One of the best jokes: Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump
on Thursday reposted a tweet from a follower blaming his fall in a new Iowa
poll on genetically modified corn that “creates issues in the brain.”
"@mygreenhippo #BenCarson is now leading in the #polls in #Iowa. Too
much#Monsanto in the #corn creates issues in the brain? #Trump #GOP"
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2015
A poll released by Quinnipiac University early Thursday shows Trump trailing
retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson by 8 points among likely caucus-goers.
The tweet references Monsanto, a company that pioneered the use of genetically
modified organisms (GMO) in farming. GMO farming produces larger crops and
saves resources, but critics say food that has been genetically engineered
is not safe for consumption.
The St. Louis-based company has become the poster child for opponents of
GMOs, spurring a “March Against Monsanto” movement.
Concerned groups have launched unsuccessful state ballot initiatives that
would require foods that contain GMOs to be labeled.
The Food and Drug Administration, however, has said food made with GMOs
is safe.
