We're making memes smarter. So can you. Visit the Photoplasty and Pictofacts
Workshop (http://forums.cracked.com/viewforum.php?f=55) to get started.

Since we're all cramming food into our face-holes several times a day, you would think
we've got it completely figured out. But as it turns out, most of the so-called facts we
know about food are actually completely wrong. So we asked our readers to serve us
up a steaming plate of food myth debunking.

#22 GMO's are newfangled evil! 5 0

Bullshit. In fact, humans have been genetically modifying produce since the dawn of
agriculture. There's absolutely no proof that non-GMO foods are healthier than their GM
counterparts. Also, if it weren't for GMO's, there'd be a lot more starvation.

"Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it 4 0

attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer
eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That’s
why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

GMO foods won't give you cancer, that's not the problem with them. The 1 0

problem is that GMO crops, and most of those are stuff like soy or corn, are engineered to be
resistant to certain pesticides in order to additionally boost their yields, and those pesticides,
such as neonics (Monsanto's Roundup) have been linked to declines in populations of
pollinators such as bees.

An even bigger problem is that GMO crops disrupt natural soil usage patterns and lead to a
decline in biodiversity, and that's really, really bad.

Another problem is that GMO crops lock farmers in and use very heavy handed legal tactics to
keep it that way, effectively making farmers indentured servants to GMO corporations. This is
also very connected to the above problems of pesticides and soil usage.
 
So to recap: GMO food won't give you cancer, but it will give the bees cancer. Also, most
industrially produced produce tastes very bland, regardless of GMO or not.

It will get only worse if the Monsanto-Bayer merger goes through. This is not a conspiracy
theory, it's fact.
