Did the typing tard get the you*** right?
What should be at the top in your opinion?

I'm not saying I think gmos or other artificial food substances are bad. I'm just saying it is possible that they could be and we just don't know yet.
But that's my point. We don't know about any of the things that will turn out to be harmful to us until we do. Unless we have a reason to believe that it is more likely that GMOs will be one of those things, acting like they are is irrational.
I mean, we could find out that Acai berries are carcinogenic in 50 years. Does that mean you should, just in case, avoid acai berries?
But it's a safer bet that most foods found in nature (and that we have been eating for hundreads or thousands of years) are probably fine. Especially those that have already been established to be healthy. I can understand someone wanting to stay away from artificial foods to be on the safe side, just in case.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
