  • I only date vegans: TAKE THAT! :-P.

  • I fucking love red meat.

  • In the developed world, nearly half of all landfills are made up of food. Look it up yourself. With such a massive level of food waste, why are companies like Monsanto turning to GMO products? For profit. If they cared about feeding the world, they'd be teaching people to waste less. These are the same people who put their buddies in the US congress to oppose food safety standards

  • I am sick of people justifying the mass production of food and genetical modification by saying that is necessary in order to feed the world. This wasnt created as the solution to overpopulation, but is actually part of the cause. The need for corporations to increase profits has gone to the extremes of affecting population, and now people are dependent on it to the point of no return

  • i dont think there would bea problem feeding everyone on non GMO food if we werent using all of the land and resources for livestock and factory farming. vegetables by themselves yield much much more food per acre than animals do. gmo or not

  • You start ranting about GMO food, lemme tell ya something, the whole MAIN reason wheat was invented is to feed to livestock and humans.

    let me toss out some wicked sweet stats for your hair bro dude.

    70 lbs of wheat = 1lb of meat.

    upto 12,000 gallons of FRESH water =1lb of meat

    type that into google.

  • i am a vegetarian

    and i love your hair <3

  • I have two very unrelated things to say about your video.

    1. You have exactly 1/2 likes, and 1/2 dislikes. This Pleases me.

    2.Canada flag.

    Now I have one thing to say that IS related to your video: If the bugs won't eat it, neither will I. I don't care what you eat, but I trust the judgment of insects .

  • I just like Tool in the back ground

  • the reason I eat organic food is because I actually find there's a difference in organic and genetically modified stuff sprayed in pesticides. I'm a vegetarian for a completely different reason that I like organic fruit/vegetables.

  • this is nonsense - there has been more than enough to feed the world since the mid 80s We don't feed the starving because if we did we would be poor because they could compete with us. Get over it and just be glad you happened to be in one of the countries on top - for now. GM is politically and ecologically a disaster - the last thing this planet needs is more people.

  • Obviously there is a need to produce enough food to feed the people. But the truth here is that our bodies aren't physically equipped to process food that has been genetically modified. Just go read about some the of the negative health effects of eating genetically modified foods. Also, developed countries produce a large surplus of food(in the interest of capital, not social welfare), and this surplus would not be affected if all of our foods were organically produced.

  • A nutritionally adequate vegan diet needs only a tenth of the photosynthetic production. Suck on an organic lolly-pop and watch a video about the terminator seeds of Monsanto.

  • Thank you for expression your opinion.It is very hard those days to talk about Food and eating animals without getting angry comments.

    I deeply believe that the second generation of GMOs are an improvement, even if their regulation could be improved.

  • love meat but get a hair cut :P

  • Interestingly enough, the harvest of organic matter means the death of a fuckload of animals, since a field of grain is home to many mice and rabbits. you silly vegetarians. I guess eating all of the plants on the earth, which are our only source of oxygen, will somehow save the planet.

  • @murphyhurtme We are not eating the rainforest, nor the plankton or cyanobacterias in the oceans which together is the largest contributer of oxygen. An organic lifestyle aimes to preserve theese things, while the conventional one is destroying them.

  • Although being a veggie is generally thought to be good for you, for men eating nothing but soya (a shitty alternative for most vegetarian and vegan fags) can increase the risk of losing one's meat. Soya contains a chemical known as genistein which is very similar to oestrogen, a major female hormone. As any good transexual knows, men who receive female hormones begin to take on female traits such as titties, genital bleeding (usually after his dick falls off), and eventually, a mangina.

  • The reason why the rest of the world is hungry is because of dictators and commies they try to "ration" everything if every country was democratic and old school american style capitalist shit wouldnt be that way and we could end world hunger and maybe even have world peace!!!

  • Using GMO's to feed the hungry is just another bandaid, a temporary solution. We never seem to care about WHY things don't work, or ever try to fix the REAL problems, like pollution contributed poor water and soil conditions? I wonder what temporary solutions will we have to come up with when GMO's become the problem? When everyone starts becoming even sicker, when GMO's and the terminator gene find their way into everything and there is no natural food left, who will be hungry then?

  • People can grow their own food anyway.

  • It's probebly more the meat industry, than Gmo, they protest about.

  • Comment removed

  • This is fucked up, the GMO bullshit implies that people won't make their own way. Stop smoking pot, you're not that smart to afford dead brain cells.

  • i <3 Canadian meat eating smart people

  • I believe, that it takes more land to raise feed for animals to be slaughtered than it would to use the land to feed people with the corn or grain products used as animal feed. So, instead of using more GMO products how about lowering our consumption of meat and eating more grains?? Just a thought

  • Oh, and good on ya for liking Nine Inch Nails. :)

  • Don't listen to what some of these posters are saying.

    1. Your point is valid, and factual. None of it is based on opinion, but more your opinion is based on fact.

    2. You made your point in a very logical, and practical way, rather than just saying you are right and others are wrong cause you say so, like some of these idiots that are commenting.

    3. I don't see why your age has anything to do with if your point is valid. You are very well spoken regardless of your age.

    4. Your hair is nice.

  • Wow I totally agreed with everything you just said. You are much more intelligent than you look (not that you look bad or anything)

    Finally an informed youtuber! Thank u, I subbed

  • omg... Cut your hair :S

  • good point. humans must stop their uncontrolled population growth and the agriculture is one of the main problems.

    the real service to the earth is human population control

  • FOOD INC watch it.

  • This type of fool is one of the major reasons why it's an embarrassment to be called a human being these days. Take a teenage spoiled brat with a low IQ and watch him spout inane drivel with the conviction of an inquisitor dog.

  • I only protest against animals treated bad in circus and drug testing of animals and that's pretty much it. I don't protest against eating of animals because that is something people believe in.

  • good video,

  • The thing I don't like about GMO food is this. If scientist produce a GMO grain that's toxic to an insect, what the hell is it going to do to us in the long run? That craps going to send us all to an early grave, starving problem solved then. You can bet that the rich people in the world don't eat it, they can afford the high priced organic food. Let the sheep eat the modified stuff and die of cancer.

  • Good video. Promoting an informed opinion on a matter is always a better way to make decisions affecting your choices in life. The only thing I would include is the suggestions that they also do it in an objective matter taking both sides into account. Education after all is a lifelong endeavor.

  • 1.Vegetarian/vegans is a completely separate category than organic foodies.

    2. Do you honestly think because our GMO food can feed the world, that is what were doing? its not, were not sending any food to starving countries. GMO was made to increase profits, not feed the poor.

    Because you saw an episode of penn and teller, does not make you an expert on the subject.

    3. cut your fucking hair

  • you and the long haired kid have a point or two. However the big picture is, all natural foods are much more expensive to produce and come in less numbers. America doesn't have a starving issue and more of the world starves due to other reasons than the production of food, however to say no to GMO foods would destroy an economy and make it nearly impossible for desert areas in america to have food, due to transportation and cost.

  • GMO actually are worse for crops, even though they do initially yield more produce, because they impoverish the terrain sooner, yielding less, and most of all they are made so that farmers have to buy the seeds time and time again instead of getting them from the earlier harvest, as was done before. I have been told (this bit is based on conversations, I could be wrong) that GMO are made in a way that makes it harder for the earth to go back to organic, so as to force farmers to stay GMO.

  • If you want an actual reference, please read vandana Shiva (the new water wars is a really good one)

    This is what I have been told by my social/economic professor at Uni, I'm sure it is more than debatable.

    On another note, GMO really has nothing to do with vegan/vegetarian diets.

    Some vegetarians decide to go roganic, but they are separate issues. I know some people who buy organic meat (we have specific organic butchers here)

  • @OpinionatedVegan First point: Fair enough, good point.

    Second point: It's used for both, More than likely mostly for profit, but at the same time, still used for both.

    And also, he never insulted anyone in this vid. He also never claimed to be an expert. Grow up.

    Third point: Shows your not only opinionated about what food we should eat, but also how we look, which makes you essentially no better than a Nazi. I refer to the last two words of the Second point: Grow up.

  • @OpinionatedVegan Cut your fucking throat.

  • This is a strong point, for people here not getting it, taking out GMO means the population would exceed the food supply, meaning that alot of people would starve to death, instead of protesting, go learn some bio and start finding a better way to feed the world.

  • Wow finally an intelligent counter-argument. I chose to be vegan for the environment and health reasons. I dropped 50 lbs because of it.

  • your so right

    I hate it when people say their against gmo foods because its "unnatural". Farmers have been genetically modifying foods since they have been harvesting them, just at a lesser scale, choosing seeds from the more healthier, resistant plants. Now with science we are able to feed more people. And contrary to what some people say, GMO FOODS DONT HAVE ANIMAL GENES!

    I wish people would get their facts straight!

    by the way i am vegan.

  • yea youre right we couldnt support everyone ........ and i dont really see whats so terrible about GMO vegetables etc.

    .... organic doesnt necessarily mean healthier

  • well actually, yeilds so have have been higher than gmo crops, and the long term health effects have not been established. you should really further educate yourself on the issue, have you heard of Monsanto? look into it for real, don't just go to the website, learn.

  • Read the wikipedia entry for GMO for examples of serious problems. Not definitive, but worth seeing.

    I oppose GMO because it contaminates my food supply, because it is likely unnecessary(a gamble), and because of negative effects being swept under the rug by an industry working for profit, despite possibly having great impact on the ecosystem we rely on.

  • So we should continue the "food/population race" infinitely?

    Also, some sources show that GMO has not been the great improvement that is claimed. That predicted yields have not been met. Farming practices have far more impact than tech. Some GMO yields fall behind the standard.

    Unaddressed health/environmental concerns do exist.

    It's a money grab, for the most part.

    Monocrop ag is unsustainable anyway, regardless of "improvements".

    I'm not veg, btw.

    Another view:

    watch?v=pPRJQpWhE0o

  • (clarification)... by "fall behind the standard." I'm referring to standard crops, not the standards set for GMO, in case that wasn't clear.

  • Great points!

    We are so lucky that we get to choose what we eat, a lot of people around the world would starve if they were as picky as we are.

    Its good to avoid GMOs if you can, but they do feed people.

    You're adorable as well!

  • I'm a vegan and this rant is a breath of fresh air in all the anti-vegan videos on YouTube (Not that you're specifically anti-vegan, which I suppose is why). Very nicely put!

  • I'm a vegan and when I can I use organic food I do. I'm not a vegan to protest, but I did once do a research paper on this. A good 4 pages and well I see your point, but I do see that GMO's have a bad side as well, but you do have a GREAT point! I LOVE how you were mature and didn't swear like most people do! This is a great way to express yourself, I wish others would follow your footsteps. :)

  • Thank you for accepting an opsing view i wish most vegans were like you.

  • Organics and veggies do not necessarily have the same views.

  • GMO and GEO works on agriculture becuase 70% of all corn and grain in the world goes to feed animals raised for food. They have to feed the animals that they are producing.

    Unlike alot of people on youtube, you were very respectful in your video towards vegs.

    I am a vegan, and I hate when people think that my choice to be so is stupid, and they really don't know what they are talking about.

    Though you are informed and nice, so thank you :D

  • Me.

  • No.. It doesn't "just make sense" to overpopulate the world in order to mutate the plants & animals. Who gives a damn about your mcdonalds?

  • so the idea that food is being wasted on cows is wrong. And even IF it were true, with gmo there's no need to stop feeding cows, which would inherently starve to death if these vegans got their wish. durrr

  • well put yeah, but I find the angry rants to be more amusing haha I don't understand why some people are against gmo. So what? Vegans in particular like to boast that if we gave all the foods cows eat to the starving population it would solve world hunger, which is false. First of all, most hunger is caused by poverty, not lack of food (the obesity of america has already proven there's enough food on the planet to go around)

  • And props for the Canadian flag.

    Representing (:

  • Haha yeah I love you.

    Your absolutely right, about it all.

    And they don't realize that the plants they eat for their salad was once a living thing.

    Carrots were once a living thing.

    So were tomatoes.

    It bugs me.

    They still eat things that were once a living thing

    And yet they protest against the whole concept?

    Lame.

    Well put (:

  • That was very well put,

    And very mature.

    I have nothing against GMO and GEO techniques

    Like it's GREAT that we found a way to double or even triple our crops

    But im very against them using it with animals

    I turned veggie to stop animal cruelty

    well that's one of the reasons anyway!

  • first off, you're a cutie. second, if people want to help save the environment, USE A CONDOM!!.

  • Thank you for being so well-spoken and not being immature about this topic.

  • Go three weeks on a strictly organic diet and you'll feel the difference. If people are starving and we're so worried about it, maybe we should stop being so lazy and actually do something to help in stead of feeding, already starving and dying people, poisons. think of how much extra food we'd have if everyone turned their lawns into gardens. There are ways of doing what's best without freaking gmo.

  • It's not poisons. Since GM food is cheaper that means we can actually afford to feed starving people.

    I've noticed many vegans or all-organic supporters forget that organic products are more expensive to produce, we'd wouldn't be able to help them. You also need to renember giving them a whole organic diet requires more food in total because alot of GM foods especially vegetables or crops have more nuitrients added to them so they give starving people more nuitrients more easily.

  • gmo feeds more so we can produce more, while cross contaminating/watering down heir loom species, outcompeting organics w/big agribusiness/government subsidized.

    GMO supposed to "feed humanity" but it doesn't. The main consumer of GMO = meat industry, which is gov. subsidized/unsustainable, isn't even part of natural diet for cows & contributes to disease. The only thing gmo does is make food cheaper for agribusiness/meat industry & put $ in pockets of corrupt policy makers if u research .

  • Read about Poly Face Farms and you could find info that can help you.

    Also read about Westin A. Price and his work.

  • so..umm....

    i love you...

    and your hair...

    is it purple?

    or is it just the light??

    either way its hot...

  • I consider myself a vegan and I'm also annoyed at people protesting GMO and GEO techniques. They can eliminate the need for pesticides, which kill animals.
