    People are waking up, and shunning propagandists like you, but not fast enough.

    The use herbicides and pesticides as well, and the soap can be washed off if one is intelligent enough to live.

    That may be, so hate Monsanto, but your objection to Monsanto because of GMOs is irrational.

    Been there, done that. Look at the temple at the begining, in Haridwar. Done that too. Been to the bread basket of India. Help support a school in Uttar Anchal. Your "video is a vast exageration." You still understand little to none about farming, GMOS, or organic farming. It is true that some small farmers made errors in the use of chemicals, but it was a minority. You are a quack. We may be screwing things up, by some ignorant people listening to propaganda. Interesting that you tend to give us information about India. I lived there, with an agronomist, bacteriologist. What you point out IS NOT THE GREEN REVOLUTION BUT RATHER SOME SOUR GRAPE FAILURES.

    btw, THANKS FOR THE CLIP. i enjoyed the movie showing the people and places of India.

    I'm growing uncomfortable with Pacific seafood. Not sure I want that Fukishima stuff on my dinner plate.

    Just the fact they won't label it should make you suspicious. If you know anything about nutrigenomics you'll know how important food are to our genes. Even supplements, people swallow so many omega 3 tablets and other vitamins but you're much better of eating the food. In nature these nutrients rarely occur in isolation, fish is not just omega 3 but a combination of omega 3, protein, calcium, vitamin B12, D etc etc. these all combine and interact on a genetic level.

    Thankfully Australia has labels for gm modified food and I stay well away from it, not feeding my kids the epicyte gene

    Quaker Oats, Breakfast of Future Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma patients!
    :steamed:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/02/business/quaker-oats-100-natural-claim-questioned-in-lawsuit.html?_r=0

    The lawsuit, filed in Federal District Courts in New York and California, contends that such statements are false and misleading. “There is nothing unlawful about Quaker Oats’ growing and processing methods,” the suit says. “What is unlawful is Quaker’s claim that Quaker Oats is something that it is not in order to capitalize on growing consumer demand for healthful, natural products.”
    Well Quaker Oats says All Natural, not Organic.

    Last year, the World Health Organization classified glyphosate as a “probable” carcinogen. (Imagine the lobbying against this designation. To get a probable is probably overwhelming evidence) Since then, environmental and consumer groups have begun to focus their efforts on the pesticide, and a growing number of reports on glyphosate in food have surfaced.

    (glyphosate is associated with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. My neighbor the health nut
    ate lots of "Quaker Oats", really, and tied of Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He was a young man
    with wife and kids. Trim and fit appearing.)


    In a statement, the Quaker Oats Company said that it did not add glyphosate during any part of the milling process but that it might be applied by farmers to certain grains before harvest.

    How about phosphorescent food designed
    so when it doesn't glow,
    you know it turned bad?

    They are poisoning our oats :mad:
    Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,
    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.

    Why! Many secrets are fine whether labeled or not.
    You are the perfect example. You are driven away from GMOs by the very labeling you want. That tells us fear GMOs with any valid reason.The costs associated with labeling far out weighs the value of labeling. All valid research proves the value, without negative reactions. What research HAS proved categorically is that food borne disease is most prominent in ORGANIC food.

    Labeling GMO foods increases the over all costs of food production/distribution and carries with it the possibility that food production will go down and in spite of the FACT that GMOs are safe.

    GMOs and organic food are not polar opposites. Both can be good, or bad, depending on the processes used to handle them. 80% of processed food we eat has some organic component.

    ^^^ That's rubbish... they can add a simple icon/design on existing food labelling to show gm modification, here I'll design one that will save them the trouble

    nnlnn

    now when you see this sign food has been genetically modified. Consumers can now choose, the US is notoriously slack when it comes to food labelling, blaming costs is just an excuse.

    You obviously did not understand my comments about GMO labeling. It is not the cost to create the label, it is the problem with the market. GMOs make up the majority of some varieties of produce. Supposed some under informed people fear GMOs and won't eat them. (All valid research proves that) What do you think we would do with all the food that is grown and not eaten? How many food growers would go broke in the first year or two? The point is simple, adding a label only satisfies the people who fear GMOs without a single valid reason.

    Boo! Scared are you?

    The use of chemicals in growing crops will likely give cancer to 100,000+- people over a 30 to 40 years. So should we stop using it? Absolutely not! Or millions will starve to death in just a few years until another product is created to do the job better.

    Did you even bother to read what other people posted in this thread...it's not my job to educate you.

    the fact you think the moment gmo's are correctly labelled everyone will stop eating them tells me you don't really think it's so harmless after all, your opinion is grounded in fear... fear people won't eat your gmo's....

    perhaps the government should carry some responsibility for allowing food growers to supply gmo's on the scale that it has. They should have labelled from the start and allowed supply and demand to run it's natural course... now they force gmo's on everyone in the US because they f@cked up and they're too scared to admit it.

    Eat beef, lamb, pork and chicken for sustenance.
    Let the critters liver deal with any toxins and enjoy.
    In the Greatest State of California
    antibiotic and hormones are severely limited
    and even Foster's Farms is not running an organic line of chicken.

    I am a top carnivore and now I can feel better about it.

    This is the first valid argument I have heard against GMO labels. Your argument makes sense. Congrats... On another forum I go to almost always talks organics but will be the first to spray BT on their vegetables but wouldn't consider eating corn with a BT gene.

    This is the first valid argument against GMO labeling I have heard ... congrats. I also post on a chicken forum and a lot of people are convinced that organic is the way to go. But... They will spray with BT... But refuse to eat corn with a BT gene.
