Don't believe the GMO apologists

Here's a concept - shit. Why are we processing our human waste is sophisticated plants designed to eradicate our offal, instead of redistributing it to farms as a much-needed natural fertilizer? It worked for most of the agricultural world for over 2,500 YEARS, people. Oil is needed elsewhere, not in our agricultural system.
GM foods have become a real pariah and a major bone of contention for too many people - let's all just give it a rest. If even one GM plant has been allowed to flower out of doors, chances are high that there are millions of GM traces all over the planet at this point. You might even be chomping down on a corn cob with GM genes right now, and wouldn't really know it. Food is food, people, and unless you're growing it yourself and have a lab to test the DNA structure of what you eat, you really have no idea what's going in to you. Perhaps if you're healthy, you should spend that energy on something more important, like making sure your neighbor has enough food for her family, or that the nice cheap coffee you're drinking is made with beans from a properly compensated farm, or that the local elementary school has enough funds to allow for a music department or field trips. There are so many causes that need immediate help, and they're SO much more important than whether or not there's some pig DNA in your tomatoes...

On August 26,1859, the first oil well derick was completed outside of Titusvill,Pa.Within the following 10
years,the first Big Oil Co.had so entrenched itself in Wall
Street,N.Y. that they instituted "Wheat Futures" finding
a way to speculate,hedge their bets,and expoit the
honest,hard working people of the USA with their first
"money for nothing" con game.Simultaneously,Big Oil's
unbridled Capitalism decided that by Corporate takeover
of the Banks,family farms,and the millers(spelled Mueller
auf Deutch)they could make 300% profit by separating
out the starch,bran and germ of the wheat and selling it
to 3 different markets instead of not interfering with the
whole wheat bread that's been the staple of life for the past 5,000 years.The Atkins Diet Revolution revealed
in its research that the incidence of degenerative
diseases in the USA based on nutritional defiencies
were virtualy unknown before Big Oil diversified and
interfered with family farms by selling them artificial
fertilizers,pesticides,fungicides.Before Big Oil became
Big Chemical, farmers & orchardkeepers would use
natural means like spraying nicotenic acid from grow
ing their own tobacco to keep insects away. They'd
rotate crops, and fertilize the soil with animal fesces
to keep it organicly supportable.By their criminal
interference with the public health,they weakened the
life force of the USA's citizens.Then,Big Oil/Big Chemical
became Big Drug. Obviously they couldn't resist the
opportunity to develop drugs portending to cure the
very diseases they'd created by exploiting those poor
folks whose family genomes they'd mutated with their
corruption of God's natural plan. You must've noticed
that the medical profession has been also subverted
by Big Oil/Big Chemical/Big Drug. Doctors don't visit
the sick & injured on horseback anymore.They have
too much demand to have time to do that.And once
Big Oil/Big Chemical/Big Drug combines in its Criminal
Conspiracy to Violate the Human Rights of the poorest
by becoming Big Genetic Modification also,watch out.
Optimal human health depends on an enzyme to anti
body ratio of 48 to 1. So when the food you eat is already so naturaly enzyme deficient that it barely
ripens at all. And these devils tell you you need to
"trust" them to interfere further by monkeying up all
our food supply after using poor Africans as test mice...
Then remember that the word "Trust" is a synonym
for the term "Monopoly" Thank God for the honest
H.R. Rep. who has been reintroducing articles of
impeachment against Big Oil Bush. He understands
the pattern of Racketeering which Big Oil has been
orchestrating for the past 150 years. And has also
introduced food safety legislation in the H.R. We,as
citizens,of the USA shouldn't have to tolerate the
unbridled evil that is Genetic Modification by Big Oil.
Incidently,the Syracuse New Times comes out with
a special edition once a year which features the top
10 most CENSORED news stories. Guess how long
this subject of genetic modification has been on the
B-ibliography LOG of source material they don't want
you to know about??? The U.K. of the Netherlands
also understands this food crisis. In 1990 they enacted
a 10% per yr over 10 year phaseout of the use of any
artificial anything to monkey up the Earth,Water,Food.
Got to hand it to my breathren over there, our home
land may be small but it's our People who are Big.

Thank you.

Thanks Jan for all of the wonderful info and resources on this topic.

Why is it never mentioned on current tv?

Because being against GM food is fucking STUPID. Not kinda stupid, not just a misunderstanding caused by ambiguous reporting, IT'S FUCKING RETARDED.

I cringe to even post in these threads because no one on the "naturalist" side even cares to rationally discuss what is actually dangerous about GM foods. It's ironic that they call GM food apologetic science when it's THEM who are distorting facts for tradition's sake. Sure Monsanto is full of shit and they're greedy as fuck, but being against GM food is so stupid on so many levels that literally just attempting to think about it gives me brain ulcers. It's almost as bad as creationism.

But that's as far as I go, as Jan will vomit all over me for disagreeing with her. Even though she has no idea how genetics works and does not care to learn. If you want to understand the REAL hazards of GM foods weighed against the REAL benefits, send me a PM. I'll be willing to give you the actual scientific facts instead of "frankenfood," greenpeace, dumbfuck appeals to fear fallacies.

If you have beef with Monsanto and their bullshit copyright practices and their disgusting, carcinogenic pesticides and hormones, by all means spread the word against their bullshit business practices. But I will NOT accept this utter fear mongering about GM foods. But I also don't care to discuss with anyone who isn't willing to listen to how the science actually works. Again, send me a PM if you're curious and would like to see a side of the story besides Jan's.

This may sound naive, but, there are other sites like this on the web..probably thousands...right. How can we get to every one of them to insert these immensely important issues? So.. more people can read.. an underground link, so to speak. Am I speaking crazy or are the specs too immense?

The way things are, you'd think that current would at least run a weekly blog about this on their site. I can't understand why these stories get pushed down. Is it because no one really wants to know what is going on?

I don't really have a problem with GM foods as long as they're extensively tested for safety, and clearly labeled when sold. Too bad GM corporations will pay, bully, or fellate anyone to get their way.

Another topic American media won't touch with a ten foot pole in order to cover the butts of their corporate sponsors.

gm, like our feeding our food supply of cattle and pigs animal "by-products" is a frankenstien awaiting to turn on us

That photo speaks 1000000 words. Of course there is a pattern and no I am not a conspiracy nut....just know that wealth is in the hands of a few and they cohabit each other's stock holdings.

I grabbed this from the article posted....

"The recently published UN IAASTD (International Assessment of
Agricultural Science and Technology for Development )report, the work of more than 400 international scientists, about the future of global food production under the challenges of climate change and population pressure, concluded that GM crops do not have much to offer."

and this...

"the IAASTD report acknowledged organic farming's real potential to help feed the world in an era of rising oil prices and the urgent need to cut greenhouse gases, because organic systems use solar energy and clover to fix nitrogen in the soil, not oil and gas."

nice~ Thanks JanforGore
