Are you eating Genetically Modified foods (GMOs) Without Knowing It? (Probably...)

[slowmopoke]

my local farmer hates me...his daughter loves me..so does his wife....and his sheep...

[MrAppleseed88]

It is a sin that organic food is 3-5 times more then the poison shit they feed us.

[lee8264]

@MrAppleseed88 In Canada with the gas prices the way they are organic is starting to compete with the GMOs.The more you and i buy organic foods the cheaper they become.Drink water out of the tap forget about that can of coca-cola the morning starbucks coffee forget that as well.The first step to eating smart is budgeting a diet and i don't mean wieght loss.If everyone made an effort at this the world will have to change because the choices we make at the grocery store decide how the world is run

[EllieJelly11]

Genetically modified food is the future, and scientists are using genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to learn about them , and see the good effects and the bad effects of them so that we know we are safe when we are eating them.

[centurion180ad]

She is missing the point.

GMO releases into the environment as an ICBM launches. Once it comes out of its silo, it may never be recalled. The insane criminals releasing GMO, are contaminating our entire planet FOREVER.

[boxa888]

@centurion180ad DO SOMETHIN THEN JUST SIT THERE!!spread organic heirloom food seed far and wide, its called"johnny appleseed economics"or"gorrila gardens",spread more organic food than GMO and you will water down the effects and if everyone becomes self suffcient at their homes it will stop GMO right in its tracks,if there is enough people it will save our food system,thats how you win! wake up everyone,do your part if u are angry,get seed and SPREAD THE ORGANIC SEED EVERYWHERE TELL OTHERS

[Canuck4Truth]

get heirloom seeds and grow your own.

[m3tallih0lic]

Shelly Roche is my hero <3

[cyndrellian]

supposedly corn byproduct and fruct. corn syrup promotes obesity and fuels cancer cell growth

[ratkillerinparadise]

Some of these foods have built-in pesticides and herbicides. When you eat the food, you are eating the pesticides and herbicides. Ever wonder what is causing the current surge in diabetes and high blood pressure?

[CouldNotCareLes]

@ratkillerinparadise - there is no GMO that produces it's own herbicide.

What are you talking about?

Les

[ratkillerinparadise]

@CouldNotCareLes I should have said "built in bug repellent" instead. Researchers have created plants that kill insects by disrupting their gene expression.  This is worse than using herbicides or pesticides. Scientists have also genetically modified sweet corn so that it produces a poison which kills harmful insects. What will it do to our genes? The scientists say it won't hurt us but they always say that.

[CouldNotCareLes]

@ratkillerinparadise I guess I would rather risk ingesting a naturally occurring soil bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis) than the myriad of insecticides that have been used on cereal crops since the 1930's.

Have you ever handled a synthetic insecticide? Just mixing one tank of Asana would leave me shaking for the rest of the day. Now, thanks to GMOs, no one uses it anymore.

Les

[ratkillerinparadise]

@CouldNotCareLes ok

[ratkillerinparadise]

@CouldNotCareLes

[quickturtle]

Canola......? I thought canola was good for you. I use it to cook my fish all the time. Maybe I better look at olive oil or safflower...........thanks

[DuoSonic87]

@quickturtle

You'd be surprised, even Olive Oil is extremely bad to Cook with. It gets rancid very fast, it's only good in cold form.

Lard, Butter, Coconut oil are ideal for pan frying, as well as bacon grease. It sounds like the complete opposite of what we've been told, but it's the truth.

Check out some of UndergroundWellness' videos.

[TheBadAssCanadian]

Fish (haddock etc...) dipped in a mixture of buckwheat and Millet flour and fried in organic butter is a really great way to cook. Lots of flavor. Coconut oil is also great for cooking seafood. Adds a pleasant taste. It's also the most heat stable of all the fats. Good for you, too.

[PindzMedia]

Thanks

[KrishnaConscious]

very hot chick, very useless information

[seraphimWILLunite]

useless info, lol?

get a brain.

[ShrapnelSong]

And if you dont want to eat GMO meat, raise guinea pigs in your back yard, and eat those.

/sarcasm

[lordp3master]

Whats wrong with eating GMO? It the same food that we have eaten before.

[Hairylegs25]

Buy organic and/or locally grown foods because conventional food is nutritionally deficient and is the cause of increased cancer rates. what I'm saying is common knowledge to people who inform themselves about the truth. if you doubt what I'm saying, look it up yourself.

[WOLFURDAL]

How is the %-part of genetically tuned farmland in the states and canada? Once I was reading it would be already 85%. Is this really true?

[wykydron89]

"This video is most popular with Males 25-34"....i wonder why ;)

[WellnessMafia]

Great advice - i never knew the labeling that identified GMO before. Thanks for that! I will pass that on thanks.

[WHEREtheFUNK]

thanks for this. we grow our own. We can for winter. There are days when we eat the wrong stuff.

[ObiRawKenobi]

Foxy.

[foodallergyangel]

All those with food allergies or caring for kids with food allergies... read the book Unhealthy Truths by Robyn O'Brien.

Thanks for highlighting the dangers of GMO's. They need to be labeled!!

[sonatadude]

You always do awesome videos. No tv dinners for this guy!!! thanks

[fishbuc11]

runrandrun  August 20th moneybomb!!!

[Twiggy269]

By the way, you've only addressed 1 of my 4 questions posed to you.

Surprise Surprise it was the easiest question of the bunch.

[TJMonster51]

The rest are answered int he movie.

And I only have 500 characters.

Not to mention the context of your questions are so vague its hard to even answer them.

Its like answering the self defense question, its the intentions of people that will determine the case self defense or not.

See the case against monsanto in the movie I said to google, them come back with your questions. Know the case against them so your questions are more specific.

[Twiggy269]

its questions designed to expose your thought process....if you even have one.

Pushed through where, by whom, the answer is obivous, pushed through federal testing and regulatory regimes that get to decide what is safe for citizens to consume. So, its obivous that the government gets to decide what companies stay in business and which ones don't. This is what i was trying to get you to talk about, do you agree with the process? I would say yes you do.

[TJMonster51]

Ok, in the movie it shows that the Bush sr deregulated the process so they didn't have to have as much testing. Please just watch the movie. I can't explain it in 500 characters.

If your statement was true about government deciding what company stays and goes, there wouldn't be lobbyists and campaign funding by large corporations.

In order for you to see what I see, you will have to do 2 things. 1 watch the movie, 2 read a book on memetics.

[TJMonster51]

Here is another good video

watch?v=94d-KVorSHM

Saddly, she only talks in a very simplified manner about these things but they are aimed at people that have already researched this subject.

[pro404]

when she said there are numerous concerns, what she meant to say was there is a lot of stuff that gets blown out of proportion by people who don't understand science

[IndigoAxiom]

There is a difference in plants between changing a single nucleotide base and moving in whole genes from another organism. Both are called GMOs, but one is ridiculously more intrusive and potentially dangerous then the other.

[bertly71]

I like the idea of buying food from the farmers market. The food is fresh and it directly helps the farmer.

[dodow1234]

well I like the idea of sleeping with her

[IndigoAxiom]

I want the same thing. What a fuck to be had!

[KINGPHILIP2000]

wow Visfen is having a fit... lol... we'll see what they say when he/she is on dialysis for a failing kidney after too High Fructose Corn Syrup... lol

[Twiggy269]

GMO's are not the bad guys here.

The government running it, is what makes it bad.

The "Nanny State" takes away all of our "Tough" choices like, who to buy food from, if we trust the product, ect...

we have a government agency to protect us from bad food! ...

Turns normal citizens into drones.

Then we blame the scientists and researchers that give us enhanced food as the bad guys.

Sounds like a good deal to me if i'm the government middle man.

[TJMonster51]

Some were pushed through without through and proper testing.

Second, monsanto owns a patent on most of the GMO's in which mate with nonGMO organic plants and turn those seeds into the Monsanto GMO patented seed. So if they plant them, Monsanto files lawsuits on the farm and shuts it down or forces them to buy into the monsanto business. GMO's would be great if greed and control wasn't the driving force behind it.

[Twiggy269]

"Some were pushed through without through and proper testing"

Pushed through where, by whom? Who gets to decide if it has been properly tested?

"Monsanto files lawsuits on the farm and shuts it down"

Do you have something against intellectual property rights?

If not greed running the business (which newsflash here buddy, every business runs on the PROFIT motive, well, atleast every respectable business)

What should be the "motive" for businessmen to do business if its not greed?

[TJMonster51]

Google" the world according to monsanto".

Theres nothing wrong with them owning their product, problem being, their product is set up to monopolize the market which, is illegal. And do you really want a company like monsanto that has been caught time and time again lying about how safe their products are owning all the food in the world?

[TJMonster51]

"Do you have something against intellectual property rights?"

No, but inst Monsanto infringing on the rights of others by changing the structure of the plants people are trying to grow. They should be sued for manipulating people crops. Its a form of vandalism.

[Twiggy269]

I don't have enough (if any) information about this specific topic you've brought up to challenge it, i would simply say, if monsanto is altering other peoples property then claiming it as their own afterward, that is a clear example of the necessity of government to mitigate contracts and protect individuals against fraud and theft. The problem is, our government has its fingers in so many places it shouldn't be, it can't even do the very very small list of things it SHOULD be doing properly.

[Twiggy269]

"their product is set up to monopolize the market which, is illegal."

There is no such thing as a monopoly in a free market, the only way a monopoly can exist is through government manipulation of the market.

Do I want a lying company owning all the food in the world....?

Well, who leaves their food on the shelves in America? You can't sell s**t in America w/o the governments stamp of approval. So who should we blame? The corrupt company? Or the government that keeps them in business?

[rayme4raw]

There is no independent research on GMO's because Congress has made impossible to do research on GMO's unless you have the permission of the GMO manufacturer. Guess what, they don't give it. They really should not allow a food product to go on the shelf that has no transparency whatsoever.

[Leakyleper]

Very good info. Thanks.

[musclegrab]

I trust Whole Foods much more than the FDA.

[rayme4raw]

For now, Whole Foods is moving towards natural brands instead of USDA Organic brands. Natural doesn't mean anything according to US standards, while USDA Organic has strict standards which they are suppose to follow. Why is Whole Foods moving towards Natural which would lower it's standards to nothing. I like Whole Foods for some products, but I think that they are becoming the Walmart of health food. Soon we will have to avoid them if they continue on this path.

[musclegrab]

that's interesting and good to know.

personally, i try to avoid things why are high in pesticides and overly priced and likely to rot more quickly amongst organic things. its great to be organic but as a single person i often can't eat something before it goes bad and pay a higher price to boot.

my point is that there are companies that have tighter standards on food than the FDA. if we had no FDA, we would get private entities providing the same function for those that want it

[cole91v]

GREAT INFO. 

Do you know about trader joe's? Its a market I shop at, I find it to make the process much easier.

[masonwatcher68]

It's great having a stunning women,educating people on real news!

We need more like her,to get the message over,that not all earth savers,have beards,and sandals!

[hiphopper420w]

check out the health ranger channels and it tells u what to look for etc

[P3coTrain]

thats the best info I have got all day! thanks and will share

[llvlladfuker]

yeah stick to the script Lou Dobbs

NWO Only answers the pre-set ??'s

like no mention of J.F.K. COUP IN 63

no mention of the right n left being the same SKULL & BONES MASON'S

get ON message Lou or u will be tasered

to death like that other political reporter on the SUNDAY TV SHOW

grow up Lou dont u know its NOT about

answering or pandering to some stupid free speech OUT DATED IDEAL

for the good of ur family LOU get on

message Govt isnt ur SERVANT UR OURS

[ResistanceNational]

Grow your own food. What more can I say. Even a small yard can provide much of your veggie supply.

[manque15]

never a truer word was spoke!

[rayme4raw]

Gardening went up 40% this year and it will be huge in 2010.

[Axbent]

@ResistanceNational most small yard can make u enough to eat and sell

[viktermore]

thanks. you are great.

[OffTheElitists]

Leave my fries alone!!!!

[GunOwnerDan]

I remember a few years ago a crop of GMO corn was found to have toxic pollen that was killing insects.

It's not possible for us to know all the possible consequences of creating these frankenstein plants.

One day we could do a lot of harm to life on earth as we know it without even realizing it until it's too late.

[llshamelessll]

gmo corn is classified as a pesticide, do you want to eat that?

[llshamelessll]

many studies have shown that gmo food introduces foreign protiens into the body that damage organs...allergic reactions and death have been noted also. they are not safe...they just take a long time to kill you

[PressForFreedom]

Hi Shelly! Just picked some fresh Okra, delicious! Mangos are looking good, and a buddy just gave me some beautiful longans. Eat well, be well!

[nilesmc]

Shelly is super fantastic! Thanks a bunch about the plu#'s.

Only eating locally grown and 9**** from now on.

[Visfen]

Buying local is not sure to be more environmentally friendly or better for you.

I did a study where I compared local farmers milk with that of the largest producer in the country, Arla. We found out that Arla is actually more environmentally friendly because the dairy for the local milk is so far away that it basically is transported twice the range as big biz milk.

The fact is that all food we eat has been at least genetically selected over 9000 years

I don't see what the problem with GMO is

[leebob86]

You don't see a problem!!!! You must be part of the problem. So it is ok to crossbreed salmon and strawberries? Just so you know WE THE PEOPLE are on to your' NWO. Have a nice day.

[Visfen]

Yes, I don't see the problem, which might have something to do with the fact that I'm a scientist and we believe in facts - not conspiracies.

Crosbreed salmon and strawberries, haha, yeah if you're serious you don't know what GMO even is.

We already have extensively genetically selected food, what is the problem there? Should we go back to eating banans, coco beans, wheat and corn found in the wild? Billions would starve.

[HaarlemmerHewe]

There is countless evidence to support the idea that gmo food is very dangerous for our health. Better believe that the military industrial complex manipulates agriculture to suit their ends. Monsanto has bribed many nations into overlooking evidence of cancerous effects and more so that there product would be placed on our shelves. We were not given the information by the media so we got used to eating poison. It is our fault and the video here says EAT LOCALLY - KNOW YOUR FARMER thats change

[Squirelbutt]

Okay fact. Monsanto seeds are designed to be poison resistant. Fact poison is sprayed on them. End result the public isnt poison resistant and consumes it. People are starving now because governement take over of farm lands and price fixing to force farmers to drop growing crops due to cost of production and overpriced seeds. It is a monopoly.

[Visfen]

Tip: wash the fucking plants before you eat them hippie, or better yet. Don't eat it at all! I don't have a problem with it, you do, fine, use your choice and a consumer.

So GMO is to blame for what the government does now. Wow, you drones are really going over board with this.

Man this is a non issue. This is like people whining about a brand of toilet paper being too rough. Just don't fucking use it, what is the problem?

[letsridetricycles]

that's exactly what the vid is about.. choosing not to use certain products. what's your problem?

if your talking about people talking about the gov.. the gov has no right to use our money to subsidize a certain type of food.

you seem miserable.

[Visfen]

Yeah, I'm responding to the hippies that went on a tantrum against me for expressing my opinion that buying local isn't sure to be the best idea and that all food is at least genetically selected.

The government has no right to subsidize anything.

Hippies pisses me of. People without job, prospect, education or ambition that preach their conspiracies and throw dirt at anyone who doesn't believe in their twisted pathetic world view.

[nbrainshutdown]

Well lets see... RoundUp ready soy and corn for example. They used bacteria resistant to the herbicide genes and included them in the plants. Wonderful! All the food safety test were bypassed and no one knows what the longterm

effects. You think this can be compared with selected food?! And you say you are a scientist. Oh boy I guess you have to go back to the study os the scientific method. You might just try eat organic for a while and see the diference. Good luck with your ignorance.

[rayme4raw]

When I switched over to eating organic after about 8 months I noticed that if I ate produce that used pesticides, I can taste the pesticides, it's sort of a metallic taste, very disgusting.

[Visfen]

Yes, it can definitely be compared with selected food. If you do not understand that then you don't know how much the food we have selected over generation has changed.

I don't even eat selected food because the nutrition is so much lower, but I have no problem whatsoever with letting companies grow and develop GMO.

You alex jones crazies need to go the fuck away. Crazy hippies that are making it impossible for people to get trough facts that are in line with some of the thing he bring up.

[Drumvain]

You are full of shit.

[BGBurch]

You'll need to do some research on this as I think she's on the right track. They use one organism and mix with another. Not natural at all - not like grafting or saving and selecting from one crop yield to another. Many scientist around the world and native people warn against these product. The likes of Monsanto are suspect for profit motive only. We need to care for the earth and humanity as we are in and on this earth together.

[Visfen]

Mix with another? No, that is not at all what they do. They alter the genetic structure trough genetic engineering, making it possible to grow wheat in the desert, bananas in winter climate and so on.

It is not natural to live in huge cities, but we do it because to wield nature to our benefit.

Who cares if they do it for profit motive, profit motive is a great motive.

The only problem I see is when GMO is not maintained and control and spread in the wild.

[Squirelbutt]

By altering genetic structure its vitamin propertys and such are also altered. Insect resistance means it doesnt digest well with humans. Because you making an abundance of it with no nutricianal value starves people. At a profit.

[Drumvain]

So you admit you are full of it.

GMO and monsanto are trying to get control over our food supply not help develop A better seed. That's what they designed the terminator seed for, control.

Wake Up! You are not A scientist.

[ChrmdLabradorite]

That was worded extremely well, BGBurch.

[BGBurch]

Thanks - As a Native American saying goes, "May the sun warm your heart, and the earth warm your feet."

[Visfen]

Well, at least I'm not some Alex Jones drone that believe in crazy conspiracies.

[lighthammar]

people wonder why cancer is the #1 killer in N.America.

Lobbyists control North America, and we allow them to poison the average population that can't afford the organic stores.

[jdkbriggs]

Thanks, Shelly.

[angelinatiger]

gmos are not allowed in europe. it is absolutely disgusting that it is in all of the food in the usa. organic food is more expensive and "they" know this too!! and, ofcourse, just like with chemtrails, the PEOPLE of the usa are not told. this is genocide and it is evil. i try and buy organic foods as much as possible but it is not easy.

thanks for this info

The Future of Food film is now on hulu

thanks for the info

[lightleague]

keep kickin' bu%%

[labartic]

so do you own firearms?

[RestrainedNoMore]

good information! It is very important. Gm products are found in almost anything OC medicine, household products, beauty products as well as food.

Go organic as much as possible

[Steenville]

I didn´t know so much food was GMO- horrible. It should never have been allowed.

[verdantforce88]

ya GMO should be illegal.

[NascarL4806]

Thanks Shelly! You rock!

[RCinPAWA]

#5: Grow your own food, at least some of it.

[notscooter952]

Do you?

[RCinPAWA]

Yes. I have an unfair advantage now that I live on acreage. But even when I lived in an apartment I grew tomatoes and peppers figuring every little bit helps.

[notscooter952]

I just picked 4 tomatoes and three foot long cucumbers yesterday. Peppers aren't ready yet though.

[RCinPAWA]

I'm way behind schedule this year due to having moved last month but the eggplant are just now ready and the tomatoes are blooming. Trying to grow some late okra and just started planting fall garden - collards and chard first but more to come in the next few weeks.

[davidnightingale]

Excellent vid. Introducing things that are non native has a long history and many disasters. In australia they introduced rabbits, there was a plague of rabbits so the introduced foxes to control them and the foxes ate the marsupials opps! Then in the UK we have rampent Rhododendrons and Giant Hogweed both escaped from cultivation. So if folks are worried about the environment GMO may be more dangerous than a gas that plants need to grow.
