This Saturday 49 countries worldwide. We are having one here in Vegas that I'll be participating in. I'm hoping by now everyone knows who they are and what they do...If your screenname is Gaylinko or E-kul, fuck off.

OMG, do you seriously buy into that Anti-GMO crap?

OMG, do you seriously not buy into that Anti-GMO crap?
No, so let me guess. Monstanto is evil and all GMO's are deadly poisons going to give us cancer, high blood pressure, ADHD, ADD, liver damage, makes us sterile, make us obese, and many others? No I don't buy into that.
-
wiggs, please educate me, briefly, on the evils of GMO?
???
-
GMO is death....only retards think animal DNA into vegetables or fruits is OK. In Europe they created a goat with a crossed human genome so they can produce breast milk almost identical to humans.
If you give your kids GMO foods you should kill yourself....painfully.

Good for you Wiggs, I hate Monsanto and I have a relative employed by them.
Adonis is going to go ape shit over this thread.

GMO might be perfectly healthy, we don't know yet.

oh brother

I have no idea. I just blindly eat. :-\

GMO might be perfectly healthy, we don't know yet.
Except after 5 generations....rats only on GMO foods develop tumors up to 33% of body mass and go impotent.

They don't put animal DNA in fruits sigh... So much misinformation passed on by the propaganda that is the anti-GMO movement.

Really? Source? Please don't show that debunked French study or point me to some link on some anti-gmo site like naturanews.

LOL....Go troll elsewhere. Anyone not believing in the dangers of this stuff either doesn't know, doesn't want to know, or knows and doesn't care. I've known about it for about 4 years. As I always say, don't just listen to me, do your own research!
You morons that wish to keep eating this garbage, be my guest, it makes the culling of morons easier.

Mice with human brains
In January, an informal ethics committee at Stanford University endorsed a proposal to create mice with brains nearly completely made of human brain cells. Stem cell scientist Irving Weissman said his experiment could provide unparalleled insight into how the human brain develops and how degenerative brain diseases like Parkinson’s progress.

Good, I'm against GMO and I get attacked by TA. I admit it might be safe, we don't really know yet and I'm attacked by you.
::)
I don't knowingly eat GMO, I know that I must be consuming some GMO but I try my best to limit it. We're on the same page here Wigigns.
-
On its own no....but once you research GMO and animal DNA mixing...yes.
And FYI I try to eat only organic....easier when you live in north georgia and surrounded by farms.
-
Here's an idea those that are Pro GMO and want more answers...Do you own research! I'm not wasting my time to prove you wrong. If you really want to know look it up. There are documentaries, articles, all kinds of info out there for free.

Oh my GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, the rose bushes I bought are GMO.........They Bloom almost all year long instead of just once. THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
so does organic mean non-GMO?
i thought it
a) meant varying things, as there's no one certifying body
b) usually had more to do with allowable pesticides / herbicides and such
i never buy organic, as some farmers told me it's a racket (basically just forced to use large amounts of inferior pesticides, as the good ones are banned)

OH MY GOD THE FUCKING HORROR!

For Longer-Life, Disease-Free Roses, NC State Researchers Insert Celery Gene
North Carolina State University research intended to extend the “vase life” of roses inserts a gene from celery inside rose plants to help fight off botrytis, or petal blight, one of the rose’s major post-harvest diseases.
Some fungal pathogens, the bad guys that infect plants, produce a sugar alcohol called mannitol that interferes with the plant’s ability to block disease like petal blight, which produces wilty, mushy petals – an effect similar to what happens to lettuce when it’s been in the crisper too long.
In an effort to make roses live longer – and to get more value from your Valentine’s Day gifts – NC State horticultural scientists Dr. John Dole and Dr. John Williamson lead an effort to insert a gene called mannitol dehydrogenase from celery into roses to “chew up” mannitol and allow the plant to defend itself from one of its greatest threats.
“This gene is naturally found in many plants, but it’s uncertain whether the rose already has it,” Williamson says. “If it does, it doesn’t produce enough enzyme to help the plant fight against petal blight.”
The genetically modified roses currently growing in NC State test beds look and smell like “normal” roses. Now the roses will be tested to see whether they’re better able to withstand petal blight.
The research is just one part of an extensive NC State effort to build a better rose, Dole says. Other research thrusts include examining the types of sugars best suited for mixture with water to keep the plants thriving after they’ve been harvested; studying the variance in water quality across the country to see which water provides the best home for roses after they’ve been cut; and preventing various other important plant diseases.
The ultimate goal is to get roses to survive for three to four weeks after they’ve been harvested, Dole adds. Many of the roses in florists and grocery stores come from Colombia and Ecuador, so the longer shipping times can reduce vase life after purchase.
Other NC State project collaborators include Dr. Bryon Sosinski, who is working on identifying other resistance genes in the rose that could provide additional resistance to other environmental factors, and Drs. George Allen and Sergei Krasnyanski, who insert the genes of interest into rose plants.
The research is funded by Dole Food Company and the American Floral Endowment.

Organic is worse. You get expensive crop, poor quality-VERY poor quality and more pesticides will be used on Organics.

Toyota has just the thing for you. It has genetically engineered two new species of flowers that soak up air pollution.

So Toyota engineered two species of flower than absorb heat and nitrogen oxides (both common pollutants from the Toyota lines) from the atmosphere. Toyota’s new flowering genetically modified organisms (GMO) are derived from the cherry sage and gardenia and leave behind only water vapor after soaking up the potentially harmful nitrogen compounds.

No, they've never planted animal DNA into fruit.

Are you concerned at all about consuming GMO? ???

The anti-gmo movement is made up of a lot of anarchist, anti-business/anti-1% types that really don't care about GMO's. Also youtube video's are worthless, See a youtube video can be made to support your cause pro or against on just about any subject.
-
Are you concerned at all about consuming GMO? ???
Obviously it depends. If you tell me that I'm about to eat an apple infused with the DNA of an anaconda, than yes, I would be concerned.
But in general no, not really.
I had to study this alot in university. I'm not scared.
I"m more scared of the stupid propaganda that comes along with GMO's. Some of it is just straight from the horse's ass.

From your article:
Some experts pointed out to the BBC that the pictures of the rats with the tumors were misleading.
"The most evocative part of the paper is those pictures of tumorigenesis," said Maurice Moloney, a research biologist at Rothamsted Research in Harpenden, England, said to the BBC.
He said the authors mislead readers to believe that these tumors never happen in control groups.

From what I understand, from a cousin in farming, organic produce doesn't use any pesticides, they use certains flowers in adjacent rows to keep the insects away. This is why it's more expensive because they can't grow as much crop.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the scientists who were smarter than me from day one and have devoted their life to studying a subject are NOTHING compared to the knowledge I've gained from half a dozen websites I've skimmed over the course of a Saturday afternoon.
The Internet has proven this time and time again.

hey fatso, monsanto is helping to fee your obese kind, how can you not like them?
haha you participating, what does that mean, the parade will pass by your place and when in a marijuana eating frenzy you go down to get a pack of oreos youll be walking along for couple feet?
I'm dying over here. ;D
-
hahaha, i like this one, the obese brother will be quiet on this i think.
he fisrt has to look up wether oreos are organic or not.
living in las vegas and talking about self sufficient farming,oh brother.
;D
OMFFFFG Galeniko, I believe you are one of the most humorist posters on here. HAHAHAHAH I find myself laughing thread after thread.
Imagine the dismay he will feel when he conducts the three hour internet search on the Oreos and the frustration he will face when he turns up nothing.
-
the hungry people in the world dont care, they wanna deal with the hunger first.
nobody forces anyone to eat any of their gmo food, do they?
you as staunch supporter of free markets should know ;D
You're absulutly right, and I couldn't agree more... Live I've said in previous posts, if you don't like GMO you do not have to consume it.
For all I care, sell a modern day version of sugar of lead like ancient Rome.
Did I ever say something to indicate I felt differently?
-
maybe they did their own research and are smarter than you.and had better sources.
do you think your foreign-to-education self is the all end on this topic?
hahahahaha
Wiggs ancestors were brought over here to be organic farmers. Maybe he is just nostalgic. :-\
-
Companion Planting is largely a myth with no Science behind it.
Myth or not, I asked him why he didn't sell his strawberries as organic(he has a ten acre patch), he told me it could not be listed as organic because he used pesticides. I don't really care about the pesticides/herbicides as I don't have a third arm or anything. I do however try to eat beef that has not been hormonized, as I'm not sure the effects of those steroids put in the meat.
-
hahahaa ;D
wiggs is hilarious, he does "call for arms" on a bodybuilding forum, against a multi billion dollar company, think about it, this is absolute comedy gold
think of this, he somehow makes it to spokesman for anti gmo and anti monsanto and is invited on live tv.
he comes into the room, his eyes all red from the weed he just smoked, and is confronted with a highly paid professor whos pro monsanto and is asked questions and then he makes arrogant face expression, gets a pack of oreos from his pocket, munches on one, and then replies:"professor, do your research, havent you heard of google and youtube?"
hahahaha ;D ;D
ROFLMAO!!!!
Yes, I can see him now, pulling out his 2nd Generation IPhone and trying to show some Bat-Shit Quasi-Liberal/Right Wing Lunatic Alex Jones video to the panel while dressed for some unknown reason in his old Air Force Uniform that hasn`t fit since the Clinton Administration that still has the same shit stains on them from 2003.

I'll have to destroy Adam (as usual) later. I have errands to run but I'll leave everyone with these.
Food Inc. (Can't find a free link on youtube) and this one below...for starters.
I watched this documentary. While it convinced me Monsanto uses very aggressive techniques to increase profits (including many things most would deem immoral: lying, coercing, etc.), there's little information about the safety of GM crops, which is the issue I'm interested in.
That Monsanto basically tried to bury some evidence against rBGH was probably the strongest point of the documentary, and along with some evidence of bribes, government manipulation, etc. shows the company is apparently willing to go quite some distance to promote its products, despite knowing about problems. That said, the fact is rBGH was shown to cause some problem with cows, the result of which introduced puss into milk, which, in turn, necessitated farmer's feed the cows antibiotics. It was never established what effect these antibiotics had on people, nor was this really Monsanto's direct responsibility -- as far as I know, the farmers were the ones pumping their cows with pills.
This honestly doesn't strike me as that big of a deal. And besides that, there was no evidence any of their transgenic crops were in any way harmful to human health, or anything to suggest these crops weren't immensely beneficial to consumers. As for the plight of the farmers (which is the basic concern of the documentary's last third), well, call me callous, but I don't really give a shit.
-
I was against herbicides and pesticides from the beginning. Recently though I wrote a 7 page research paper for my college English class on gmos. The things I found are very disturbing. The reason the majority of people could care less is because GMOS haven't been around for a average human lifespan. They really only started being implemented in the early 90's regularly. so people don't really know what they are doing to them yet. There have been many recent studies on animals being fed gmos through their lifetime and to put it shortly, they kill you, they kill you slowly from all sorts of things but mainly cancer and massive tumor growth. The sad thing is most of the civilized world knows this and has outlawed them, but of course good ole MERICA! Turns a blind eye all in the name of money and in my opinion population control. Call me a conspiracy theorist but facts are facts. I actually talked with an orgainc farmer whose father was part of a team at Ohio state in 1940(he won the javelin in the big ten and was on the same track team as jesses owens- his name is Howard Ell) that started experimenting with herbicides. He told me his Dad saw the effects that they were having on the plants and the direction in which the food in the U.S was going so after he graduated to moved back home to cincinnati and started his own organic farm. True story, the Ell farm is still going today. Some food for thought.

gross oversimplification. obviously not every genetic modification is going to "give you cancer". but you think GM crops which provide us food will cause cancer? why? what evidence is there?
not only does this seem highly unlikely, i also find it almost completely unintuitive. to think that slight tweaks in DNA, for agricultural purposes, would have an unintended side effect of tumor growth seems hard to believe...

not only does this seem highly unlikely, i also find it almost completely unintuitive. to think that slight tweaks in DNA, for agricultural purposes, would have an unintended side effect of tumor growth seems hard to believe...
Look at the video I posted above your post. Farmers getting covered in rashes, livestock dying. If you have a good explanation I would be interested to hear it.

In the documentary linked above, they suggested it was from walking through roundup-doused crops.
I find it surprising that, in the same documentary, while roundup was "linked to cancer", the roundup resistant soybeans weren't. I think, if there were even the slightest scrap of evidence for such a link, that woman would have been all over it.

One of the doctors on ironage posted this video a year ago,its about how wheat is no longer the wheat we used to know,and what interested me was at the time i had a rash on both arms and legs,and kept having diarohea all the time,and this video made me think about the food i was eating.I cut out as much wheat products from my diet and the rash went,and so did the shits.

hahahaa ;D
wiggs is hilarious, he does "call for arms" on a bodybuilding forum, against a multi billion dollar company, think about it, this is absolute comedy gold
think of this, he somehow makes it to spokesman for anti gmo and anti monsanto and is invited on live tv.
he comes into the room, his eyes all red from the weed he just smoked, and is confronted with a highly paid professor whos pro monsanto and is asked questions and then he makes arrogant face expression, gets a pack of oreos from his pocket, munches on one, and then replies:"professor, do your research, havent you heard of google and youtube?"
hahahaha ;D ;D
Hahahaha absolutely brutal

Hey, Wiggs, I got invited to this demonstration by a couple of pretty girls. Maybe I'll see you there! Not sure if I'll go yet, still researching on whether GMO's are evil or not.

OMG, do you seriously buy into that Anti-GMO crap?
lol. A lot of countries are against GMO. Read the news.

Would you let your child eat a GMO only diet.....conversation over bitches.

The only country where there is an outright ban is Peru.

The only thing about GMO I find offensive is when large corporations sue small farmers for patent infringement when their GMO seed, through no fault of the small famer, crosses with the crops on small family owned farms. This is corporate behavior that I find offensive and not the GMO seed itself. Protest against Gmo seems to be one of the current causes in vogue among liberal types and completely groundless.

You should read the lawsuits. Monsanto doesn't prosecute small farmers because seeds blow onto their land. When they do sue a farmer, they usually have very good reason to suspect the farmer was illegally using Monsanto seeds. Things like spraying all the crops with roundup which you wouldn't do if they were conventional crops.
Farmers sign a contract whenever they buy Monsanto seeds that says among other things they will not try to reuse them and will buy new seeds the next year. If the farmer doesn't like the conditions of the contract, they can buy their seeds elsewhere. There are many choices.

A French farmer who is now disabled and unable to continue his farming duties because of pesticide poisoning has won in court against Monsanto!
Monsanto has been found guilty of chemical poisoning! A court in Lyon ruled that Monsanto’s Lasso weedkiller formula, (containing alachlor) caused Paul Francois to develop neurological damage as persistent memory loss, headaches, and stuttering during speech.
Reports say that the 47 year old farmer sued Monsanto in 2004 after inhaling the Lasso product while cleaning his sprayer tank equipment. Soon after, Francois had symptoms that prevented him from working. The reason Monsanto is getting caught out this time is because the Lasso’s packaging did not have adequate warnings about the dangers of exposure. The French court agreed with the claims and evidence presented, declaring earlier this year that “Monsanto is responsible for Paul Francois’ suffering and must entirely compensate him.” The court is said to be looking for expert opinions on how to gauge Francois’ losses in order to determine how much Monsanto should be required to pay.
“It is a historic decision in so far as it is the first time that a (pesticide) maker is found guilty of such a poisoning,” said Francois Lafforgue, Paul Francois’ lawyer, to Reuters.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), exposure to alachlor can cause damage to the liver, kidneys, spleen, eyes, and could lead to the development of anemia or even cancer. (http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/basicinformation/alachlor.cfm)
In 2007, France banned Lasso in the country in accordance with a European Union (EU) directive enacted in 2006 prohibiting the chemical from further use on crops in any member countries. Despite the evidence shows alachlor can disrupt hormonal balance, reproductive or developmental problems, cancer, and still the chemical is still being used on crops throughout the U.S. to this very day.

No, so let me guess. Monstanto is evil and all GMO's are deadly poisons going to give us cancer, high blood pressure, ADHD, ADD, liver damage, makes us sterile, make us obese, and many others? No I don't buy into that.
Even if you think GMO is great. How do you like Monsanto's way of conducting business? Trying to outlaw manufacturers right to put "non GMO" labels on their products. Trying to sue whole countries in Europe who have democratically outlawed GMO because it has been proven to carry health risks and still have risks/effects that have yet to be fully understood.
EU has a complete ban on GMO, do you really think that is without valid reason?

It does not matter what is true. People eat enough other shit that is slowly killing them. The point is that people should ALWAYS be able to make an informed choice.

Of course I personally care about truth. But in this particular case the topic is being clouded by science. There are two separate questions: 1. Is it safe? 2. Should people be able to make their own decisions?
I love DNP. I know it is not good for me. But I want to be able to make that choice. I want the same for GMO foods. Most likely I'll eat them anyway, but my personal choice should never be taken away from me.
