Litchi Tomato and Genetically Engineered Food Crops

John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com has Rhio, a friend from New York Visiting. He shows her around and asks her about GMO or Genetically Modified Foods and Seeds.

does the 'litchi tomatoes' taste sweeter than normal tomatoes?

[growingyourgreens]

depends on the variety of the tomato. That being said, I grow some really sweet tomatoes, so in general "regular" tomatoes are sweeter.

who cares, GMO is the one of the worst things happened to our race in decade, it should be stopped right now

and the people responsibile for this should sit in jail, they are destroying the perfection in the creation, to think

that a human, that put here to have an experience, would say, I AM ABOVE NATURE, I AM ABOVE THE ONE CREATER, I AM ABOVE EVERYTHING, I CAN DO BETTER THEN ALL OF THEM, its insanity in levels that are hard to imagine ! ! ! they are sick people !

If everyone was like Rhio we would be in the stone ages. The only issue I have with GMO is that I heard it can cause the plants to be more prone to disease, so they are less hearty. Cross pollinating plants was the first type of GMO, the plants had no say in that either! Is that rape? The accidental pollination could be an issue, and the plants that seed will not produce the same GMO plants - thats how the seed company makes money. So future crops could suffer.

I am not defending GMOs, I dislike them as much as you do, but Rhio is over simplifying so much that the facts suffer.

1. Organisms exchange genes all the time (transgenes), viruses are the prime examples. You are carrying virus genes in your genome right now. Bacteria do this too.

2. You DO NOT use .22 caliber bullets to get the genes into the cell!! It's called a golden gun- An old method that is rarely used any more.

3. You can now insert the gene EXACTLY where you want it in the genome.

Ah...land of the politicians, home of the seed corporations...

@Hobohube Monsanto's stock plunged 32% in the last year. It is not a given that GMOs will dominate. It really depends on us. What are we willing to do? How much will we extend ourselves in behalf of our earthmother and her struggle on so many fronts to heal and remain whole? Our future is written in sand and can be changed in an instant depending on the opening up of our communal consciousness

Thank You John and Rhio!

Dont forget this isn't just about corporate competition, there is a more sinister reason behind S510. Its about control over the kind of food you eat, they want you to eat there GMO Frankish foods so your health is compromised in the long run. And what does that lead to? Population reduction. This bill is part of the NWO plan.

GREAT informative video btw. John and Rhio are amazing people.

Thanks
