Damn... people eating GMO food and now slowly turning into insects?

[Rami]

  Yeah, the foods that are dangerous are dangerous in themselves and don't need any genetic modifications to be dangerous. Soy is a good exmple of that. It doesen't want you to eat it, so it produces estrogen-like compounds that act as birth control pills for the mammals that feed on it, such as Humans. If that weren't bad enough, the polynsaturated fats found in soy cause increased inflammation, oxidative stress and increased need for vitamin E. Soy is the worst thing you could eat.

So why are the Asians ( Chinese ) so many then, since soy ( natural that is )  is one of their golden 5 staple crops?



Monsanto corn, same thing, also produces insecticides.

Some of the native corn in Mexico (for lack of a better term--heirloom varieties) are being over-run by Monsanto genetically engineered varieties.

The most disturbing aspect of the GMO evolution is the non-pollinating varities.  If they cannot be pollinated, then you will need to have seed for each year, obviously purchasing from Monsanto.

this is one of the reasons for the various doomsday seed vaults being built.

  Actually, the amount of soy that Asians eat is very small. The stapple of their diets is rice, vegetables and fish. Soy is used as seasoning and even then only sparingly.

  The reason why Asians have such good health has nothing to do with soy. They are genetically very lean with no tendency to store fat around the midsection, which is where fat is most dangerous, they eat healthy meats like fish with lots of green vegetables, they have a low overall caloric intake which prolongs life and most Asians are physically a lot more active than Westerners. Soy is a negative.

so the logic is, soy is bad, so it's just fine to modify it to produce insecticides and then feed it to people anyway?

you can feed the world with refined sugar cane. but is it good for you? HELL NO

If you have the option of eating nothing or eating refined sugar which would you choose waddy? Are you telling me if you were in the desert starving you would turn down a Big Mac? If that is the case you are a bigger fool then previously thought.

if you were to feed a poor population Big Mac less people would get fed and survive than if you used the same area to grow corn and rice etc that you would use to produce live animals.

  What? You mean they have modified soy to make insecticides? I am not aware of this, but just because something is toxic to an insect it doesen't mean it is toxic to mammals. But you are right. Some insecticides, like organophosphates, are toxic to both insects and mammals. But lots of plants already produce natural insectices anyway. For instance, tomatoes produce nicotine to kill insects that prey on it, and Humans eat tomatoes. The amount of nicotine is very small and kills the insects that feed on it, but is almost harmless to a Human. Coffee produces caffeine as a drug to paralize insects and caffeine has many psychotropic benefits to Humans. In the case of soy, though, you shouldn't be eating it anyway. Regular soy is already bad enough for you. But I agree with you that if they are modifying harmless plants to produce insecticides and those insecticides are proven to be bad for Humans, then you shouldn't eat it. But will it cause genetic mutations to the people eating them? No. Genetic engineering of plants can be very good. For instance, genetically engineered vines can produce hundreds of times more resvaratrol, which is highly antioxidant and beneficial to the cardiovascular system. Genetic engineering is not bad: what can be bad is what you do with it.

weve never had the option of eating nothing, we dont need to eat denatured or modified food either that poses any risks. food is not scarce at all

look at all the potential land to grow food that is around you, that shitty bush in your front yard wouldve easily been a fruit bearing tree instead if we under a sane leadership

soy is a more of a medicinal crop and needed in smaller dosages, you should base your diet around it

So, Fat Buddha is incorrect, I've seen tons of fat bellied Asian men, and what about Sumo wrestlers? Big Belly, Big Belly, toast and Jelly.

  Very few Asians are obese. And they tend to accumulate fat in the buttocks and thigs unlike Weterners who accumulate in the waist. Sumo wrestlers are a very bad example because they force feed themselves to become that fat. They are not representatives of Asians. And Buddha was a Hindu and Hindus are Caucasians, and he wasn't fat just because some statues represent him as such. You are wrong on all counts. You are retarded.

Monsanto is also being sued, but it will probably fail.
