Please show me where there are so many single girls yet not so many single guys, cuz I seem to know many of both… Of course, I am not a cross section of the population, but it seems to be the case in general. And in many cases, older singles are single because of some issue, whether a personality issue, mental issue, or picky (issue). Not all, but oh, so many.
Hey Josh,
A few things. First of all, o believe you have a misunderstanding of the halachic status of klayim. As others have noted, a Jew is prohibited from producing Klayim, but may partake in it if produced by others. It is for this reason that we can own a mule if we so desired.
Regarding the �tests� that claim that GMO�s cause sterilization, there is a scientific consensus that currently available food derived from GM crops poses no greater risk to human health than conventional food, but that each GM food needs to be tested on a case-by-case basis before introduction. The issue of sterilization seems to be unfounded.
Third, you should keep in mind what GMO�s were created to solve. Farmers have issues with insects eating their plants and parasites infecting them. Many farmers turned to pesticides as a response, but there was a lot of harm to the environment and to humans with pesticides, as it is in essence poison. In turn farmers found a different solution, using genes from a similar more immune plant to build up the immune system of this plant. If not for GMO�s there would be more pesticide, and that has had proven negative effects.
