RE: The Truth about Genetically Engineered (GMO) Food!!

in #food7 years ago (edited)

Bullshit. Unscientific. Stupid. "GMOs require massive amounts of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides" - quite the contrary! The so-called "natural" ones require these. Not a single link to any scientific research. Just a lie

Sort:  

Here is a study showing Glyphosate (which is sprayed on to roundup ready crops) causes gluten intolerances and it is also a carcinogen, just look at the chemical suits the guys spraying the stuff have to wear... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3945755/

Do your research instead of name calling. Facts are facts, and calling names does not change them. If you want the links, it is now easier than ever for you to get on your own computer, the one on which you are reading this now, and look these things up yourself. You might also look up the ad hominem fallacy, and fallacies in general.

My links show clearly that GMO is harmless

Oh, well then let's ll just go home, problem solved. Your links just saved the day!

Look again.

Glyphosphate is the common pesticide injected into the GMO seed to make it resistant pests. The water that the crops are grown with is treated with this chemical too. No only are we tampering with nature when we alter the genetic structure of any organism, we are consuming the 'frankenstein' creation. I agree conventional crop growing also uses an abundance of pesticides too. It's better to buy organic and locally grown fruit and veg that have been grown using heirloom seeds. Or better still, grow your own. Its' possible, even if you have an apartment. Balconies and window sills are great for growing just about anything. :-) Try the book Permaculture in Pots, Juliet Kemp.
