Technically we&#039;ve been modifying the genes of plants, and animals, for centuries, is that natural? So majority of the food you eat today, both animal, plant, or fungi, have had their genes modifyed from their &quot;wild-type&quot; state. All living organisms contradict the laws of physics, so is life itself natural?- this is known as the naturallistc fallacy.Which corporations? I never talked about such corporations nor stated that I trust them. - straw man, and a bit of non sequitur, with a pinch of ad hominem.Oh information is suppressed is it? And studies that are not supportive of GMO are probably not published?
Prove it. Give me credible references to those statements. Without proof, you are either lying or delusional. I&#039;m not biting your conspiracy bullocks.No, I&#039;m sorry mate, but PubMed is amoung the most reliable source for credible, peer-reviewed journals and publications with regards to all subjects biological. There actually are very few other websites that are more trust worthy than PubMed. So yes I do think everything is okay. Try doing credible research yourself.Your quote about Monsanto is known as cherry picking, again another fallacy.&quot; - be skeptical and don&#039;t be fooled by the lies, propaganda and brainwashing force-fed to us by the media. - &quot; Take your own advise mate.Prehaps instead of drawing out red herring fallacies, why not actually argue the science of GMO for use as food? Or maybe you are not qualified to argue scientific facts?Cheers.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Define natural.

Are you NUTS??!!A lot of the information is suppressed and studies that are not supportive of GMO are probably not published. The world is corrupt and these corporations have the money to buy politicians and threaten people who want to expose the truth. You think everything is okay just because you went on Pubmed? You need a little bit more common sense.Did you know that Monsanto was fined for BRIBING government officials to refrain from doing scientific studies on the environmental impact of GM cotton?Don&#039;t trust biased science studies backed by billion dollar corporations, be skeptical and don&#039;t be fooled by the lies, propaganda and brainwashing force-fed to us by the media.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh, so you want to eat genetically modified food that is totally unnatural and unproven to be safe?</p><p>You actually trust these corporations??

isPermaLink="false">http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/?p=4490#comment-181605</guid> <description>What a load of rubbish.
This film starts off with the WWII nuclear bombings of Japan, the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers, and then moves onto the Indian girl that performs for money. All of these are non sequiturs and are intentional plays on the emotion. They have nothing at all to do with the matters discussed in this film, and are merely added to make people emotional or angry. Good psychology, but very irresponsible journalism.We are also told at the begining of the film that all the information in this film presents &quot;incontrovertible scientific evidence, appearing in some of the best known peer reviewed scientific journals&quot;, yet, there are no references to these papers anywhere in the film, not even in the credits. After watching this &quot;film&quot; I went on PubMed to see if any of the so called facts presented here could hold up to their claims, I found no such papers. The majority of the papers actually seem to point to the general safty of GM (in particular Bt). I only skimmed through the abstracts so I won&#039;t be giving references, but go ahead search for these papers on PubMed yourself.Further more. GM foods, in particular the corn, soya, potatoes, etc. for the most part are only limited to animal feed, so when they say &quot;we are all eating GM foods&quot;, they mean that we eat it only after it has been processed by animals. The chances that &quot;toxins&quot; remains in the steak are riduclously low. Under that logic, everytime we eat a steak, we are getting a mouthfull of grass.Next, Bt is a protein, and most GM plants are made to produce enzymes or antibodies, all of which are proteins. Now when a protein enters our digestive tract, we break it down into the amino acids that form the protein in question. What this means is that the protein doesn&#039;t exist anymore, only the amino acids that make it are there, and so the protein CAN&#039;T do anything to you after it has been digested. This is basic biology.
Now there are some cases on which a protein may cause a reaction even after consumption, but this is rare, and there are a myraid of experiments that are conducted in order to make sure that this does not, and can not occur. These rules are applicalbe to the metabolite variety of GMO&#039;s (a metabolite generally isn&#039;t broken down and has functionality after consumption; like vitamins).The StarLink corn issue was a mistake, it was intended for animal use only, yet through various regulatory problems it entered into human products. I didn&#039;t both researching the supposed allergic reaction it caused because I don&#039;t have time right now, nor do I think it reflects on the saftey of GM as it was not intended for humans.I won&#039;t even get started on the people that they chose to put in this film, very few seemed credable. I would never trust a relegious guru to give advice on scientific studies unless he has a credible degree and conducts research himself. And I won&#039;t even get started on large amount of logical fallacies in this film.Trust science, be skeptical, and don&#039;t be fooled by conspiracy and intentional charlatianism.Cheers.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What a load of rubbish.<br

By and large I agree with you but things are moving:  Everyone is getting sick of Patent crap across the board and the rebellion is well underway.  I doubt it will be possible to copyright any genetic process in 10 years time.  And the pesticide thing has hit the wall several times already - but now we have some new generation gear that enables us to go back to older, safer ones so thats what will happen there.  As for dumping - yes, I couldnt agree more.  Everytime I hear this &quot;The world is getting too big how are we going to feed everyone&quot; CRAP I just want to break things - we could probably have a population of 100 billion, not 7, and its room we&#039;d run out of not food.  But an important point - GM foods have saved us several times over by delivering crops that resist all sorts of nasties that Nature threw at us. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah but its not that simple and thats one of the problems &#8211; people think its that simple.
