The first time a honey bee carried pollen from plant to plant it started to create a genetically modified organism from the seeds produced by that plant. We should have killed the bees! Norman Borlaug modified wheat and saved millions of people from starvation, I guess we should have put him on trial for that........ If you are going to show me data, show me data that that was done by an unbiased lab not a study that had the conclusion drawn first and the data modified to fit the conclusion.
@Zeroethorder I'm not sure if that comment is in regard to studies I have posted, but Youtube does not allow links in the comments. If you are attempting to find the studies you may have to put h t t p : / / w w w . without spaces in front of the link and in some cases change a "dot" to a . or you could type the quote from the study(without quotation marks) in a search engine like Google and the study should come up. Please, disregard this post if that wasn't directed towards me.
I guess that's why the labeling of biotech food has already been called for by consumer groups.Many companies have already begun that practice because they realozed that a "Non- GM product"label is a good sales point.Overall,world consumers still lean toward non-GM.If we want to believe the saying,"We are what we eat,"then wouldn't it be simpler to just eat what God already created?At least,GM foods couldn't be masterpieces now.
You do realize that Bt toxin does unpleasant things to certain bugs, right? It targets a protein that people don't even have. It would be like trying to poke an eye out of a tree--oh, wait, they don't have eyes so you can't!
@lethalcatmonk You do realize that Cry proteins do cause antibody responses in mammals right? "An anti-PHA-E and anti-Cry1Ab antibody response was induced both after inhalation (control groups) and after inhalation/ingestion (groups fed recombinant protein alone or together with transgenic rice)." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18215453

Don't like GMO foods? Fine. Don't eat it. Organic forms of farming can only make enough food for 4 billion people. So, which 2 billion + of the worlds population would you like to see starve to death?
I'm against the Protect IP Act as written. If it passes, then it will be more difficult for diabetics to import the natural pork & beef insulin that they need for survival and quality of life. Eli Lilly stated that rDNA synthetic human insulin wouldn't work for some diabetics and rDNA human insulin is the only insulin available in America. Why isn't natural pork & beef insulin protected by the "Orphan Drug Act"? Pork & Beef insulin should be available in America again.
@Petrhrabal You said "China has very low scientific authority :/" The studies used to support the higher yields claim, "A case study of Bt cotton in China.", "Five years of Bt cotton in China - the benefits continue. ", One from Janet Carpenter former lobbyist for National Center for Food and Agriculture Policy funded by Monsanto. Most of the rest from Matin Qaim who has been criticised for using mostly biotech company data. This report has little evidence to support its claims.
I wish people would understand things better before trying to oppose them. They are not taking any genes from insects that code for unpleasant things, the only thing the genes are coding for is frost or drought resistant proteins etc, so that the human race can have enough food to survive! If it's a matter of having a starving population or using a technique that some people find "weird", I think it's pretty obvious which is more ethical.
@Alexfantastico26 "They" have already taken segments of DNA from a bacteria that produces an endotoxin and combined it with several crops(they are the second most abundant varieties of GE crops). So "they" are taking genes, etc. that can cause "unpleasant things". There is more than enough food currently produced to feed the world's population, without using GE crops. Also conventional breeding has already created frost and drought resistant crops, without the additional risks of GE crops.
@myndy86 3+5= 8 ... where is 5 or 3 in the 8 hm? Its the same with genes... Things are more co-dependent than they may appear from the first look... So please, dont use arguments like ,,they are taking parts of bad bacterias so the result will be bad,, its primitive thinking.
@Petrhrabal As I stated the Bt crops produce cry proteins(endotoxins) just like Bt itself does. You are correct that the same gene can have a different expression in a different organism, but cry proteins ARE expressed in Bt crops. So please, dont use arguments like, "Things are more co-dependent than they may appear from the first look", if you don't understand the specific circumstance you are responding to,, it's primitive thinking.
@myndy86 Whats wrong with crystal proteins? If you are a mammel, you dont need to worry, crs. afects only insects digesting syst. Its perfectly ok, that these plants produce that stuff. Whats more, pests dont become resistant, because 1/ their BT resistance gene is recessive in that case and 2/ its mixed with normal corn (other grain) for little pest population to survive and enforce spreading their vulnerable gene further. BT is present in soil since the begining anyway...
@Petrhrabal If you are a "mammel" you might not need to worry, but if you are a mammal it could cause an immune response from ingestion or even inhalation. "An anti-PHA-E and anti-Cry1Ab antibody response was induced both after inhalation (control groups) and after inhalation/ingestion (groups fed recombinant protein alone or together with transgenic rice)." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18215453
Also, as was already mentioned, cry in Bt crops can function different than cry in Bt.
@Petrhrabal Also pests can and have become resistant to Bt crops and refuges are not very effective. "Scientists also verified with lab tests and field monitoring that the cotton bollworm will develop resistance to the GM cotton and concluded that Bt cotton will not resist the bollworm after eight to ten years of continuous cultivation." china.org.cn/english/2002/Jun/33779.htm
@Petrhrabal "This is the first report of field-evolved resistance to a Bt toxin by the western corn rootworm and by any species of Coleoptera." plosone.org/article/info:doi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0022629
"Analysis of more than a decade of global monitoring data reveals that the frequency of resistance alleles has increased substantially in some field populations of Helicoverpa zea" nature.com/nbt/journal/v26/n2/abs/nbt1382.html
@Petrhrabal "Variable Bt toxin production in seeds of refuge plants undermines the high-dose/refuge strategy and could accelerate pest resistance to Bt crops." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC419639/
@CouldNotCareLes RR crops reps were telling farmers NOT to use anything but Roundup, I personally witnessed this myself. Maybe some farmers went against the products recommendations, but I would believe most farmers just used Roundup or other glyphosate containing herbicides. Where I live in the Southeast U.S., about 60% of all farms have glyphosate resistant weeds on them. Don't try to tell me, "This 'problem' is largely on the internet and occurrs very seldom in real life"!
Cleverly moved from porn industry and surgical enhancements to fucking with natural foods 'cause it's a lucrative business for the bio-tech corporations, heedless of the deleterious consequences. The objective is to monopolize the agricultural industry....soulless, money-driven,egotistical and obstinate...they believe themselves to be the creator.
What I find ludicrously funny is the naive, spiritually-blind people who go on babbling about people dying from diseases and from famine. Hey, I got news for you: If you take your health for granted and don't value the natural world, you're already dead inside. You're body is your vehicle and your soul is the driver...if you obstinately choose to support pernicious corporations like Monsanto, then you're license is revoked and you can go wander about the world in your soulless, pathetic state.
I want my food to be natural. It's my democratic right. Any greedy, vile, soulless corporation like Monsanto should be terminated for the sake of our health and the natural world. The reality is that gov't is only concerned about foods and products that kill you instantly....because of potential lawsuits. If it causes you to gradually deteriorate, it's ok and also profitable for the so-called "healthcare" industry. I'm passionate about holistic health and I eat mostly organic.
Wow wasted 30 seconds on this BS. Nothing is Organic or Natural anymore. Its all acid rain that comes down and all your food people is delivered by Trucks and planes that burn up lots of fuel and have a huge carbon footprint. If you grew it locally and trucked it in by Donkey that would be cool! Thumbs up!
@emancoy A study in the journal Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems, based on 293 yield comparisons of plant and animal foods, showed that organic agriculture has the potential to feed the entire human population based on the amount of agricultural land currently in use.
@emancoy ."use of recombinant GH or its expression in animals should be re-examined since it has been shown that it increases IGF-1 which may promote cancer." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18989835
UN report,International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology Development by 400 scientists, concluded that GE crops have very little potential to alleviate poverty and hunger and can potentially INCREASE hunger and poverty in poor countries, where most hunger and poverty occur.
And this is what I get from pubmed "The requested page does not exist."
It seems that was the study that was later discredited.
And your UN report is questionable, GMOs aim is to feed people not alleviate poverty. & how can it be any help to poor countries when some fear mongering group made them refuse to even use them? So how exactly can they INCREASE hunger and poverty, from the fact that they are not even using them at all.
@emancoy You can't find the study so you think it was discredited? LMAO! Youtube doesn't allow links, type the quote from the study, without the quotation marks in a search engine like Google and the Pubmed link will come up. You said "GMOs aim is to feed people not alleviate poverty", there is more than enough food to feed everyone on earth without GE food, a main reason people starve is because of poverty, so if GE food doesn't alleviate poverty, then how can it feed people?
@emancoy I gave you numerous quotes from studies on Pubmed in the comments for the other video, so if you haven't figured out how to get the links to work that suggests you probably didn't look at any of the dozens of studies I quoted from. Now that you know how to get the links to work, go back to that video and look up all of those studies, so I don't have to waste my time repeating myself to you. There are poor countries that use GE crops, you are making false statements again.
@myndy86 "use of recombinant GH or its expression in animals should be re-examined since it has been shown that it increases IGF-1 which may promote cancer." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18989835
And yet there are no increased incidence of cancer in the entire population that could have a substantial link to GMO, for the past 20 years to warrant any investigation, & it does not even confirm what your study states.
@emancoy Without labels it is very difficult to specifically say rbgh doesn't increase cancer risk. That is the whole point of why it is difficult to link any illness, etc. to GE food, etc. So, you can't say GE food, etc. doesn't increase cancer risk because there is no easy way to tell if it does in the general population. However, the mechanism for increased cancer risk exists in studies, and without labels that is the only thing we can go on because population studies can't really be done.
@emancoy right, cancer was only observed in very small amount of (dont know if) rats or rabbits exposed to crs. and it was funded by, guess who, yes, Greenpeace My point is: STOP RAT CANCER! DONT MIND FEMINE IN AFRICA, GO GREEEEEEN! :D
@Petrhrabal I already explained several times that GM crops have little potential to alleviate hunger in Africa and provided a variety of studies suggesting organic would be a better option for Africans. Can you provide the Greepeace study that states "cancer was only observed in very small amount of (dont know if) rats or rabbits exposed to crs". I'm going to guess this is just another one of your false claims!
@myndy86 ow rats, not rabbits... ,, ...the kidneys and liver as particularly important on which to focus such research as there was a clear negative impact on the function of these organs in rats consuming GM... ,, link: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2793308/ (bdw. one of few functional links in this chat... :/ ) its parallel to Greenp. ,,research,, I didnt manage to find in sci. studies, maybe because scientific it it not :/ check 2.2. Data collection there is G.P. mentioned
@Petrhrabal The doesn't say cancer, it talks about liver and kidney toxicity and several independent studies not affilited with Greenpeace have found similar results. "rats that were fed through three generations with either GM corn or its conventional counterpart.""there were some minimal histopathological changes in liver and kidney. Changes in creatinine, total protein and globulin levels were also determined in biochemical analysis." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18191319
@Petrhrabal "Animal toxicity studies with certain GM foods have shown that they may toxically affect several organs and systems.""The results of most studies with GM foods indicate that they may cause some common toxic effects such as hepatic, pancreatic, renal, or reproductive effects and may alter the hematological, biochemical, and immunologic parameters." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18989835
@Petrhrabal "Several convergent data appear to indicate liver and kidney problems as end points of GMO diet effects in the above-mentioned experiments. This was confirmed by our meta-analysis of all the in vivo studies published, which revealed that the kidneys were particularly affected, concentrating 43.5% of all disrupted parameters in males, whereas the liver was more specifically disrupted in females (30.8% of all disrupted parameters)." enveurope"dot"com/content/23/1 /10
@myndy86 I was reacting only to your last comment previously, the others Ill not discuss, because it would be endless :/ Bdw. giving tons of particullar super specialized information does not solve the problem here in chat room... but there is one more thing: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3198699/?tool=pmcentrez response from some scientist where he is !!! SUMMARIZING !!! his view on problem with Africa and GMO. and bdw. China has very low scientific authority :/ (your link)
@Petrhrabal This link "ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3198699/?tool=pmcentrez" didn't work. The link from China was from their state environmental protection agency and their lab results that Helicoverpa zea would evolve resistance to Bt cotton in 8 to 10 years, were confirmed in another study I posted from the U.S.!
@myndy86 Before developing countries were reluctant to use GMOs, I belong to one of the countries that were also reluctant to try them. Yet since it was launched 20 years ago, there seems to be a significant decline in malnutrition related problems in my local. Something that people who have promoted fear, have denied to the (african nation mentioned in this video) starving people this option, and sadly, lives were irreversibly lost.
@emancoy In our other discussion you claimed you had scientific evidence that your country has reduced malnutrition specifically because of GE crops. When I asked you to provide the scientific evidence, you stopped responding to my comments. This time you are saying "there seems to be a significant decline in malnutrition", that isn't evidence and even if malnutrition has decreased in your country, it could be because of numerous other factors and not because of GE crops.
@emancoy By the way, if Zambia accepted GE food it would have crushed their economy, because 53% of Zambian food exports are to the European Union who probably wouldn't have accepted Zambian food because of their strict regulations on GE. The GE food was replaced by Non-GE food donated by the European Union and bought locally, benefiting the local economy. Nobody starved because of not accepting GE food but many Zambians may have starved if Zambia did accept the GE food.
@urzula01 There will be rallies throughout the U.S. on 10/16/11 to get mandatory labeling of all products containing genetically engineered/modified organisms.
Go to "Millions Against Monsanto World Food Day 2011" on facebook, for more information.
Go to the "organicconsumers" website to sign petitions.
Type "Millions Against Monsanto Campaign 2011" in the youtube search
@emancoy I want real food! All-natural! That's my democratic right! The choices are clear: Eliminate corruption in business and government or you can all F**** OFF AND DIE!!!!!!
@Svenmaro so your choice is famine. Well, GMO's are just as real as non GMO's, major difference is one is altered at a genetic level inside the lab. If only the anti GMO's can substantiate their claims of real harm that the GMO's have supposed to have caused.
@emancoy You must have short term memory loss, I already substantiated claims of real harm that GMO's have caused. Type "Myles vs Jacqui Smith - MMR and GMO" in the youtube search and read the comments in case you forgot. I provided evidence of huge economic losses caused by GMOs from contamination, herbicide resistant weeds, etc. I provided evidence of adverse affects in lab animals and potential harms in human studies, etc. I probably even mentioned studies on environmental impact.
@CouldNotCareLes Previous to RR crops, farmers usually used more than 1 herbicide per growing season. After the implementation of RR crops farmers growing RR crops began just using glyphosate. This caused the sudden emergence of glyphosate resistant crops. Don't try to tell me glyphosate resistant weeds were prevalent previous to GE RR crops! Did grandpa have trangene contaminated noxious weeds? We have those now thanks to GE crops, field mustard is one example.
@CouldNotCareLes Are you writing my biography? "What is your experience/education (not youtube/google) in Ag?" You mean besides growing up on a farm for much of my childhood? I worked for a small seed company(mostly edible plants, but no major food crops). As I have already mentioned, I grow some of my own organic food. I have been involved in growing plants much of my life. My formal education is food and nutrition, physiology and not agriculture if that's what you are trying to get at.
@myndy86 - Ah, then you will understand that what you are proposing is unreasistic for a midwestern farmer who lives in an area with a three month growing/marketing season and is over 100 miles from an appreciable consumer base.
@CouldNotCareLes There are already hundreds of organic farms in your general area. Is your argument that there is too much competition? Because you probably would have a similar level of competition for the crops you currently grow. If your argument is that the organic certification process and transition is too expensive, that I could understand. However, "It looks like Minnesota grain farmers could make more money by switching to organic grain crops." ars.usda.gov/is/pr/2006/060725.htm
@myndy86 nope, I was asking for concrete proof from an unbiased source documenting a direct link between GMO and human diseases. So far, what you have provided articles that also have connected articles made by refutable medical journals debunking the absurd claims of your so called GMO harms. All I can say that this is dishonesty. Yet all they have thrown back are nothing but allegations blaming literally everything to GMOs, even diseases that predates the application of GMO's.
@emancoy Anyone can read the discussion we had in the comments of the other video. I gave you dozens of peer reviewed studies and you provided nothing to refute them. All I can say is you are being dishonest! Your only argument is that you can't tie any human illness, etc. to GE food, which is moronic, how can you tie a disease to something where the major consumers have no idea if they ate GE food or not, because there is no mandatory labels.
@myndy86 Your only argument is that you can't tie any human illness, etc. to GE food, which is moronic.
Moronic if it doesn't exist? FYI there was a food supplement using tryptophan manufactured in Japan using bacteria, when they genetically altered the bacteria to increase yield, the users of the altered hospitalized thousands & consumers have no idea it was a GMO. Meaning if there is solid connection, it can be traced, so far, no diseases was linked to GMOs out of the millions consuming it.
@emancoy You said "if there is solid connection, it can be traced, so far, no diseases was linked to GMOs out of the millions consuming it." FYI supplements like tryptophan are labeled! That means anyone who took the supplement could tell that to a doctor, so it can be tied to an illness. GE food is not labeled in the countries that are the biggest consumers, so there is no way to tell who ate and who didn't, so it really can't be tied to an illness! Your argument is moronic!
@myndy86 LOL! again, you seems to have overlooked the fact that there are no illnesses that can be linked to GMOs because of the fact that they actually passed the tight regulations that you have mentioned. And you even underestimate the capabilities of medical investigators that were able to trace the root causes of diseases, yet they can't even tie one disease as a direct cause from eating GMOs for over 2 DECADES. Even the ones looking for a connection couldn't find one. Because it is safe.
@emancoy Tight regulations? I never said GMOs passed tight regulations! In fact, ""The most detailed regulatory tests on the GMOs are three-month long feeding trials of laboratory rats, which are biochemically assessed. The tests are not compulsory, and are not independently conducted. The test data and the corresponding results are kept in secret by the companies." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20941377
@emancoy You really can't trace the root cause when contamination masks the affects and there are no labels. I explained this in the other videos comments, and provided dozens of studies. Almost everyone in the countries that consume the most GE food, are eating some level of GE food due to contamination. 11% of organic farms had GE contamination, so even if you eat all organic you still eat some GE. Even just inhaling proteins of GE food causes some of the same responses as eating them.
@myndy86 Now your argument falls apart for the fact that GMOs have actually prevented a lot of diseases caused by malnutrition alone. And the fact that greenpeace would rather see an entire african nation to starve resulting to the deaths of millions, than your imagined harm it suppose to cause. FYI how tryptophan was manufactured was not included in the label. It was only known after the first fatality was reported to the manufacturers. I only used it as an example
@emancoy What are you talking about? Tryptophan was labeled! Prove it wasn't, I know for a fact it was labeled. It wasn't labeled after the first fatality, IT WAS COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE MARKET! In fact, it is now illegal to sell tryptrophan in the U.S. because of this. What diseases has GE food prevented? There are no GE nutrient enhanced crops commercially available. In fact, some of the GE crops may have lower nutrient levels than conventional.
@myndy86 I anticipate that you will claim that there is a massive cover ups and conspiracies, allegations of corruptions of these GMO related diseases everywhere.
GMO plants make their own herbicide, which is substantially a much smaller quantity compared to when a farmer would use it, and spraying herbicide affects the surrounding area even greater rather than being contained in the plant itself. And humans have been unknowingly ingesting these herbicides for half a century.
@emancoy We already had this discussion and anyone can read it. I provided science and all you did was make things up. I caught you in so many false statements, that after awhile you just stopped responding. Just like your false statement here "GMO plants make their own herbicide". There are no commercially available GE crops that make their own herbicide. Stop making false statements, you have no idea what you are talking about, and/or you are just intentionally lying.
@myndy86 And sadly for you, The adverse effects in animals as a result in eating GMOs was later discredited,, so if you think which one of us is suffering from memory loss?. That fact was already mentioned from one of my first replies to you. And the regulations you mentioned in that list did not mentioned that the GMOs passed them. Why is that?
So if you are so convinced that GMOs do cause harm in humans, then get off your ass and prove it.
@emancoy You provided no evidence to discredit any adverse effects. In fact, you provided very little evidence of anything. All you really did was make false statements as you have done again in the comments for this video. I then go on to provide evidence that you have false statements, and then your short term memory and/or dishonesty kicks in. LMAO!
(manufactured) Food crisis - How can we solve this problem? - Monsanto will help us, hurray!!!!! Result = Monsanto controls world food supply (and hence world) with terminator seeds and patented crops and animals.
You are a real fool to think these big corporations really want to help anyone
someday you will see the end result from all this most of our food is GMO in
the U.S.A. most countries around the world fight it. Again you just spew out stupid B.S. as I have said you are some punk that has done nothing and gone no where. Gmos do not feed billions The most populated countries in the world India and China do not eat that crap. Millions starve because of other factors the U.S.A.
China didn't use GMOs in food resulting in a~ 30% yields in such foods like corn compared to America. Although they have now approved and deemed GMOs safe in China. also i would like to add your avid ill informed passion for this is indeed hurt many in places where people live in subsistence farming. market factors can and do make people better off and corporations have been around since the 1600's we seem to be doing fine since then. plus there's scientific evidence to back it
@cunucky One of the leading makers of GMO food such as Monsanto have sued farmers whose crops
have been cross polinated from GMO Rapeseed in your country that lost everything to Mansanto. Masanto also claimed that Agent Oranrage was safe too. Many Vietnam vets have died from
cancer since then including my Dad. Have you ever been to China? They have an abundance of all types of natural foods. I go there often they are doing fine W/O Gmos.
@dragonseptor 1 i cant argue with you about how each party involved with the mass spraying of agent orange were all responsilbe for the consequences of their mistakes. but all i have to go with is what the scientific community and the food safety regulators say. And for the last 25 years there hasnt been any casual health effects demenstrated in any peer reviewed respectable journal that i know of (unlike agent orange). So all im saying is that dont be to fast to destroy a potentially good thing
peer reviewed respectable journal ? just words on paper altered and manipulated half truths mixed with partial full truths mixed with divided into sub divisions to make you think its an actual respectable knowledge based journal the elite mind trap people to turn a buck their genetesis the same thing they do to information they do to the food information inside food. gmo will not save the world organic will.
@dragonseptor 2 China may be doing fine relatively but alot of places especially in africa are not where most the extreme poverty are farmers. where irrigation is not cost effective like it is in China, and where droughts and even more problematic. Food prices are increasing with leaps and bounds and stoping the development of a technology that may help stem alot of future problems seems silly. And i would agree that it should be focused on helping the farmers also. And sorry about your dad :(
@cunucky I think it is a great thing for the common people to turn the health and welfare over to the more educated sector of this world. Food prices will soon increase all over the world and people like you will have given over the right for seeds to be owned by the elite that will have the complete control over all crops you must be working for the big GMO.
Now we know also that all the worlds nuclear power plants will always give us clean safe ennergy too.
@cunucky UNEP-UNCTAD report "Organic Agriculture and Food Security in Africa ", the study demonstrates that organic agriculture can be equal or better for food security than most conventional systems and is more likely to be sustainable in the longer term, as it builds up levels of natural, human, social, financial and physical capital in farming communities. It also favours the use of low carbon footprint production methods and local resources.
@cunucky monsanto pretty much owns the worlds seeds. i find it of no surprise that gmos would be deemed and approved in as safe in china just the hand of monsanto at work and just the fact that you trust the information you cling to and seem to fully support wich i approve and deem to be your avid ill informed passion for misinformation because your mind has suffered from the cross pollination of defecation and urination from the lies and deceit you call facts youve become rapeseed.
@cunucky Farming Systems Trial at Rodale Institute. In 1999 during one of the worst droughts on record, yields of organic soybeans were 30 bushels/acre compared to only 16 bushels/acre from conventionally grown soybeans. "Our trial shows that improving the quality of the soil through organic practices can mean the difference between a harvest and hardship in times of drought" Jeff Moyer farm manager at Rodale Institute.

Every single time man meddles with nature there are unexpected problems. Why can't we just stick with the old method of crossbreeding? . At least you are mixing dna of similar organism and not messing with something we still don't fully understand yet.
Gmos are artificially made foods. Regular nature made foods is now called organic and not considered regular or normal. Very sad manipulation of earth and humanity. Slavery is now called freedom in America and injustice is called justice by the criminal insane who run the country. Monsanto plants are mixed dna of bugs and animaps,that need chemicals roundup fertilizers to grow.& tax payers finance destroying natural crops that don't need chemicals. See videos at mayabell (.com
DO SOMETHING THEN!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 make a organic revolution your way.SPREAD THE ORGANIC SEED EVERYWHERE TELL OTHERS
I can't believe some idiots gave this video thumbs down. there is insect & even human DNA mixed in the plants & foods we are eating. Wake up people, insane psychopaths control the world. Cabbage has human DNA in it. The laws of USA are such; they don't have to tell you what is in the food & how it was modified genetically. They don't have to tell you who they experiment on or get permission from the people to experiment on them. Visit the website MayaBell (dot com)
@candygir7 there is nothing wrong with DNA, you break it down during digestion, and those atoms (nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, phosphorous) are incorporated into your body like anything else in food. there is no difference between cabbage DNA and human DNA, just the way the same atoms and molecules are organized.
@appleman1088 you are another mentally ill American. you are eating human DNA and you telling me there is nothing wrong with that because you are insane. I am not interested to talk to you.
there are series consequences of GMO foods that contain high levels of pesticides..

@dragonseptor wow. no, you sound like some uniformed american who cant trust their own government. your honestly the biggest fucking prick ive ever seen to think that all others can think about is greed. and how is it for greed? if anything, its organic foods that are for greed because they cost a shit load and are simply using a placebo effect for its taste. i would like you to name a reason other than helping feed others for GMO, and i want a reasonable answer not a conspiracy theory. asshole.
@dragonseptor then they just plant the GMO seeds the next year, they make grain that can survive harsher climates so the people can eat, you just sound like some asshole who thinks people should starve because of your hysteria about things you dont understand, like GMO
@dragonseptor no, im calling you a name because your just an asshole, your fighting technology that feeds billions and your dancing around that fact, i know my facts from previous research, and the fact that there was protests, yes there was, but greenpeace told the government of zambia that the GMO food was poison, and then millions starved, there was a protest there, and that a few farmers got sued because of this seems a little irrelevent.
@FrontalTraction - u are just harming yourself ..why would so called 'hippies' care.!?? !lol!
Milk from cows injected with genetically modified bovine growth hormone (rbGH/rbST) has higher levels of pus, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, bovine growth hormone, and insulin-like growth factor-1—linked to higher rates of cancer and fraternal twins. so get drinking some gallons of that sheepie...!
@SovereignBeing Hormones, antibiotics, etc are NOT genetic modification, Genetic modification is changing the genes of an organism to make it leaner, tastier, etc... Breeding is also genetic modification. If you don't want to eat gmos, go eat wild plants and animals then.
No dumbass. Do you know anything about genetics? saying that GMO and breeding is the same is just stupid. For example you can never get a gen from a north atlantic fish that is cold resistent, naturally in to potatoes. Which they have done. Neither can it naturally occur genom from bacteris like bacilius thuringensis in crops, which is the biggest seller.
@Kuddji1 You are chnaging the genes by breeding for desired traits, like in dog breeding, a desired trait to breed for could be good hearing. Modern science lets us modify genes in faster ways. Such as taking a gene for cold resistance and putting it into tomatoes, therefore increasing food production.
@FrontalTraction No , they are changing the DNA by using viruses and bacterial strains . They also use gene splicing as well as breeding . There can no longer be any question that genetically modified corn damages humans and animals . On Sunday September 19 they vote on whether genetically modified Slamon (frakenfish) will be allowed for the first time . Although over 92% of those polled by ABC news are against it , Monsanto and friends have millions riding on it .
@FrontalTraction No , it isn't because we are not talking about making a stronger fish , we are talking about upsetting ecosystems and poisoning people . It has been clearly demonstrated that genetically engineered corn causes intestinal damage to humans . It can't be good to take salmon DNA and splice it with viruses and crerate an altered species . They are doing this so corporations can literally own copyrights to animals . Monsanto owns pork genes already .
@MindofaJedi I agree with you that copyrighting genes is wrong. However, foods can be genetically altered to produce bigger yields, which is a good thing.
@FrontalTraction except we give these foods to the human population before we even know what damage they're doing. They tried increasing soybean yields with genetic alteration, but ended up just transferring the allergy to brazil nuts. People who would abide by their dietary restrictions could still die because of what? Cheaper production costs?
Monstanto, who patented life, was forced to hand over research that they ALREADY HAD showing their corn increases the likelihood of organ damage.
We were warned in the Bible to beware of those that come to steal, kill, and destroy. Nothing on earth fits that better than Monsatan. The Bible also says God will destroy those that destroy the earth. It will be a glorious day when Monsanto is a sad, distant memory of greed, corruption, sickness, and DEATH.
There are a million different flavors in our world, but we choose to eat the same thing everyday. Everything can be reduced to a few foodtypes now a day (watch Food Inc)
With genetic engeneering we are destroying nature's diversity! In the Middelages farmers grew dozens of diffrent types of grains, veggies, fruits. Monoculture didn't exist. If let say the rye corp failed, you at least had 2 other types of grain left to eat and you didn' starve. Now we need to modify our crops so they won't fail
@QuantumBabe well there is a point to that. but i still think that we have a bigger variety then say the middle ages did. just go to your local grocery store and im pretty sure they have dozens of selections of just veggies plus we can eat them in the winter yay :D Also if we were to plant like we did in the middle ages and feed the same amount of ppl we would need like 6 more planets (im guessing :P)
and adding modern agriculture does give us a benifit of creating more food on less land so we dont have to cut down more rainforests to grow the less efficient organic plants. Now if only people in america stop eating so damn much which is alot more problematic then Gen morfing which they've been forever (and not including geneselection through breeding the 1940's were they forced mutations on plants and a bunch more crazy stuff.... you dead yet?)
If GMOs are so bad then why have every major scientific institution in the world provide data for the counter or at least refute the claim that it is hazardous. I cant find one ounce of evidence from someone with standing in their field of study related to biotechnology to say the otherwise. Greenepeace is running an ideological agenda which is killing poor hungry people around the world and they should be ashamed. just because they have good intentions doesnt mean there right
It really is sad and frustrating. Greenpeace operates on fear-based revenue. They abandoned the whales because there's no money in them. They've indirectly murdered countless children by holding back golden rice. I mean really?? wtf. You know, the situation is getting worse too politically with new laws becoming tougher and tougher. The only hope I see is with better and more education in the sciences, or maybe even a huge famine. *sigh*
If I were to make a guess, you wold either be a GMO profiteer or just another simple minded person that has already gone ahead and drank the proverbial koolaid.
Open your eyes and ask yourself when was the last time big business has done anything altruistic that did not have some form of benefit or profit margin behind it. GM foods and the policies behind the sustaining of their industry is just another way of cornering the food market, ask any farmer about the contracts they are forced into.
So are you saying the way to open my eyes is too not look at the science behind GMO from the science community, which has a pretty good Epistimology but instead go to what I and others feel emotionally about bussinesses? and you should ask yourself when was the last time you didnt maximize your utility for your own self. doesnt mean that you havent done good for ppl or had positive unintended consequences. It allows our society to grow unfortunatly econ 101 .
When I said i didn't agree with the message I meant I don't agree that we shouldn't make GMO's anymore. I am aware of what GMO's are, as I study molecular biology.
Actually, its true. Lots of organisms are transgene. In your crop is DNA which doesnt belong in it in the first place. But this hasnt been done for your benefit. Its for making chemicals (of the very same company which sells the seeds) applicable. That produces a triple win situation. 1. Patented seeds, 2. Patented Pestizides which only work with the patented seeds. 3. Farmers are entirely depending on the GMO-Corporations products (i.e. Monsanto).
I dont see why you say facts in your description when it clear that By-products are put into food. thats a very ignorant statement seeing that GM foods aren't harmful in anyway and as a matter of fact are helpful to the human race when it comes to things like famine and are less harmful to us than insecticides. Maybe you shouldn't use wikipedia because the website contains many biased opinions based on the Author's viewpoint
Sorry mate I made that comment quite a while a go. There is the prevention of eutropification, a solution to world hunger, etc etc. However now I realise that there are some setbacks for instance the unknown result of a transgenic-natural hybrid.
I do not work for GreenPeace, nor is this video any kind of official ad for Green Peace. It was a school project that required it to LOOK LIKE an official ad (as I stated in the description.

I guess that's why the labeling of biotech food has already been called for by consumer groups.Many companies have already begun that practice because they realozed that a "Non- GM product"label is a good sales point.Overall,world consumers still lean toward non-GM.If we want to believe the saying,"We are what we eat,"then wouldn't it be simpler to just eat what God already created?At least,GM foods couldn't be masterpieces now.

@CouldNotCareLes Are you writing my biography? "What is your experience/education (not youtube/google) in Ag?" You mean besides growing up on a farm for much of my childhood? I worked for a small seed company(mostly edible plants, but no major food crops). As I have already mentioned, I grow some of my own organic food. I have been involved in growing plants much of my life. My formal education is food and nutrition, physiology and not agriculture if that's what you are trying to get at.

@myndy86 - Ah, then you will understand that what you are proposing is unreasistic for a midwestern farmer who lives in an area with a three month growing/marketing season and is over 100 miles from an appreciable consumer base.

@CouldNotCareLes There are already hundreds of organic farms in your general area. Is your argument that there is too much competition? Because you probably would have a similar level of competition for the crops you currently grow. If your argument is that the organic certification process and transition is too expensive, that I could understand. However, "It looks like Minnesota grain farmers could make more money by switching to organic grain crops." ars.usda.gov/is/pr/2006/060725.htm

@myndy86 - well, there are two within five miles of me.
Both use seasonal labor (illegal aliens.)
I'm not going to do that.
Do you want a job working like a dog for minimum wage for 5 - 6 weeks during the summer?
If you do, and you can find a few dozen others like you, I'll give the organic thing a try.
(I actually farm 26 acres organically ... me and my boys do the work.)

@myndy86 nope, I was asking for concrete proof from an unbiased source documenting a direct link between GMO and human diseases. So far, what you have provided articles that also have connected articles made by refutable medical journals debunking the absurd claims of your so called GMO harms. All I can say that this is dishonesty. Yet all they have thrown back are nothing but allegations blaming literally everything to GMOs, even diseases that predates the application of GMO's.

@emancoy Anyone can read the discussion we had in the comments of the other video. I gave you dozens of peer reviewed studies and you provided nothing to refute them. All I can say is you are being dishonest! Your only argument is that you can't tie any human illness, etc. to GE food, which is moronic, how can you tie a disease to something where the major consumers have no idea if they ate GE food or not, because there is no mandatory labels.

@myndy86 Your only argument is that you can't tie any human illness, etc. to GE food, which is moronic.
Moronic if it doesn't exist? FYI there was a food supplement using tryptophan manufactured in Japan using bacteria, when they genetically altered the bacteria to increase yield, the users of the altered hospitalized thousands & consumers have no idea it was a GMO. Meaning if there is solid connection, it can be traced, so far, no diseases was linked to GMOs out of the millions consuming it.
emancoy 3 months ago
@emancoy You said "if there is solid connection, it can be traced, so far, no diseases was linked to GMOs out of the millions consuming it." FYI supplements like tryptophan are labeled! That means anyone who took the supplement could tell that to a doctor, so it can be tied to an illness. GE food is not labeled in the countries that are the biggest consumers, so there is no way to tell who ate and who didn't, so it really can't be tied to an illness! Your argument is moronic!
myndy86 3 months ago
@myndy86 LOL! again, you seems to have overlooked the fact that there are no illnesses that can be linked to GMOs because of the fact that they actually passed the tight regulations that you have mentioned. And you even underestimate the capabilities of medical investigators that were able to trace the root causes of diseases, yet they can't even tie one disease as a direct cause from eating GMOs for over 2 DECADES. Even the ones looking for a connection couldn't find one. Because it is safe.

@emancoy Tight regulations? I never said GMOs passed tight regulations! In fact, ""The most detailed regulatory tests on the GMOs are three-month long feeding trials of laboratory rats, which are biochemically assessed. The tests are not compulsory, and are not independently conducted. The test data and the corresponding results are kept in secret by the companies." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20941377

@emancoy You really can't trace the root cause when contamination masks the affects and there are no labels. I explained this in the other videos comments, and provided dozens of studies. Almost everyone in the countries that consume the most GE food, are eating some level of GE food due to contamination. 11% of organic farms had GE contamination, so even if you eat all organic you still eat some GE. Even just inhaling proteins of GE food causes some of the same responses as eating them.

@myndy86 Now your argument falls apart for the fact that GMOs have actually prevented a lot of diseases caused by malnutrition alone. And the fact that greenpeace would rather see an entire african nation to starve resulting to the deaths of millions, than your imagined harm it suppose to cause. FYI how tryptophan was manufactured was not included in the label. It was only known after the first fatality was reported to the manufacturers. I only used it as an example
emancoy 3 months ago
@emancoy What are you talking about? Tryptophan was labeled! Prove it wasn't, I know for a fact it was labeled. It wasn't labeled after the first fatality, IT WAS COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE MARKET! In fact, it is now illegal to sell tryptrophan in the U.S. because of this. What diseases has GE food prevented? There are no GE nutrient enhanced crops commercially available. In fact, some of the GE crops may have lower nutrient levels than conventional.

@myndy86 I anticipate that you will claim that there is a massive cover ups and conspiracies, allegations of corruptions of these GMO related diseases everywhere.
GMO plants make their own herbicide, which is substantially a much smaller quantity compared to when a farmer would use it, and spraying herbicide affects the surrounding area even greater rather than being contained in the plant itself. And humans have been unknowingly ingesting these herbicides for half a century.

@emancoy We already had this discussion and anyone can read it. I provided science and all you did was make things up.

So if you are so convinced that GMOs do cause harm in humans, then get off your ass and prove it.

It also favours the use of low carbon footprint production methods and local resources.

Actually, its true. Lots of organisms are transgene. In your crop is DNA which doesnt belong in it in the first place. But this hasnt been done for your benefit. Its for making chemicals (of the very same company which sells the seeds) applicable. That produces a triple win situation. 1. Patented seeds, 2. Patented Pestizides which only work with the patented seeds. 3. Farmers are entirely depending on the GMO-Corporations products (i.e. Monsanto).
