I don`t have anyting against GM foods per se. The problem is that GM foods is monopolized by a few companies. So whether or not GM foods CAN feed the world, the question is will companies give them the seeds that they researched and patented to grow for free.

So whether or not you own the land, the buildings or the labour. The GM product belongs to the Company. I know thats how it works chickens in most of America. Chicken farmers own everything except the chickens.

I am concerned that the genetic modification of anything that is then returned to the environment [could] be fucked up on a legendary scale.

GM foods are pushed unnecessarily. Traditional selective breeding methods have always worked so effectively.

ALSO, it`s all very well saying GM can feed the world. BUT, we don`t actually NEED GM crops to feed the world, do we?
Irrigation, soil management, "tractor pooling".
Real Green warriors are out there deperately trying to show people you can solve food shortages without pie in the sky magic bullets, just a bit of machinery and some know-how.

But it`s preferable to let research companies PATENT A SPECIES, and hope they will feed the world for us :/

^ Oh, you must have nodded off through the part of the video where they said that if all the world`s crops were `organic`, we could feed about 2/3 of the population. Now, I`d like to re-iterate Penn`s last point, that you are self-centered and racist.

Re-watch the last 2 minutes of the video.

Erico: The food would be DONATED, as was the offer that was turned down by Zimbabwe. The huge tax cut would be enough to motivate donated food, as well as being humane. Most of these countries are too poor to afford corporate help anyways, and by the time that they have a surplus of income would decades down the road.

If you are a fat fuck then its (in most of the cases) your own fault.

Eat less, do more.

Venomousvole: Selective breeding doesn`t necessarily yield the "selective" characteristics that are wanted. That is leading it to "chance". With genetic modifications, it is MORE efficient, in that they acutely test and select certain genes to be used.

In poorer countries like in the some of the African states, they have manual labor for digging in rock quarries. Why do they do this?~ For money ~> for food. I don`t think they will mind digging in the dirt to plant their own food, rather than; moving around rocks, going to the market, bargaining for what little they can get.

Fuck you organic pushing idiots. You are wasting your time politicizing a ridiculous subject. People need to eat; you spoiled twats want everyone to farm like the ancients. If you want to be "pure", go do it on your own time, but don`t keep food out of starving people`s hands. Your just a bad as the Catholic Church keeping condoms out of Africa. Fuck them and fuck you.

How about eating well and exercising?
Get daily value of protein, carbs, calories, potassium, iron, and GO FOR A JOG!
genetically engineered food is fine with me, just not the hormones that trigger early-set puberty in adolescence.

veg, fruit, lean meat, and limited junks.
HAHAHA- the raw-fooders. lmao

They fail to mention that this GE research costs a lot of money, and the companies that produce them aren`t likely to just "give" them to third world countries, instead making them pay using natural resources or furthering national debt.

This has already happened in the middle east.

"so..uh.. maybe take a gene from a fish and put it in a tomato so that it`s more resistant to frost"
Oh please, where do you people live. It`s common knowledge the Pendant of Thawing gives way more frost resistance than any fish. And it even gives you extra Stamina!!! Start farming those eskimos!
