@eenger The kind of genetical modification you're referring to is not modification, but selection. What we do is modifying the DNA using DNA from another organism. Nature just selects the best animals bij natural selection so their DNA can stay, but what we do is ADDING to the DNA from DNA out of another organism, so that's the difference, we're mixing up species.

Organisms take advantage of modifications of their own DNA all the time. Genetic modification is occuring all the time in the envirionment. Organisms take advantage of this all the time through natural selection. What is the difference when humans change gene regulation and protein expression?Nothing, sometimes it makes an unhealthy organism.Go back, change it some more and it will be fine. in fact, aside from the different expression it will metabolically indistinguishable from nat organisms.

What the fuck does a corrupt agency have to do with the safety of GMOs? This argument applies to anything the FDA approves, some of which are necessary to save lives. This fool is not really arguing against GMOs, as he is against corruption. With proper regulation and scientific research and testing, GMOs will be found to be as bening as any other organism. Christ people, they are merely modifying the gene regulation or protein production, modifying a natural process, it wont harm you.

@JJTechnologies That has to do more with land rights and corporatism than scientific research. True, science is a double edged sword, it can be used for great good as well as great evil, but all I'm saying is that we use it for great good instead of great evil.

@intensive40 Don't worry about the oil - oil is a natural product of Earh, and Erth will do just fine with it. It already did. As per Japan - we'll see, but I don't believe it has much significance. Czarnobyl was worse and was kept under the carpet for long allowing contamintion to spread before anyone reacted. You can go fishing with peace of mind ..... for now.

@seanotube85 with all honestly - I don't think genetic manipulation of plants is good at all. It has nothing to do with religious doubts, just plain logic. There is no good testing, rush to implement more quickly, and will always be as long as we have monetary system. I believe whole idea of 'substancial equivalence' is a huge scam to simply make implementation quicker. I know there is a rap in town about solving powerty this way - but it's nonsense. So far gmo's CREATED more poverty (ie. India)

Foods in the supermarket I ignore:
Huge fat asparagus says grown in Peru, asparagus are supposed to be skinny and full of Vitamin E, etc
Really huge peaches that have no scent, way too big, taste 'cottony'
Carrots that are so bright orange in the bag, looks like dyes in it, taste like bleach.
I just pass it by, because I know better and I believe in supporting organic

So to me, I was raised where if you see fish that looks like that, it is not the original form, it is altered and not meant to eat. And if that is the bottom line, then it is not meant to be produced or sold, period. I have made sure to get fresh wild caught fish, but then again, even that could be now not so perfect since theBP oil spill and aftermath of the nuclear meltdown in Japan.
-
I can remember looking at salmon in the grocery store, and seeing how too pink it was, understanding there were dyes put in it, just to get it to look healthy, and it smelled terrible, and people would buy it while there was info out there about eating salmon that was not wild, instead farm raised, devoid of Omega fatty acids, which is the whole point of eating salmon, to get a good source of Omega Oils. So basically, if people buy it, they are supporting farm raised fish, and why is it legal?

We should all have a conversation on why more people are not aware of Who Monsanto is ...truth in information...disclosures in food labels...Who is in charge of dispersing information? I have fought my way to access in information and it has helped my life and my community! I do not think normal people go on you tube to say jew this, or bible that, science is indifferent, it is science, and there is ample proof GMO have long term terrible effects, originating from a decent idea meant for farmers
ANYONE that believe GMO foods are good for YOU,,go luck in your premature death...GMO foods,are soft kill weapons.Ask yourselves how can man improve on GOD and nature.Do some research,,THERE IS A REASON WHY,,the worlds ELITE,are storing Organic,NOT GMO seeds in seed vaults.GMO foods,and Vaccines are for population control.There is a connection with GMO foods,and LARGE populations of BEES dying off."No more bees,"NO MORE FOOD" Albert Einstein

@SpaceMan131326 I would rather die of cancer 40 years from now than die of hunger now. Everything is cancer this cancer that now a days. Your going to die someday and we can't all live to be 102. Stop redirecting blame for our lifespan. If you dont like it maybe to can hitch up the mules and go plow a field for your "Natural Food" food.
