ha ha ha. Do you really believe what you are saying, or are you a media sheep?
I am actually in school to get into the field.
Plus most media sheep actually believe what they are saying when they regurgitate ideas. They just don't have an understanding of the information to justify their belief in whatever subject they are talking about. They usually just use appeals to authorities such as news stations.
Do you know that most gmo plants contain roundup in their dna?
The plants don't contain Roundup in their DNA. The GMO plants do not produce this particular herbicide as a protein within itself. However, GMO plants have been made to be Roundup-ready. This means that they have been modified in a way so that Roundup will not harm the plant. This is accomplished by the insertion of nature genetic information found in a type of bacteria that was already resistant to the Roundup. It naturally had this gene because some other micro-organisms produce something similar to Roundup which it would kill off the ones that didn't have resistance.
the bees die when they pollinate the plants.
This is not what is happening. Even if you look at the reports.The bees are dying to something called colony collapse disorder. This disorder seemed to be caused mainly by nutritional stress. So what does this have to do with GMO? Directly? Nothing. Indirectly? A lot. Because of Roundup-ready crops, and other herbicide-resistant crops, it means that farmers use more herbicides which include Roundup. This kills off a lot of the other plants that the bees rely on for a healthy diet. There are other factors going on such as increased use of pesticides which stress the bee's bodies even more. There has also been an increase in certain fungus pathogens in many regions over the last 20 years which are probably involved in causing colony collapse disorder. The reason for the increase in these fungi are not well understood, but could very well be because they are more successful in the monoculture environments. So, the bees dying have a lot to do with do with modern farming technique but it is no direct link to GMOs. Not all GMO are pesticide-ready and herbicide-ready, and those shouldn't be lumped into the pile at all because they don't even indirectly cause the disorder as they do not make farmers feel safer with their usage of pesticides and herbicides.
No. Do you eat fertilizer?
well why do you want to eat it?
Because there would be no benefit and there could likely be harm when having it in huge doses.
Does eating this gmo change your dna?
No.
So an animal is fed the gmo plant as food, then you eat the animal after it's dna was changed, then your dna changes & then what? do you get tumors, dementia,cancer or just turn into a zombie? yeah, sounds good & healthy to me. good for my kids & grandma too.
The animals DNA doesn't change because of it. Our DNA doesn't change because we eat those animals.
Actually, in the US these gmo seeds/plants are patented & we now have fewer varieties of non gmo food/seed because monsanto has bought the other seed companies out & destroyed the seed.
This is true and its something I hate about Monsanto. However they did not destroy the seeds. They have them locked away in safe areas and do not sell them. Monsanto isn't a stupid organization, just a greedy one. They know that having a ton of different seeds on the market would make it harder for them to produce, sell and keep up with all the contracts. However if a crop rust, or another type of crop disease, started killing off a large number of crops they could easily just pull out a different strain and start selling that. However they would probably genetically engineer that strain as well.
This was, however, going on before genetic engineering began. Seed companies would only have only a few varieties of seeds available even though they had a large supply of other seeds that were safely being produced and saved for future generations. They sold only a few varieties for the same reasons that Monsanto does today but they weren't GMOs. So why did the farmers keep buying seeds? Most plants today are hybrids and it is very difficult to breed them in such a way that they continue to keep all the traits you want them to. If they were to try to continue to use the seeds from their corn crop after just one or two generations they would start seeing tons of variety in the plants that would be unwanted.
Therefore, when everyone is planting the same corn, 1 bug or disease can kill the entire crop on the planet.
Non variety causes worldwide famine.
Oh & you're right, food is soooooooo much cheaper. ha ha ha
I think I already went over most of this. The same strain is good for the grower and for the seed seller, but it has dangers that I don't like them risking. I do not like many of the practices being employed by the seed companies or large scale growers, but I understand why they do the things they do. It does make food a lot cheaper and it does make larger harvests, but it has a lot of negative side effects as well. I think the positive benefits of GMOs outweigh the bad, but that is not saying that I don't think that the negative effects are not a problem. People need to stand up and do their part in getting rid of the problems caused by the methods, but we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water.
