Comments on: GM foods http://www.scienceline.org/2008/04/24/gm-foods/ The Shortest Distance Between You and Science Tue, 16 Mar 2010 11:25:44 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Anna http://www.scienceline.org/2008/04/24/gm-foods/comment-page-1/#comment-2184 Anna Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:40:40 +0000 http://scienceline.org/2008/04/24/gm-foods/#comment-2184 I disagree that all food 'tampered' with by science should be avoided - because this doesn't necessarily result in something bad for you. For example, the bread we eat today is the result of two grains that were cross-bred a long time ago, which is technically the tampering of a scientist. And like the main blog said, maybe it's true that some companies are just in GM crops to line their own pockets, but there are GM scientists out there who genuinely want to use GM to help those who need food the most. And this is a pretty good time to start focusing on more food for the poor, you know?

PEOPLE WONDER WHY WE ARE HAVING SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS. IT IS BECAUSE THESE COMPANIES HAVE SO MUCH MONEY THEY PAY THESE PEOPLE IN THE FDA AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS; COLLEGE PROFF'S, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, AND DR'S; TO TELL YOU "EVERYTHING THEY'RE DOING IS OK. WELL GO TO JAPAN,UK, AND EVEN CHINA, AND ASK THEIR SCIENTIST, THEY WILL TELL YOU NOTHING IS OK WITH THAT. BUT AS LONG AS THEY'RE MAKING MONEY, THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU. THIS COMPANY, MONSANTO IS TRYING TO PATENT PIGS FOR GOD SAKE. IF THEY DO THAT THEN THEY CONTROL NOT ONLY THE FOOD IN THE GROUND, ALONG WITH THE FARMERS, THEY CONTROL ALL THE LIVE STOCK FARMERS RAISE : CRAZY STUFF LOOK INTO IT ANY FOOD THAT IS TAMPERED WITH BY SCIENCE, WHETHER IT BE ORGANIC OR LIVING ANIMAL, IT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

I thought they were more the TV dinners and peanut butter type. Also, what exactly is a eunuch seed? You mean terminator technology? Wasn't that a USDA project? You say Monsanto misuses GM technology but then praise drought, heat and cold tolerant crops. Isn't Monsanto making drought tolerant corn? Plants sweating pesticides? You mean Bt proteins? Isn't the source organism for Bt proteins an approved "organic" pesticide? I understand this is an opinion piece, but why not do even a little fact checking? Does ConAgra really make GM seeds?
