True story? ???
Mexico Bans GMO Corn, Effective Immediately
by Beth Buczynski
October 16, 2013
Just when you think there’s no winning against the biotech industry, news out of Mexico City shows that all is not lost. After years of deliberation, a Mexico judge has placed an indefinite ban on genetically-engineered corn. Effective immediately, companies like Monsanto and DuPont/Pioneer will no longer be allowed to plant or sell their corn within the country’s borders.

Corn/maize is a staple of Mayan, Aztec, and Incan people for thousands of yrs...you don't eff around with their corn...

They should ban those criminal ass, welfare sucking, drive too slow in the fast lane, mariachi listening, drunk, lazy, smell like three flowers, pregnant at 13, don't know who there dads are, raider nation, park on the lawn, Budweiser drinking, sunglasses wearing asshole from coming to America.
-
Mexico has a long history of wanting only the best for it's fine citizens.
-
The judge will soon be riddled with holes.

How will this affect getbiggers and their consumption of corn from the fecal matter of comely females?

Great, now they will import corn from us.

GM corn is virulent. It displaces heirloom strains. The judge is right.

We will just shutdown the border then and send a few bombs over the fence that should open things back up.

I feel sorry for Americans, being poisoned by all the crap in their food. For a first world country how can they have the worst agriculture, food processing and food safety standards in the world. Guess it all comes down to the dollar.

That's your completely baseless opinion.
We have access to tons of Certified Non GMO products in the US. There's barely any proof GMO is harmful, we shouldn't restrict access to those who don't mind GMO.

100 years ago people were afraid of cars. Not a long time ago people were afraid of microwaves. Now everyone is paranoid about GMO.
This is hilarious.

99% of the shit they eat is derived from corn. it makes sense to me.

Define worst agriculture?
Americans farmers produce enough agriculture for the Country plus a vast surplus to be used elsewhere (ethanol for example) with less than 1% of the total population being farmers. Not saying that GM food isn't questionable by any means but our Ag is so advanced that no other Country can come close to us in efficiency and most yield of crops per % of farmers per Country. Farming here is more of an ongoing scientific study these days than 'sow seed and pray for rain' lol. I know farmers who can run their irrigation remotely with smartphones.

Baseless apart from the fact of having lived there and had to shop and eat there for a few years. I can only compare to my experiences living in Europe and other parts of the world.
Theres plenty of proof GMO is harmful. Im not talking just about GMO, you only need to walk around a typical american supermarket and open your eyes and see.
You have widespread use of GMO.
The choice of organic and free range products in minimal compared to Europe.
You permit the use of hormones and anti-biotics that are not permitted in the rest of the world (although it makes your steaks a lot better :-)
Packaged good are incredibly processed, an "equal" product such as Olivio Olive oil spread has about 50 ingredients compared to about ten in Europe, despite it allegedly being the same product, you use a wide variety of low grade mass produced, probably GMO sourced oils.
Food additives, flavour enhancers, colourings banned in Europe and most westernised countries outside the US.
Lower standards of food production by your very own american fast food companies in your own country, than they have to comply to outside of their country.
Widepsread use of hydrogenated vegetable oils and high fructose corn syrup. HFCS is barely used outside of America, despite it being linked to cardiovascular disease its everywhere in the US.
You food labelling standards dont need to list GMO, dont need to list trans fats as long as its below 0.5 grams per 100grams.
Bacterial contamination is widespread and the norm in meat production, to the point that you have to have food warnings advising against the risk of eating undercooked meat products.
Your fruit and veg is like water standing up no flavour or taste.
Im not saying america is not capable, I saw that organic foods are grown and produced, and meat is produced ethically and without drugs, but that is not the standard and not widely available.
Europe certainly has it problems and low grade mass produced food is everywhere but if you really think the US is a cut above in terms of quality produce available to the masses your deluded.

Without doubt the US is number 1 in terms of efficiency and highest yield when it comes to production. Mass production, heavy use of pesticides and fertilisers, gmo and other intesive processes does not necessarily equate to nutritionally rich food and this is where I define the US as being one of the worst.

There is more than enough proof GMO's are harmful. What proof exists that they are safe? None, the FDA doesn't require it. Also, look at what's happening to the bee population courtesy of GMO.

lol "more than enough proof GMO is harmful"
where?
why anyone would assume it's harmful in the first place is beyond me... you people do realize we have been "GMing" our "Os" for thousands of years, right? the only difference, today, is that we better understand how to manipulate the dna directly to get what we want, instead of having to pray our crossbreeding experiments work as hoped.

Crossbreeding and genetically modifying and organism by design is not the same. I don't think crossbreeding a goat with spider is possible. The aim of GMO in Monsanto's case with corn and soy is to have a crop that either produces it's own pesticide, or is able to withstand being doused in chemicals for higher yield. These efforts are being lead by greed, and you will be the on paying for their greed with your health. They don't want to feed the poor parts of the world and make them healthy, they just want more customers.

yeah that is terrifying. There is something about Gates that wouldnt suprise me if he was a supporter of genocidal population controls.
and some of his public slip ups dont help... like talking about lowerong population by a 3rd through methods such as BC and VACCINES.
Id be interested for him to expound on how vaccines will help lower population.

He got owned into oblivion as "Metabolic", so he switched accounts. He has quite the obsession with our country. ;D
Owned? I apologize for not putting my life on hold so I could communicate with you on an internet message board. Unfortunately I had to leave this great bastion of higher intelligence for 24 hours so I could do adult stuff like go to work.
Why is it that people from irrelevant 3rd world shitholes always feel the need to chime in with their worthless opinions on American politics, law, pop culture and the like?
Do Americans ever waste their time seeking out Chilean websites so they can register tough sounding Chilean names (Like Flaco or Sea Bass) on Chilean websites to create an outlet to vent their thoroughly uninformed and unsolicited opinions on goat milking or cocaine smuggling or floor mopping or whatever it is that you and your fellow countrymen contribute to this planet?
Of course not, so right off the bat- you’re a loser with a meaningless opinion and the argument is over before it begins.
It is plainly obvious that your envy for America probably stems from a combination of unhappiness and dissatisfaction with your personal life coupled with the knowledge that your country owes its existence to the US. From Spanish colony to military dictatorship controlled by US influence into … um whatever it has become today. The 4th best South American country in synchronized swimming at the Olympics?
Your inferiority complex is understandable.

They should ban those criminal ass, welfare sucking, drive too slow in the fast lane, mariachi listening, drunk, lazy, smell like three flowers, pregnant at 13, don't know who there dads are, raider nation, park on the lawn, Budweiser drinking, sunglasses wearing asshole from coming to America.

If the plants are engineered to withstand drought, poor soil and disease then some 3rd world peeps can grow food to survive. Is that good?
Poplar trees have been engineered to suck up heavy metals and chemical toxins cleaning up contaminated soil and streams...is that good?

Probably more like 'lobbying' and mutual backscratch understandings than a briefcase full of cash, but it's one of the world's biggest businesses. I'm sure no holds are barred at that level.
It's hard to say the extent to which government departments have their policies set by the same companies they're supposed to oversee. I would guess it boils down to a few submissions of junk science studies 'funded' (bought) by a company seeking approval for a new bean, drug, whatever, and an understanding that if a government man says no to them then his life is going to get worse instead of better.

its so ingrained in the US, in every level of production and business, that ir would take the end of this country as we know it to get rid of it.
ita pathetic how much clout those companies hold over this country. ... id say in the food/farm industry, but their tentacles go far far deeper than that label implies.
Our politician passed the Monsanto protection act, FFS, making them near invunerable to.... well, anything anyone could possibly throw at them.
let that sink in for a minute.... US politician s passed a bill to protect a private company from being attacked/sued/what have you.

I hadn't heard about that. Odd that an honest company would need such protection.
What I'm waiting for is sterile seeds engineered to grow into viable crops only with treatment by a Monsanto 'fertilizer.'
