Over 80 percent of Americans support "mandatory labels on foods containing DNA"

96. "well known" by whom?

The anti-GMO lobby?


I'm not going to get roped into any ad hominem fallacies about Lomborg other than to identify them as such.


The paper you quoted was for Uganda and sugar which is the cheapest method and arguably one of the cheapest countries to implement. The country is relatively flat and has roads which effectively cover the entire country.

But let's just go with those figures and pretend they are representative of the rest of the world when they certainly ain't. The costs are still higher than Golden Rice and still aren't as effective, so your "better" and "cheaper" argument still fails even with your own (lacking) data.

The article you keep parroting about the Rockefeller Foundation quote is about 14 years old and doesn't reflect improvements to the product so it's a bit curious why you would keep repeating it over and over. Here's what a more recent peer reviewed study has to say about the subject:

...we speculate that 50 g uncooked Golden Rice, which is a reasonable serving size for children aged 4–8 y in rice-eating regions, who eat ?130–200 g rice/d (25), would be able to provide >90% of vitamin A EAR (275 ?g retinol/d) or >60% of the RDA (400 ?g retinol/d) (24).

Good luck claiming the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition is a shill for corporate interests.
