftist propaganda, only informational.

Also, Wal-Mart really is bad because it is subsidized by the government and isn't free-market at all. Plus, (like most big stores) they are notorious for poor treatment of humans (like outsourcing for the lowest price even if the people making those clothes/toys/shoes/etc. are slaves and abused). I hate human trafficking.
