Genetic Engineering in California Agriculture

[2011rhythmdivine]

Genetics is really a great deal for plants and animals alike. I'm glad reports tell us of an improvement of species by doing genetic engineering. Congrats!

There will be protests regarding genetic engineering/modification in california and throughout the U.S. on 3/26/11.

Go to "Rally for the Right to Know" on facebook, for more information.

Go to the "organicconsumers" website to sign petitions.

Legalize genetic engineering of marijuana in November...

The California Marijuana Trojan Horse initiative.

Goethe was a real scientist. he would never have allowed genetic engineering

the closest thing this babyfood video ever got close to showing how the food is engineered is a petri dish and a lady cutting a tomato. where's a video on actually DOING the engineering? if i wanted to watch sesame street, i'd turn on PBS.

@opaquetranslucence the major parts are the gold bullet model which penetrates the cell walls and disolves to allow GM material to bind with the organsms DNA. there are chemicals created by bacteria and viruses that are used to splice the DNA. basicaly ripping off bacteria's propagation ability to enginneer its own DNA to allow diversification. virus which infect cells have cutting chemicals and mending chemicals, they can be made by chemical enginnering to thus rip open DNA and fuse it!SCARY

cool vid

Einstien121 - outside of the lab, GMO's cannot be kept from breeding. Most crops MUST 'breed' to produce; ie grain & seed crops. The genetic modifications have already spread - to formerly organic crops & related native species through pollen.

Organic farmers have lost crops (and maybe thier certif organic staus), and been sued by the patent holders (industrial agri corperations) - though the patent holders failed to contain their genetic contaminants (GMOs).

Among other concerns..

@Jefferdaughter there are difrent types of redroductiong both sexual and asexual, so you dont really need a "father" plant to cross polinate with a "mother" plant, she just gets lonely and releases her own pollen into herself lol

Guys please also watch "Poison on the Platter" Very informative documentary!

Around 2000 foods stopped beeing tasty.Where is the flavours we once had???

[KidsandKarma]

@kikibortok: you're aging. As a person gets older we don't taste the subtleties of flavor as well.

im gonna genetically engineer a four assed monkey!!!

[shineon1967]

all science is plagiarism

[Einstien121]

if you create a GM organism you have to keep it from breeding or it would be like an alien invasion but the only change is that this invasion would not harm humans much

More than great video. More people just need to become aware of this invisible epidemic.

There are no "safer" herbicides than what is being used today really- 15:00

Although I used to have a zebra fish and Ive seen those glow fishes around at pet stores.Maybe they've changed their decision...

Notice Its always about the manufactures- as long as theyre happy and eating our money they dont care what happens to people.

[Einstien121]

ya your right i would suggest selective breeding

its much more safe

nice video, i'm an italian biotech and i can say that this vid is good, nice one, u explain simply how is the world of GMO in the USA unfortunately in italy GMO are not approved and this is sad for our research. sorry for my englisch.

if you want to solve air pollution problems, start with the soil.

at ten minutes in, what a load of rubbish. You have the sickest nation on the planet, and you are all getting fatter and sicker by the year. you caused these illnesses and are now looking for ways to fight them. win win=money. utter rubbish. i do approve of genetic research but not willy nilly making money. you can't eat money, did you know that? potatoes not prozac. tryptophan not mental instability.
