I think this should be looked at from a pollution aspect. You can grow what you like, but you need to make sure you're not pollution the natural gene pool.
Does anyone here support the dumping of untested chemicals into our water supply?
How about untested (for human health) genes into our food supply?
I don't think companies should have any restriction on growing GMOs. But I do think they need to ensure they don't pollute natural gene pools and their products must be labelled. If GMOs are superior give consumers a choice.
Maybe if these companies made more nutritious foods or something to help consumers. Instead they make them resistant to their own herbicide, thereby increasing the use of the herbicide for more profits. It is totally self serving.
And there have been massive GMO crop failures. What has been doing really well? Small biodiverse farms, which have been shown conclusively to give more output per acre than conventional farming. They just require much more planning and smaller scales. Local sustainable farming is going to fix our food problems, not GMOs.
UN report says organic small farms hold key to feeding the starving people of the world....
It requires education of farmers on the most sustainable and effective practices. Decentralize the knowledge back to farmers away from patented gene bullshit.

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." Albert Einstein

that video was dumb, splitting dna into wheat isnt dangerous because you eat dna when you eat a strawberry

what was she saying though?
thats what i got from it, they splice random genes into food is safe because when you eat food, you eat dna anyways
i didnt like her, she had an anser for everything and looked shiftey
reminded me of atheist who spout their shit worse then religious people spouting the opposite shit
gm is same as selective breeding, but with fewer restrictions--really that similar?
no stats that eating gm food has done anything to anyones health--maybe not but where are the stats that it hasnt, plus alot of the food that they gmo are for shitty possessed foods that are bad
pollen will only fall straight down again pollen will spread i doubt it will stay in the field forever, whether from an animal, i sorta doubt her when she says the wind cant blow it
selective breeding made an ugly blue bull because theres an ugly blue bull, that makes gm stuff ok?
maybe these researchers are good guys, i just dont like this chick in this vid for some reason

as opposed to the anti GMO/Monsanto crowd that has no answers, if she didnt have answers then you'd say you didnt like her, she had no answers and looked shifty

possessed foods? I guess that explains your atheist statement. demons need to eat too
really? she's supposed to prove something that hasnt happened?
"nothing happened today and here's the proof in this box [ ]"
the majority of the world has been eating GMOs for more than a decade, this round up ready seed mentioned has been out for 20 years and canola oil is used for cooking so many things, other GMOs like soy and corn have been around even longer... how many people have grown an extra head from it?
dont have an answer... that's sketch
do have an answer, that's very sketch

part of the experiment she's talking about covers that, wheat and barley planted right next to it to see if they pick up any of the pollen, not all pollens will carry for miles

I don't trust pollen either. Fucking pollen; always not doing things that I don't want them to do.
