GMO - No Scientific Reason to Oppose

oh okay well i surely can agree that the sciences in any field should be pursued for the information, but yeah my issue is when its blanketing society and economy. and i cant vouch for the hard sciences behind this because just like you more than likely, it is all hear say or projected data from misc. sources of info that i personally have no actual accord, control, experience, or oversight in. its about as useful as republicans or democrats in comparison the organtic in organtic arguement, i feel sufficent modification of an initial substance or additave or substances not found in nature is inorgantic, but thats not to say we havent already HEAVILY changed what occurs naturally in nature

yeah i think gmos are intrinsically bad because of eventual genetic adaption they push, putting all you're genetic variety in one basket can be super risky too depending on the future. their interplay with chemical ferts such roundup® which is big business in politcs and govt .. Lastly 80 if not 90 or 100% of all this shit could be sustained organicity and if we were properly terraforming and maintaining our planets health at a ground level but we do quite the opposite.

That's a different question.

Dawkins wasn't anything special in the scientific community. He's man who's willing to write books people outside of the scientific community can relate to. I fucking hate that your responses are all youtube videos and i cant stand this motherfucker yelling through my computer tv screen. so im done with this thread. i get you're point though... peace.

http://www.aaemonline.org/gmopost.html and even if you totally disagree with what evidence science HAS found. there are, HUGE ETHICAL implications that we are not being made aware of at large scale...i guess thats the job of an informed citizen though.

now im done.

"This is patently false – genetic engineering techniques allow us to precisely add genes of known structure and function to crops. It would in principle be possible to engineer corn that expresses anthrax toxin, or introduce peanut allergens into soybeans, but this would have to be by malicious intent of the scientists, not some accident. We know how genes work, and we know what kind of protein an individual gene will make."


"Contrast this with a common tool of breeding in organic and non-GMO farming: Mutation Breeding. This is a technique whereby farmers expose seeds to large doses of radiation or chemical mutagens, and then selectively breed the seeds that have useful traits. This process may introduce hundreds or thousands of mutations into the genomes, and breeders cannot know where those mutations are. These mutations will change the shape and functions of proteins, and could, in principle produce new allergens. Despite the fact that this process is manipulating the genome, it’s not considered genetic engineering, and is allowed to be called organic."

Some speculation that Monsanto was behind this... we'll never know for sure!

Gmo are not safe for most part.look Russia they wana nuke us because our GMOs are fucking up the ecosystem.

Not even to the point of gmos not being safe, why should a company own a food supply? farmers are not allowed to save seeds their seeds so they have to buy seed stock every year, that shit gets old... Not to mention if you are not using their seed like a lot of mexican corn farmers, gmo fields growing within pollination radius cross-pollinate then the genetic marker they have a patent on shows up in some innocent farmers corn and monsanto comes a knocking with law suits. Not to mention 7 species already have a resistance to the bt toxin, nonetheless the shit should atleast be labeled so I get a choice in the matter... since when did I lose the right to know whats in my food?
