Nobody thought the Earth was flat. That was a political myth.
Now there are those who are simply afraid of GMO technology - awesome point. GMO technology is our future, but we have to use more than cosmetic health test standards for our 20 times a week ingestion substance testing. But the activists will be fully armed to declare ANYONE who opposes Bt Corn for example as religious GMO-phobes.
Hey superhans,
Would be willing to eat only Monsanto/Dow/Dupont based gmo corn, soy, alfalfa, wheat for one year straight while living in highly sprayed glyphosate area????? Then come back here and report back letting us all know how you feel with mri results showing the number of tumors in your body.
Dude seriously, look at american stats, number 1 in cancer, heart disease, duabeetus, autism, extremely low intellectual levels of iq,aand the list goes,on and on....
Im all for selective breeding of the best, strongest crops, naturally.....but when you start tinkering with dna to make plants resistant to poisons that are unnatural, then collect royalties from the seeds by strong arm & fear tactics, somewhere down the line, people are going to get hurt......
Not only that, Monsanto is hiring scientists to all their own studies in house, or they have ex-employees working at the epa, fda, federal gov........all smoke screens and corruption
There are already a bunch of studies showing tumor growth on rats fed only gmo, and pigs who have their stomach lining torn to shreds from these diets as well.
Its a HUGE step backwards for us as a people. There are studies showing lab created gmo farming isn't any better or productive than non-gmo techniques.
You want to see productive? There's a guy in Wisconsin who grows 2 million lbs of food annually on just 3 acres!!!!! All natural non-gmo techniques. Thats moving forward.

I would do it if you were willing to eat only an organic diet consisting of zero protein.
I know americans are not known for being the smartest but everybody here here thinks that GMOs are the "evil". So maybe this high level of stupid explains all the GMO hate.
So collecting royalties from plant seeds is causing people to get hurt?
You know patents on plants predate GMOs right?
Then why don't the activists donate money to get an experiment done that they can agree is fair? Shouting conspiracy does not really prove anyone wrong.
Please share some of these studies, there are "a bunch" of them after all. The ONE study that showed that rats fed GMOs get tumors was rejected by the scientific community. It had two major problems, the rats were given round up in their water (which nobody does) and the rats they used for the experiment were prone to get tumors all on their own. But since you have a bunch of these studies, please post them. I would love to read them.
Its 1 million, not 2. And managing less acres is much more efficient than trying to manage more.
I already do eat all organic, but get protein from beans........what's the point of no protein and what does that have to do with anything other than digressing away from the topic?
Go look at the mediteranean areas where they have the world's lowest cancer rates, and some of the Japanese provinces where they have the longest life spans, and you will see ZERO GMO's!!!!! They've been there for thousands of years eating, living, and existing just fine!!!!!
Patents on plants is the biggest joke ever..........plants existed prior to humans. I can then take the next logical step and say that Corporations can now Patent Air and Water and charge royalties for each breath we take and all the water we use.....Don't you see how insane and perverted this sounds???
There's already studies on rats, pigs, and various animals all over the world that shows stomach inflamation, tumors, upticks in bad side effects, and so on....but for some reason, a bunch of shills paid for by Monsanto keep saying these studies don't prove anything, and their flawed, etc.....
I know a few farmers personally and they said none of the wild animals, birds, squirels, racoons will touch any of the GMO corn they pull from neighboring fields. But when they set out natural Purple Native Non-gmo corn, it's all gone the next day......Even Nature is rejecting it!!!!

If 93 percent of the public would like to see gmo labeling, I feel that it is the responsibility of the FDA to start procedures to implement it. If even sixty percent of the people wanted it, it should be done.
Everyone I know says that food should be labeled as containing gmo if it does, it is up to the people to decide if they want to eat the food. I know a lot of people who don't care if they eat it but they still think it should be labeled as a right for those who want to eat more natural foods. People who want to hide unnatural chemistry being implemented into the food should be put in prison. They are violating the rights of others. In china they are having problems with manmade eggs on the market. Is that what we will soon be coming to here in America.
Originally posted by SuperhansWell when people have to make stuff up and offer no actual science to back up their claims then yeah. They are using religious arguments.
Its not off topic, you asked me to keep a diet that had almost no protien in it. I would do it if you would. Did you not understand what you wrote?
Zero GMOs? You might want to look into that a bit more...
But people have been doing this since long before GMOs were around. It is just a way for farmers to protect their life's work from being stolen from them.
Well if they made honest tests then there wouldn't be a problem. All the money in the world could not stop scientists from proving tobacco caused cancer. Just because a study is flawed does not mean that shills are involved. Do you not know how the peer review process works?
Because the crops have been made to not be eaten by animals and insects.
Now if you really want i can go through those studies one by one, is that what you want?

I bet that Q&A site will be chock full of 'planted' questions that will be easily answered.
This is going to be good.
Definitely shill-city.
I think I'll get in there and ask about some compelling issues.
Let's see if the questions even get published ?
ETA: geesh, here's the website:::::

I think monsanto is for the people, they provide cheap food for everyone. I don't think a company that charges 4 times as much for food because it uses "less" everything and is organic is really for anyone but the wealthy. All this organic crap is based on faith based health benefits and keeping up the appearance that you can afford to spend extra money on a stupid luxury.
