I can't watch this. The constant gesticulation is REALLY annoying and patronising. Politicians are taught to use these same movements during speaking engagements; palms open to convey "honesty" and then knuckles outwards to convey power/alpha male status. Tony Blair was a prime example in total overkill of the technique such that it is clearly unnatural, phoney and manipulative. This kid trumps Blair. Which idiot told him to do this? Even italians don't gesticulate this much. Its truly horrible.

Adults also like bright shiny things. Fucking mugs we are.

Power to the new generation! I will be showing this to my son.

monsanto is all about money, not helping people. Their gm vegetables are STERILE, effectively cutting off farmers from making a profit. If you have to continually buy seed every year, it cuts profit to keep the farm running. not to mention that the gm foods are supposed to be both better for the environment and more resistant to drought and bugs, neither of which is true.

wow...that kid is somethin' else. See...not American children are ignorant, but he IS home-schooled.....

@5BearsGoUSA ok then Hey Mom or Dad will you please forward me the research article about the rats that ate GMO corn and had reduced kidney function. I would like to verify that it is a reliable source not a .com or sponsored by a company that had a vested interest in having certain data result from the study.

@omegalkahest Because the fact that everyone in America did not drop dead in the last 5 years gives me a pretty solid reason to believe that GMO's are safe. If you wanted to argue the ecological bennefits of the BMP's associated with organic agriculture that I could respect. but GMO is like the organic communities version of george bush's WMD's. you can talk about it all day but its just a wild claim at this point
-
@omegalkahest there is no long term research to back up medicines that people take either. If you could point me in the right direction to find any evidence that supports the claim that GMO's have harmed people from a good source(hopefully you can discern between the two) I would love to read it. PS I am for all forms of agriculture and intelligent debate about food safety not wild claims. If you feel this kid is right on the money then I recomend you rethink your own bias

@alyncurtis I am for both methods of production, both have their place in the market. GMOs have not killed anyone as far as I know. Humans are used as guinea pigs for every single product ever made. I'm anti stupidity and even though this kid gave a fantasic speech and was very articulate which is a great skill at his age... he was allowed to give a speech that had absolute crap for content to support the wild claims he made. It makes the organic community look crazy and normal farmers mad.

@alyncurtis things with our heritage, which is this planet, and everything nature has to offer. I'm not anti science, that would be absurd, but I also think playing god and messing about with genetics is a dangerous avenue to go down considering this is FOOD we are talking about. I was always taught that 'you are what you eat' and I am a gardener myself. GM concerns me. The human race is effectively being used as guinea pigs for GM, not to mention what GM has done to many farmers livelihoods.
This is my son. He first started asking questions when he was 8 after he saw a post online (over my shoulder) about mercury in HFCS. From there he did his own research and changed our family's conventional supermarket eating habits to local, organic, sustainable. He wrote this talk on his own and he said, "How can I tell what's wrong and what's right all in 5 minutes? Our kid had the freedom to think and learn for himself and I think he did a fine job - not brainwashed or a puppet for anyone!
