Food is not poisonous. People create ideas to make it seem food is poisonous, nothing more.
People love to create. It's part of who we are. Creation is not just a virtue in many respects, but a bane in others.
The entire idea that food is poisonous, when humanity has thrived on the same food since the dawn of time, is ludicrous and only being used as a means to make more money in a certain area.
After all, healthier eating does cost the average person more money. Yet, there is no valid statistic showing that the one who spends more money on healthy eating is guaranteed a longer lifespan than one who eats regular food.
The science is simply not there. All you have is conjecture. But by all means, continue believing as falsely as you do.
I would disagree with your point that food can't be poison, or at least toxic, when talking about unnatural foods, or prepared foods.
GMO is not the same as selective breeding to create different strains of a species, like cross pollination to create desirable traits. GMO is intentionally changing the DNA of a plant to create a desirable trait, such as built in pesticide. Monsanto for example creates plants that don't produce seeds so farmers can't use the seeds of the previous crop to grow the next harvest. In fact it has led to many suicides in India because they can't afford to farm the land due to having to buy seeds each season.
For thousands of years, farmers have grown food from the ground using the seeds of the previous harvest, and have used selective breeding to create new varieties. In the last 30 years or so however, they have started messing with the DNA to the point that it's no longer natural, and now we are not eating natural foods that people were eating a couple of generations ago. Cancer is growing, along with all sorts of diseases, yet people still say dna is the culprit. Well how did our dna change suddenly that diseases are growing out of proportion?
I was talking to the gay dude at the bar I frequent while smoking a cigarette and commenting on his nasty feet. He said it was because of frequenting gay bath houses, and there was nothing he could do, but apply medicine. Tried to tell him to change his diet to aid his immune system, but he basically told me I was just trying to live longer because I was afraid to die, and that there is nothing he could do to make him healthy except medicine. Absolute insanity, but I know from a few years ago when I changed my diet that I became super healthy.
