The original poster claimed there were negative health effects to eating GMOs. Where's the evidence? The graph given shows health is improving, not getting worse, so the burden is on your side to back you your claim. If the introduction of GMO food coincided with a decrease in overall health, then you would at least have some data to point out. It would be merely correlation, but it would at least be a start.
If you think allergies are increasing as a result of GMOs, then it should be pretty easy to come up with an experiment you can do in the lab to back up that claim or to dismiss it. I'm not expecting you do that experiment, but it shouldn't be too hard to find a scientists who already did.
