Why? Most people like a little run down before they take time clicking on a link.

those are just links to movie reviews/previews--not to an actual documentery on line
Food inc is a very good documentary though, I have watched it before--very eye opening.

If they don't click on the link then the GMO issue is obviously not of a great concern. Personly I think the titles of the links are atleast somewhat explanitory. When it comes to certain topics if I have interest in the topic I will click a link.

Yes, but some people have VERY slow dial-up, so it helps if they know ahead of time a little about the topic of the link, and how long the article or whatever, is.

Clicking on unknown links is a very good way to get infected with a virus or even worse. It has nothing to do with interest or lack of interest. It's not smart computer safety to click on mystery links.
Sorry, martenfisher, but I have no reason to believe that you are a super computer nerd who can guarantee that every link that you post is 100% safe to open. So I won't be clicking on unknown links.

It was made nearly 4 years ago. I would be thinking now if anybody was so concerned about things like that that person should would have heard about it long before now, You can rent the movie, even buy the movie on DVD

I saw an news interview with one of the scientists, mentioned in the link.
His biggest concern was Corporations controlling/profiting from GMO, more so than any food safety issues, relating from GMO.
Maybe control is what this is really about and food safety, is just used as ammo.

Personally, I think that if someone can't even take the time to give a brief description of the link, then the link isn't worth clicking. Either that, or its someone trying to make money off of their videos on Youtube.

The links explain themselves. After that you decide for yourself.

Cool!!!
A new science fiction movie about how GMO potatoes gained intelligence, and attacked the scientists developing them. I can't seem to be able to find the trailer, however...

Kind of reminds me of the old Sci Fi movie. "Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes".
All this is just so over blown it is laughable, just like that movie was. LOL

Not true. Give a synopsis when recommending a link. At least say what it is and why you're suggesting people go look. Not everyone has fast connections.

Maybe it just means we can get all the anti GMO propaganda we need right here, without having to click a link about a 4 year old movie

Profits are Evil.... everyone knows that.
It's in the New Secular Progressive Bible, being the 1st Commandment... Thou shalt not profit, for profit is evil.... and usurps the power of the central godhead of government.
Seriously....... ever noticed our friends on the progressive side have a reflexive hatred/dislike of anything doing with profits?
