GMO is all about control....why is so much corn and soy GMO?....things that make you go hmmmm....12, and counting
That already has to do with US government subsidies of grains.GMO is all about control....why is so much corn and soy GMO?....things that make you go hmmmm....
I think a MASSIVE part of the problem people have with GMO is a misunderstanding of the word. Which is VERY funny to me especially coming from a community of people who rely on a plant that is a GMO. If science can take 2 different species of wheat and selectively breed them to be able to flourish in a country without ideal agricultural conditions, wheres the great harm in that? Now replace wheat with Cannabis in the scenario above and you have 95+% of cannabis strains existing today.I'm all for feeding the planet, but GMO anything scares me. It might be an option for an over populated African country that is starving, but there is no way I support genetic modification in North America, and never for cannabis - anywhere, ever.
You literally adressed nothing I brought up about GMOs and what they actually are, which are selectively bred plants made to address any issues a farmer may face based on environment that negatively impact agriculture. Not fucking sprays, which I never mentioned, stay on topic. And do you SERIOUSLY think ONE company controls the thousands of varieties of corn in the world? SMFHThey're modified in order to produce higher yields...or kill a bug....or resist a mold....if you have these problems in your garden do you douse the problem in spite of the plant?....and why should one company have control of the fucking corn?....because there's so much you can do with corn....hmmmmm.....
I hate Monsanto too but wheres the science behind this exactly? Id be curious to see. Not some GreenPeace funded shit either. Actual peer reviewed data that shows selective breeding guarantees fewer nutrients. Sounds like bullshit. And its not like anyone else on the ENTIRE planet has worked on this besides Monsanto right?.........The problem that is showing up is these modified foods are proving to have low nutrient and mineral counts.
Some leap forward , people have to buy / eat more to stay nourished , what brilliant work by Monsanto's bean counters hey !
We owe them a great debt for this service right ? I think not
Sadly, pretty much!And do you SERIOUSLY think ONE company controls the thousands of varieties of corn in the world? SMFH
There are an estimated 2.1 million farmers in the USA and a further 293,925 in Canada. Estimates place the adoption of GM varieties of canola, corn, cotton and soybeans in the 90 percent range, in both countries. Given that many farmers in the USA grow either corn or soybeans, or both, 90 percent is a number that commonly used by the ag industry to refer to the percentage of American farmers using GM crops. In Canada, 97 percent of canola is GM, while 100 percent of corn is GM and about 80 percent of soy production, so a comparable figure of 90 percent is reasonable there as well. Based on this, over 2.07 million of 2.3 million farmers in North America produce GM crops on a yearly basis.
Sadly is rightSadly, pretty much!
A quick google revealed....
I hate them as well. My beef is how they use GMO, if what I read is true. Breeding seeds to be resistant to glysophate, one of the main harmful ingredients in Round Up may have seemed like good science to some, but now that glysophate has been detected in processed foods you have to ask yourself is it worth it. Maybe it is just me, but I would rather eat tree bark than poisoned food, approved by the FDA or any other country's bogus regulatory agency.I hate Monsanto too but wheres the science behind this exactly?

You obviously have a misunderstanding of the word. Selective breeding is not GMO!I think a MASSIVE part of the problem people have with GMO is a misunderstanding of the word.

Different varietals which were selectively bred to achieve specific results, whether increased yield, potency, pest or mould resistance......the list goes on. People have a vast misconception that fucking genes are being spliced and so on. Man o man have people forgotten basic plant biology and science for that matter? Haha
