One company does not need to be responsible for the whole worlds food. We need variety and local farmers market. Everybody in the world shouldn't be eating the same lab modified apple for the sake of it being mass produced like a car part.
this is all there is to it
mr government scientist here wants monsanto, dupont, novartis, dow to control all the farms
Your statement in response still show how bad your reading comprehension is. You still accuse me of supporting corporations when I've said countless times that I DO NOT, and you still sound like a babbling idiot who, just like goldenchild, is throwing out nice sounding ideas without actually contributing to any of them. I on the other hand live up to what I "preach".
Just keep saying what your saying and allowing to let millions of people die instead of realizing there will ALWAYS be a market for natural/organic food AND GMOs. Natural foods can be bought and grown by people like you and GMOs can continue to support and save the lives of those less fortunate who cant grow their own food and cant afford to buy $10 organic burgers.
Continue you to just stifle GMO progression and allowing children to starve to death.
I never ONCE said ONE corporation should rule the world and all of the food that we consume and that, that food has to be GMOs, NOT ONCE DID I SAY THIS. THIS IS WHERE YOUR READING COMPREHENSION FAILS.
I've only stated that with the growing population of people AND YES the GREED of people we need alternative ways to support the starving and sick and poor, and ONE VERY GOOD WAY TO DO THIS CHEAP AND EFFECTIVELY IS THROUGH GMOS!!!.
WTH DO YOU NOT GET ABOUT THAT? YOUR METHODS WILL NEVER BE PLAUSIBLE BECAUSE WE ARE GREEDY AND THE EARTH CAN NOT SUSTAIN THIS MANY PEOPLE. PROVE TO ME HOW IT CAN!!!! IF YOU BELIEVE SO. TELL ME YOUR PLANS AND IDEAS THAT WILL ACTUALLY WORK. DON'T JUST SAY EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THEIR OWN GARDEN....WTH IS THAT CRAP? SHOULD WE ALL HERD AND BREED OUR OWN CATTLE? SO TELL ME GENIUS WHAT IS YOUR PLAN? BECAUSE I'VE TOLD YOU MY SOLUTIONS AND THAT IS GMOs. GMOs are not up to where they need to be right now, we still need to do a lot of research, but that's why I push so hard for the support and all you do is talk crap and stifle the research which can save lives. Spewing out more BS about how "oh everyone should eat natural grown food" but without throwing out a plan as to how in the hell that could work. And you have yet to address my other questions about the need for medicine and other things we get from GMOs. You suggest we all grow our own medicine too?
Let me tell you something about Europe, one of the most popular food chains over there is effin McDonalds and guess what kinda plants and animals they make their food out of.... GASP GMOs, you know where else McDonalds is poplar? Japan, which I can't remember who I responded to about, but they still haven't addressed how a country our industrialized AND eats GMOs can live so long. hmmm......?
I'm all for labeling GMOs I don't give a crap about the corporations and I would like regulations placed on them including forced labeling. I also like the organic/natural industry I've shopped for unique kinds of natural products all the time, which you could make with GMOs, but the natural market is where you can find them now. AGAIN, I am not even talking about those corporations. I am talking about a need for GMOs to produce cheap and effective medicine and food. YOU STILL FAIL TO REALIZE THIS NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I SAY IT.
If companies were forced to label them and people didn't buy them then that's there prerogative. YOU ARE LUCKY YOU HAVE THAT CHOICE, unlike the millions of people who are starving and will eat anything, and if we can support them with nutritious food that are GMOs then why not? At least they can eat and live, and have good nutrition. It's so important to the health of a population and to the proper development of a child. BUT, YOU WOULD RATHER THEM STARVE TO DEATH.... OR IM SORRY YOU EXPECT A BROKEN INNER CITY FAMILY WITH THE SINGLE PARENT AT WORK ALL DAY AND NIGHT TO GROW THEIR OWN PRODUCE AND CATTLE HUH?
And, actually there has been extensive studies on the safety of GMO food products and those studies are on going. If you knew anything about genetics you would realize that the very fact that these organisms can even survive to a full adult and fertile plant or animal is a pretty crucial sign that they are not going to "poison" us and that they do not contain any aberrant genes. As well as you would realize that consumption of food does affect your body very much so, but genetically modifying a plant or animal will not allow for those genes to affect your body, nor does consumption of growth hormones which can only recognize and bind to the receptors of those specific animals, they are nonreactive to human growth hormone receptors. Lastly, those growth hormones, like all protein, have a finite life time and quickly degrade in the body of the animal. There will be no residual hormones in a piece of steak for example.
The fact that we are all living longer while consuming GMOs is some what of an indicator that they aren't killing us. I know thats correlation, but still if we were all dying from consuming GMOs why are we all living longer?
cross pollination is the forced manipulation of a plants genes, GMOs are genetically modified/manipulated organisms it's like taking evolution into our own hands. Let me guess you don't believe in evolution? LOL I won't make that assumption, i'm just kidding. Speaking of that though I don't realize how people can't believe in evolution yet there are countless examples of it seen everyday, including the manipulation of plants genes through cross pollination.
BT cotton does have higher yield, its been studied, calculated, and reported on through non biased peer reviewed journals? Unless there has been an update to the field since mid early 2000s. So what's your point? You proved me right? I CAN LINK SEVERAL PEER REVIEWED ARTICLES WHICH HAVE ANALYZED THIS AND PROVE HIGHER YIELDS THROUGH UNBIASED QUANTITATIVE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS. JUST ASK ME.
I DO NOT agree with that statement of being able to sustain 20 billion people without depleting the earth, but if you can prove me wrong then I will listen. We both agree on the greed, but the difference is I acknowledge the greed and propose ideas around it that are very possible and are currently being worked on. You throw out nice sounding ideas without an actually plan or evidence of if those plans will work, all you say is everyone should grow their own foods..... LOL?
Really? I won't? You better hope you never get cancer, diabetes, a neuro degenerative disease, CNS disease, stroke, or need an organ transplant because those are all of the fields my work has supported, and more actually, but those are the specific diseases I strive to find cures for during my graduate career.
Mr. can't read here wants to keep allowing millions of people to die; he is in the death party. Let us all praise his ingenious plans of sustained farming and saving lives. What a smart guy who hasn't said "a lot of stupid s_ THAT y'all are lapping it up". His evidence is solid and his plans for saving the world are incorruptible and fail-safe.
I'm being such an *** but oh well.
