What I like about this debate is that the host only either seems to be on the corporations side or on the side of emotional what ifs. You may say that is what a debate is suppose to be, each person takes a side. But you have to remember this debate happens because they were already on the side of the corporations. The young girl speaks with simple wisdom, common sense and caution.
At one point the hosts say, "We are in a long term study, We're the experiment. We're the lab rats." That is an insane thought. What makes it insane is they say it with complete acceptance. Then they argue with her about having the choice of labels. They say it with the idea of complete acceptance of not having choice. So basically the hosts point of view is, we don't have a choice so just shut up and eat the GMO. And make yourself feel good because it may be helping someone who is living in poverty.
How the hosts are wrong:
One it is not scientific to do studies then not let any other scientific individuals or group collaborate your findings separately.
Two it is not responsible science to experiment on a large uncontrolled group of test subjects(us).
Three GMOs are in all corporate food. There a plenty of other sources for food. Especially in North America.
Four GMOs are not ending hunger. Also their is no evidence it will end hunger.
Five even it GMOs created the yields to end world wide hunger. Because they are GMOs, the products created from them will belong to the corporations. Which means, if you can not afford it, you will not be able to attain it. So if your poor in a third world country and can't afford it now why would you afford it then.
Six to be against GMOs is not being against science. It's about being against being a "lab rat".
Seven only an idiot would just accept what some large corporation says about something being healthy. Corporations are about profit. And everyone knows if a corporation can pollute something, place or person in slow increments they will. Why? Because that way they can say they are not the cause or the only cause of what ever ills may befall the something, place or person.
Eight Totalitarianism describe a system in which the state(corporation) holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever possible - This is what the hosts mean when they say you have no choice.
