Ok, this is only a hypothetical program. If anyone could find some source of funding this could probably work and end most of the GMO debates in five years (or less)

Didn't you hear? We're already part of this program and we have no choice in the matter. It's been going on for nearly 20 years.

Is that even possible? Are there that many different GMO crops? Would the study include beef that was fed GMOs because I have to eat my burgers, steak, pork chops, bacon and eggs, etcetera.
I wouldn’t have a problem doing it but I want an incentive for my time.
Hey I would do it if the food was supplied free of charge that should be more than fair. I am sure I would need to give up some of my favorite foods because they are not available in GMO variety but I think it’s doable as long as I can have meat. I need seasonings if they aren’t already available in GMO variety.
I know at least 20 others that would as well.

How would it do that?
Assuming you would also have a non-GMO sample, what other lifestyle controls would be in place? You know we are affected by a lot more things than what we eat, right?
Free food. Sure. I'm in. But I'm not really actually a "supporter". Is that ok?

I already been eating GMO for 10 yrs, i'll sign up.
Like someone mentioned, there is soooo many factors that affect a human, how would you know what actually caused the problem. Environment? Food? Mentality? Air? Virus/Bacteria?
Even if you clone to identical people, they might develop different behaviors on how they interpret things thus, they will be different person.
Until a direct result is available that shows GMO affecting cellular metabolism in a bad way, i'll will consume it to an extent.
Everything in moderation.

I'm not joining in, I don't care if it was all free food. I know it is the quantities of changes within a generation that is the problem, not the single food changes. To boost up the food changes in one's life is suicide, either physically or mentally. If people want to do it, go ahead, a few less people in the world is all right with me. I don't think we should pay to support these people when they get sick or crazy though, let Monsanto pick up the charge.
Changing food chemistry consumed changes brain chemistry. All food is drugs, all food has toxic aspects if over consumed. In five years of real testing, science would know what happens, but the person who did the changes may not even know they are messed up in the head. Maybe some people who are messed up may even get a little better, but the majority would get worse. The whole group would be on meds at the end of five years, expensive meds with side effects.
By whom? Those who agree to take part in the experiment? Everyone who has cancer? Good luck with either of those. You know there was cancer before there were GMOs, right?
The thing is, if majority of these subjects fall ill or develop cancer/tumor like the (two year?) rat experiment, we have basis for a class action lawsuit
No. That is a lie of the anti-GMO crowd. Anyone can sue anyone for anything.
or are such lawsuits already banned by the so-called 'Monsanto act'??
Maybe all of us are going dim witted because of LCD screens!

Only if you don't have any other lights on.
