@captwasabi Use of the f-bomb is immature and a non-starter in our conversations. We can't approve your full comment (as submitted), but you can resubmit. SUGGESTION: Learn (today) how epithets become epitaphs for your involvement in a rational online dialog. We suspect that your habits of deliberate ignorance and complete disrespect will mark you as a potential Darwin Award candidate. Good luck with that.

@captwasabi Polio vaccinations = Good for most, good for eradicating polio. GMO = BAD. Period. . seedsofdeception . com If GMO food production is a "closely regulated industry", then the standard is much too low. ~~ captwasabi @KCFoodCircle " the current restrictions on plant and animal research (pertaining to development of GMO/GE foods) are much too loose for an adequate level of public safety" Are you f...

@wxyzca2000 was your comment aimed at all corn in general? or just gmo corn?

@Toffelkungen - The planet will not be able (and should not be pressed that far) to support some "9 billion people", no matter how "efficient" our crop production. There will be LESS arable land soon, LESS fresh water for crops... and the fossil-fuel-based fertilizer and pesticides and INFRASTRUCTURE required to maintain GMO crops is being depleted faster and faster every year. In one hundred years, we have gone thru HALF the world's oil supply. BALANCE is key, as unlimited GROWTH is a myth.

"t is not a long stretch to call what is going on now "bio-terrorism" and we've allowed it to happen" i prefer calling it 'genetic pollution' the strongarm tactics used by monsanto et al against small farmers do border on terror, but thats i different ball o wax excellent vid. thanks. farmers need to be heard

i 2nd that

We need to tell our legislators, first, that the current restrictions on plant and animal research (pertaining to development of GMO/GE foods) are much too loose for an adequate level of public safety. We can't prosecute for things that are not yet a crime. Yes, I agree - it is not a long stretch to call what is going on now "bio-terrorism" and we've allowed it to happen to ourselves. The public needs to speak out and demand change, now.

Truth in Labeling The big movers and shakers out there keep attacking our right to know what is in our foods. The best way to fight them off is to stay in touch with your legislators and STAY VIGILANT. We've fought too hard in the past to let them take away our protections and rights as consumers.
-
Yes, it is a hard life. Policy change must happen to protect these (relatively) small organic growers from legislation which protects the larger (subsidized) operations. GMO education is happening in leaps and bounds, and changes may come quicker as oil and other resources become less affordable. Keep up the good work, people.

Clarification about CORN SYRUP HFCS (High-Fructose Corn Syrup) contains a naturally-occuring enzyme which fools our body's normal "I'm done" sensor. Avoid it and protest the broad use of it, and producers will use less of it or switch to regular sugars. This has been accomplished in other countries - we can do it, too. Processing of HFCS "kills" most of the bad GMO, so far as we know (right now...). Small comfort, I know. Read books by Jeffrey M. Smith and be ALERT!!
-
Clarification on "DUST" from GMO produce from the farm: The "DUST" that Lee refers to is grain dust or friction-"flour" left over from transferring the product from field to processor. The GMO-laden dust must be CLEANED from the trucks and from any other equipment that may eventually be used to move NON-GMO products, else the testing facility may find the remains of GMO dust in every load - in this case, the tarp alone held enough dust to cause the sensors to mark the ORGANIC load as GMO.

its sad that almost all seeds come from the seed bank and are gmo,s
-
Thank you to all the Organic Farmers who care enough about our food sources to try and preserve it. Yes we must at least have GMO products labeled. Most people do not have any idea that they may be consuming GMO. Public Education is mandatory to protect our food sources in this country.
-
Totally agree...if only we could make it all"go away" This stuff has never been tested properly. Unnatural, unneccessary and unsafe!
-
I agree, I have never heard of a study of GMO foods that was not rigged, that ever provided information of them being safe.
-
So right.
-
Anyway... it's just wrong to put potentially dangerous plant varieties into the mix, making guinea pigs of whole populations of people. Let the genome gnomes test the stuff on themselves if they think it's so safe.
