GMO getting head

[corky1968]

What conspiracy?

World’s top glyphosate experts unanimously agree: Monsanto herbicide is cancerous to humans

 

[Lester Beans]

I am beside myself people try to argue for the GMO and Monsucko. That's like arguing the world is flat. Get educated people. Damn.

Marijuana, Will Monsanto Win the War on Weed?

I am beside myself people try to argue for the GMO and Monsucko. That's like arguing the world is flat. Get educated people. Damn.

I frequently argue for positions I don't hold. I see little value in discussions where everyone agrees with each other.

6 Brands Loaded With GMOs You Should Avoid Buying

Aug. 17, 2016

Here are 6 huge conglomerates aiming to ruin your right to know what is in your food.

http://www.stage2omega.com/

good article. my personal favorite:

4. Nestle/Gerber Co
This company puts GMOs in baby food. Need I say more? The company removed GMOs from baby formulas in South Africa after public pressure forced them to, but it continues to put them in American-sold versions. Formulas like Good Start and others contain GM soybean oil, GM soy lecithin, and GM maltodextrin, as well as corn syrup derived from GM crops. Along with Pepsi-Co and Coca-Cola, the company spent over $1 million to defeat GMO labeling in Washington, and more to defeat labeling in Oregon.

so, if genetically modified food is just peachy why are they spending $millions to prevent the public from finding out it's in their food?

oh shit! that would require you to do a little thinking for yourself.

 

[St. Phatty]

Aside from Monsanto engineering plants and seeds to not be able to reproduce so you're forced to keep buying their product, what are they doing that's evil?

I know very little about GMO or Monsanto.

There's a lot of material but I think one case wraps it up:

Percy Schmeizer.

Canadian farmer.

Monsanto pollen blew onto his land, polluting his crops.

What happened next = Not Good.

Most of the food in the grocery stores today AND almost all fast food contains corn:

• Hambuger comes from corn fed cattle.
• Buns contain high fructose corn syrup.
• French fries are often fried in corn oil
• High fructose corn syrup is the sweetener in most sodas.
• New study suggests most fast-food beef and chicken items come from corn-fed animals.

Are YOU Feeding THIS to YOUR Children?
Most folks assume that a chicken nugget is
just a piece of fried chicken, right? Wrong!
McDonald’s Chicken McNugget is 56% corn?
Chicken McNuggets contain 38 “quasi-edible substances​

There are two major reasons a diet made up almost entirely of corn is a major concern:

• High Fructose corn syrup
• Most corn is genetically modified

5 Reasons High Fructose Corn Syrup Will Kill You

The current media debate about the benefits (or lack of harm) of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in our diet misses the obvious. The average American increased their consumption of HFCS (mostly from sugar sweetened drinks and processed food) from zero to over 60 pounds per person per year.

During that time period, obesity rates have more than tripled and diabetes incidence has increased more than seven fold. Not perhaps the only cause, but a fact that cannot be ignored.

Doubt and confusion are the currency of deception, and they sow the seeds of complacency. These are used skillfully through massive print and television advertising campaigns by the Corn Refiners Association’s attempt to dispel the “myth” that HFCS is harmful and assert through the opinion of “medical and nutrition experts” that it is no different than cane sugar. It is a “natural” product that is a healthy part of our diet when used in moderation.

Except for one problem. When used in moderation it is a major cause of heart disease, obesity, cancer, dementia, liver failure, tooth decay, and more.

Why is the corn industry spending millions on misinformation campaigns to convince consumers and health care professionals of the safety of their product? Could it be that the food industry comprises 17 percent of our economy?

The Lengths the Corn Industry Will Go To

The goal of the corn industry is to call into question any claim of harm from consuming high fructose corn syrup, and to confuse and deflect by calling their product natural “corn sugar”. That’s like calling tobacco in cigarettes natural herbal medicine.

Monsanto is losing millions on failed GM cotton. The company illegally pushed a form of Bt cotton into India and Africa more than a decade ago, but farmers are now pushing back by planting their own indigenous seed.

Monsanto is accused of writing laws and then breaking them to enter the market in India, but after more than 300,000 farmer deaths between 1995 and 2013, many of them attributed to Monsanto, the company is finally paying for their misdeeds. The corporation’s greed is linked to farmer suicides throughout Maharashtra, considered the ‘Cotton Belt’ in India.

The last point in the graphic you posted, idiit, made me think of one of my favorite seed companies, Seed SaversExchange.

Their located in Iowa & have their test fields there as well.

Monsanto also has test fields in Iowa.

I've been meaning to contact SSE to ask them how they keep their corn, specifically, from being contaminated w GM pollen.
I'm not sure if they can!
I planted some Blue corn I'd bought from them and it all grew weird. Just like the corn shown in Mexico in one of those vid documentaries.

Anybody using corn purchased from SSE would be wise to keep a close eye on every single corn plant they grow & report to SSE if they observed suspected contamination.

In any event, this problem will not be solved without educating the public at large about what they are eating.
