Genetically Modified Crops Are Safe, Report Says

Well I guess you summed it up on page4 & clarified it again just now lol I'm no finger pointer just wanted to know the big secret about the real skunk not being skunk#1

I'm just waiting for Sam to notice that one! :laughing:

I was using that as an example. Convictions and Perceptions. The bases of which came out of Corky's "real skunk" thread...as someone in there was mentioning that no Skunky Skunk could be found in Skunk #1...which inadvertently (or not) could lead to a whole other story...a perception. People make up all kinds of shit. Just check the old skunk thread.

No...I'm a huge fan of Skunk man. I'm sure that he created the Skunk line..and I'm also sure there used to be skunk smelling expressions within the line. If you look at my profile or in my thread...you'll know that I'm working with Skunk #1 outcrosses of my own.

Jericho Mile if you buy a pack of seedsman skunk #1 today which is Sam's line you will not find a skunky skunk.

I bet you the price of the pack that you won't and that's the truth. If Sam wants to restock seedsman with fresh stock so they have skunky phenos then I for one would welcome that but as it stands it a bland, boring smoke.

That doesn't mean what you have is no good, you possibly have older seed stock to play with? Not the current seedstock that is bland, tasteless & no better than birdseed.

There you go.... I just lit the paper....

I agree with you. I used Flying Dutchman's Skunk #1...which is as close to what Sam brought over as Seedsman's (his words)...it's all super well bred fruity Skunk...and is why I have outcrossed it. I outcrossed it in '08...work with it here and there...for fun. You can get away from the fruit through outcrossing. But....to each their own. I've never thought 80's skunky Skunk was any better than what goes around today. I remember it.

Maybe it needs to be genetically modified. Perhaps technology is not so bad...when taken in perspective and not scorned upon...well never mind...a lot of new technology is scorned upon by the peanut gallery...until someone instructs them to feel different.

Now days GMO = Monsanto chemical tyrants taking over the food supply and poisoning the world...careless...ruthless corporate gods with no humanity.

so says the mainstream.....

I myself do not see it that way. I gather there are always at least two sides to every coin....and the cup appears 1/2 full to me. Going backwards is not an option people have anyway.

* Only a few years ago almost all growers bagged on feminized seed. Not anymore. New perspectives? Seeing the light? More than one way to skin a cat....we shouldn't denounce all the ways of getting from A to B. We should and will explore options. Some will have to go kicking and clawing. So be it.

Tobacco is safe, oil is clean, retirement funds guaranteed, mortgages faultless and of course all GMO modifications ecologically sound because the good ol' USA government is and has been engaged in regulating them all the whole time.

Genetic modifications for the purpose of prioritizing food stock is like adding pirating monitoring in an operating system, at best. At worst it is like getting a pitbull to protect the family and the thing eats everyone.

Doubt GMO's come up in the Hilary/Trump questionings.....

The problem with all this is that the FDA had put the producers of GMO's in charge of testing whether or not the GMO products are safe for consumption! Private studies have show GMO food crops lead to Cancer more even than the use of Glyphosphate, roundup, to treat crops with herbicide!

The Public has been left completely in the dark. over 90% of the products in a regular grocery store in the USA are produced with GMO food sources. BT Corn, sugar beets, soon every vegetable available unless WE the PUBLIC STOP BUYING THESE PRODUCTS.

I shop at a Natural Grocer and on occasion Whole Foods also grow my own organics.

Only the Spread of this Knowledge can lead to meaningful change within OUR community.

WAKE UP!

sure you will state that usda and others permit a very small % of contamination but thats better than being 100% GMO Eh?

The problem is that the Monsanto Crooks are taking peoples farms that get pollinated because the farmers don't test and re use their own seed annually like in the old days.

Kill the Monsanto FARMERS and we WIN THE WAR! No more Moronsanto, Bayer, Eli Lilly etc and we good!

I feel like this whole GMO/glyphosate thing is like the Hunger Games, if you are presented with the truth and still continue to eat it well then you will have to accept the consequences as grim as they may be.

Now if you are presented with the truth and refuse to eat it, well you win the game, you graduate to the next level.

I once watched a Nat Geo documentary about baboons living in Africa. A scientist had studied this group of baboons for decades when he first started studying this group the alpha males we strong, easily agitated and very aggressive. One day he followed the baboons to the dump, there was a pile of meat at the dump, the territorial aggressive alpha males were the first to rush in and defend their find, the alpha males ate all of the meat. Well it turns out the meat was poisoned and all of the alpha males died off leaving the much weaker and docile males to rule. Withing 1 generation the temperment of the beta males had taken over, the group had swayed from angry and aggressive and very strong to the complete opposite.

Soy what do we know about soy, well soy produces excess estrogen in males, now all of the sudden our men are becoming less manly, perhaps there is a correlation since our food is absolutely stuffed with soy. Soy is #1 GMO crop.

Now this isn't the only hormone disrupting compound in our life, your anti bacterial soap, your shampoo, your body wash, your tooth paste, they are all loaded with hormone disrupting chemicals.

You are what you eat, if you eat a lot of soy you may just start wanting to sit to pee.

All I know is that people who are lucky to have 5 acres of unused land should
all start growing Heirloom veggies and stuff. Not that they can produce 100%
of what they eat but just some.

I have one family member who I want to smack at times for not doing so.
He's reluctant to leave me plant anything because he knows of my disease
as well.

Aka. I won't able to make a large garden without sneaking something smelly in the mix. :laughing:

I am in the opposite camp to you when it come to GM food & seeds.. The proof is in the pudding Monsanto is already responsible for a number of deaths..

Good old Dr. Vandana Shiva. How many documentaries have you seen her in? Many. Not saying her heart is in the wrong place...but man...she's made a name for herself....I'll give her that.

Are they really blaming farmer suicide on Monsanto and GMO crops? Come on.

I'm in the objective camp, dude. I've said it so many times now...but that's not what people want to hear on here. They want to hear:

"GMOs are poisoning the world and killing the planet....GMOs are bad!!!!" It's all in this thread...the exact sentiments almost word for word.

And who are these people? Nobody....just schmoes like you and me.

The world does not work that way. It's not black and white. If you have not learned that by now...it's getting late

Do you have the time to maintain a 5 acre garden? Have you even worked on a farm? That's a massive amount of work, time, and money.

Christ, man...if the world were so simple

You...and I can tell...are eating from a grocery store. You are a grocery store...reading labels...buying because of labels...and patting yourself on the back for it. You have no idea what you are eating or where your food comes from.

That's reality. Say what you will....but I wager you are wearing GMO cotton...thinking highly of yourself

People need to take responsibility for themselves true but the government world order is in charge of disinformation and coverups in nearly everything related to GMO's.

The Nay Sayers need to watch

SEEDS OF DEATH available to stream free on youtube

Seeds of Death by Gary Null...a conspiracy theorist who also does not believe AIDs is caused by HIV...

it's the top anti GMO propaganda documentary on the market.

I've seen it. Scary stuff. Too scary....if you were to believe it hook, line, and sinker

It has an agenda...like they all do. Fear mongering comes in many forms...The title screams it out!!!!!! You have to have that hooking title.

Did I tell you?...I used to facilitate rhetoric for Green Peace back in the early 90's. Yeah...there are methods...even the hippies used. In the end...it came down to making the organization money. I did that for them and for me. They understood completely. No illusions.

the 2 sides of the same coin...but there for the same thing.
