Stop Genetically Modifying Foods

A motion piece for Greenpeace, done for my Advertising and Marketing class.

It is a motion piece detailing the issue of genetically modified foods and there place in society. It highlights facts that the public might not be aware of in a dynamic and thought provoking manner.

@lethalcatmonk “Here we have tested for the very first time Cry1Ab and Cry1Ac Bt toxins (10 ppb to 100 ppm) on the human embryonic kidney cell line 293””Cry1Ab caused cell death from 100 ppm””In these results, we argue that modified Bt toxins are not inert on nontarget human cells” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10­.1002/jat.2712/abstract

@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.

@lethalcatmonk "Cry1Ac protoxin (pCry1Ac) binds to the mucosal surface of the mouse small intestine.""six pCry1Ac-binding polypeptides present in brush border membrane vesicles isolated from the small intestine.""in situ temporal changes in the electrophysiological properties of the mouse jejunum.""indicate a possible interaction in vivo of Cry proteins with the animal bowel which could induce changes in the physiological status of the intestine." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/107776­80

@lethalcatmonk "mice were fed a diet containing MON810 or its parental control maize or a pellet diet containing a GM-free maize""MON810 maize induced alterations in the percentage of T and B cells and of CD4(+), CD8(+), gammadeltaT, and alphabetaT subpopulations of weaning and old mice fed for 30 or 90 days, respectively, at the gut and peripheral sites. An increase of serum IL-6, IL-13, IL-12p70, and MIP-1beta after MON810 feeding was also found."ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed­/19007233

@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

@myndy86

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!

Are you saying that non-GMO orange juice doesn't have the same amount of insect DNA? Astounding! Even the insects like GMO oranges better!

@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.
