GMO's are not the anti-Christ..." 'James "Kimo" Rosen'

I believe GMO foods should be labeled as Kosher and Organic foods
are now appropriately marked for the consumer. GMO's may not be
as bad as so many believe, time will tell...

With all the negativity against GMO technology I decided to do some research.  My findings were GMO's are not the anti-Christ so many seem to believe. GMO should stand for Great Meal Offering!

Chances are many have enjoyed a dinner full of GMO's, from your fresh farmed Salmon to grilled corn on the cob along with the delicious tasting rainbow papaya.

Did you know, many cosmetics, the soaps we bathe with and the detergents we wash our clothes with are likely GMO derived.

 Your neighbor may be a GMO product themselves,maybe they were  the product of In vitro fertilization (IVF) or even a  test tube baby.Five million IVF babies have been born since the era of assisted GMO, DNA reproduction dawned in 1978. Many protested that IVF babies would be monsters born without souls. GMO's have made it possible for many people to conceive babies that weren't able to on their own.

Even your local stoner that shows up at Anti'GMO protests has probably smoked GMO enhanced marijuana. What protesters have missed is that today’s potent varieties of marijuana were created  by genetic modification.  The University of Central Florida  has a pending US Patent for a cannabis sativa genetic modification.

The founder of the anti GMO movement  Mark Lynas used to be the kind of fire-breathing activist who sneaked onto test farms and wreaked havoc on genetically modified (GM) crops.  He has totally changed sides and is one of the biggest advocates for GMO's, with the world's population  expected to grow from today's 6 billion to about 8 billion by 2030. Feeding all of these people and eliminating hunger will require advances in food production and distribution.

GMO technology has gone one step further with Japanese scientists now making beef from Human feces that will be on the market soon. This is no shit, actually it is shit.

The University of Hawaii developed a genetic modified papaya  back In the late 1980's because the Papaya industry almost died because of  the Papaya Ring-spot virus. GMO technology basically rescued and saved the Papaya industry in Hawaii with the birth of the rainbow papaya.

Imagine, a world where you can raise a disease-free child with three or four genetic parents, engineered to be hyper-intelligent with superhuman strength. Imagine an abundance of  fresh disease free produce to feed the worlds population into the next century and beyond.

Technology has changed, we now have smart phones, laptop computers with WiFi,  tablets and  microwave ovens creating radio waves all around us that many once protested and thought to be harmful.

I believe GMO foods should be labeled just as Kosher and Organic foods are now appropriately marked for the consumer, however I believe GMO technology has already created and saved human as well as plant and animal life.  

GMO's can't live with them, can't live without them.

The Honolulu Staradvertiser asked me to come up with a 150 word edit, down from 502 words. Enclosed below  is the shortened edited version;
