Use of the f-bomb is immature and a non-starter in our conversations. We can't approve your full comment (as submitted), but you can resubmit.

SUGGESTION:

Learn (today) how epithets become epitaphs for your involvement in a rational online dialog. We suspect that your habits of deliberate ignorance and complete disrespect will mark you as a potential Darwin Award candidate. Good luck with that.

Polio vaccinations = Good for most, good for eradicating polio.

GMO = BAD. Period.

If GMO food production is a "closely regulated industry", then the standard is much too low.

@KCFoodCircle " the current restrictions on plant and animal research (pertaining to development of GMO/GE foods) are much too loose for an adequate level of public safety" Are you f... (deleted)

|SWE| Gmo är framtiden. Seriöst, varför ska man inte kunna producera mer snabbare till den snabbt ökande befolkningen?

|ENG| GMO is the future. Seriously, why shouldn't we NOT be able to produce more food quicklier to the rapidly increasing population?

[KCFoodCircle]

@Toffelkungen - The planet will not be able (and should not be pressed that far) to support some "9 billion people", no matter how "efficient" our crop production. There will be LESS arable land soon, LESS fresh water for crops... and the fossil-fuel-based fertilizer and pesticides and INFRASTRUCTURE required to maintain GMO crops is being depleted faster and faster every year. In one hundred years, we have gone thru HALF the world's oil supply. BALANCE is key, as unlimited GROWTH is a myth.

i've been thinking on this GMO crap happening and I've decided that anyone affiliated with the release of GMO's into our environment should be prosecuted. Cross-pollination isn't a myth. Oh, and horizontal gene transfer has been proven to occur. Wouldn't this be tantamount to bioterrorism or something just a serious?

[KCFoodCircle]

We need to tell our legislators, first, that the current restrictions on plant and animal research (pertaining to development of GMO/GE foods) are much too loose for an adequate level of public safety. We can't prosecute for things that are not yet a crime.

Yes, I agree - it is not a long stretch to call what is going on now "bio-terrorism" and we've allowed it to happen to ourselves. The public needs to speak out and demand change, now.

GMO is often done to make the plant resistant to pesticides and herbicides. The result is that what you buy in the produce isle contains chemicals, some of which you can't wash off. Dangerous!

[sugoo2]

there are series consequences of GMO foods that contain high levels of pesticides..

these mimic estrogen in the body (xenoestrogens) and create estrogen pool overload which eventually makes women have cystic breasts, ovaries, and a very painful disease called endometriosis , these symptoms will mostly likely cause infertility long term if not cause breast or uterus cancers..

thanks again goes to our 'public servants' for poisoning us and shortening our lives.. GMO is bascially eugenics.. !

@wxyzca2000 was your comment aimed at all corn in general? or just gmo corn?

[samchilat]

@KCFoodCircle hi from Taiwan. It's US gov't scheme that wanna wipe out Chinese since Beijing seemed greened light on GMO rice already. I saw many discussions on internet by Mainland Chinese..... it seemed to be part of NWO

"t is not a long stretch to call what is going on now "bio-terrorism" and we've allowed it to happen"

excellent vid. thanks. farmers need to be heard
