Propaganda Bullshit...I wonder how much Monsanto pay`s to have this crap fed into the minds of the Sheeple. Gentically modified food`s are not even close to the real deal, to get the variation`s and resistance to chemicals, many of these supposedly, `SAFE` fruits and vegetables have to be inindated with Virus`s, Bacteria, etc. to create the new version. It is unproven, and the former Bush along with his VP Dan Quale pushed through legislation to hide all these facts, and put these foods on the same level as the real thing, when they are anything but...

um... do you know what genetically modified actually means?
If you take a branch off of one apple tree and graft it to another apple tree, you have a genetically modified apple. The seeds are now genetically modified. Farmers have been doing this for millennia! Some fruit bearing plants will not produce until you graft them.
Other modifications are simply picking the best pollen and best eggs to make the best seed. This is how tomatoes grow larger, corn sweeter, carrots longer.
As for viruses and bacteria, those spread by improper fertilization methods(e.g. improper fertilizer pasteurization, applying ground fertilizer through the air where it can land on the fruit) and improper factory cleanliness.

So Velo73R, stop talking out of your ass, and site your comment if you want to be taken seriously.

What you don`t realize is that there are foods you think are the norm that have been genetically modified already centuries ago. Bananas, for example, wasn`t originally the big yellow crescent shape fruits you now know them as.

Here`s the definition you fucking retard, tha_help, you are so fucking off it`s not even funny. Yes we`ve been mixing seeds, and plant variation throughout human history, but Genetically modified foods are a completely different animal. Maybe it is you who should research, you fucking retard...Here`s the definiton you fuck nut..
Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods made from genetically modified organisms (GMO) that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. The most common modified foods are derived from plants: soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil.[1][2]

This one by the USDA no less. Sites grafting as genetic modification.

If you want the whole story I should be able to get into the library via my college.

Oh, cursing, and name calling is just a sign of ignorance.

^agreed. Believe what i believe or i`ll hurt you. We don`t need people like you around velocity. / ur wrists.

I`ll just say this about GM food, lets put it to a world wide vote. I`m betting the millions of people who don`t have access to a local grocery store, OR have enough money to use that store, will probably agree with more plants in less land.

Fuck your ignorant, arrogant, first-world living ass if you can`t get behind something that saves millions of people.

Seacrest OUT!

+1 for velocity.

When people refer to "GM" foods, they`re talking about labratory altered foods... I know all food we eat can be classified as modified because we "Cultivate" our crops... But seriously, stop fucking taking it out of context and blabbering on about cultivation when you know what kind of "GM" food they mean. It`s the kind that gets its DNA spliced and combined with DNA from other organics things by a guy in a white coat.

Use a bit of common sense and have a look at where they`re using GM products. They`re all over our "first-world living" grocery stores and natural foods are where the poor people are at. Clearly they`re being used in a market where they can make money. 15 years after GM food came out being hailed as a starvation cure, it`s sitting in our shopping isles making us sick and theres still people starving. (suprise suprise)

GM foods are only there to make money for fat rich fagets. They don`t care about you or me, or starving people and the faster you realise that the better.
