**** Monsanto and the GMO Industry.

After a nearly 10 month hiatus from CP... I present you with my latest tinfoil-conspiracy-kook bitch session.

---
A recent peer-reviewed study on the effects of routine exposure to "safe" levels of Monsanto's GM corn and the chemical herbicide Roundup have revealed that the two toxins are directly linked to causing cancerous tumors. Since this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it is noted that nearly every female rat in the study also developed mammary cancer.

This study, which was published in the highly-reputable journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, showed how rats fed a diet containing Monsanto's NK603 Roundup-resistant GM corn, which is widely cultivated in the U.S. today, died much earlier than GM-free control rats. Even rats fed just GM corn that had not been treated with Roundup ended up developing multiple ghastly tumors, indicating that some component of GM corn itself, apart from Roundup, is responsible for causing cancer.

It's fundamentally challenging for "Real" science in a world increasingly dominated by corporate influence.

Russia nows bans GMO corn. And in America, we can't even LABEL the GMO foods.

It's ironic we have to put the igredients and such on all of our food lables but we can't label GMO.

It's not that ironic. Not when this shit happens.

Roundup will not be used forever.

Already on its way out for some.

People don't give a rats ass about this. Here at CP you are a paranoid hippie if you don't take in your toxins like a man.

Some actual solid scientific studies could go a long way in getting people to accept some truth. Here's an idea, control the experiment group significantly better and some of these confounding variables will go away.

Since this happened to every rat in this study, it must happen to every human who eats corn right?

Just eat your GMO foods and already.

GM foods are perfectly fine. Including herbicide into GM foods is not fine at all. It's sad that so many people can't make the distinction, and blur the issue with stuff like this.

GM foods have actually saved millions of lives in the grand scheme of things. But "GM foods" or "GM Corn" covers a huge diversity of products some good some bad, which is never pointed out by these "Studies". "GM Foods" does not mean radioactive mutation type of things like many people think, and many articles would lead you to believe.

Monsanto is certainly an evil corporation for many corporation reasons, but the overwhelming majority of the GM foods they provide are perfectly safe for human consumption.

Herbicide modified corn is very likely bad. But that's not an accurate representation of GM Foods or the GM Industry. Currently just about every single local supermarket uses perfectly safe GM Foods. Including such particulars as Whole Foods..

Don't hate the overwhelmingly positive value of GM Foods as a whole because of an individual shitty strain. Hate Monsanto, but don't hate GM Foods.

All we ask is for it to be labeled, then those that don't mind eating something not naturally found can have at it and those that don't won't.

Well it's interesting that you say that. Because Monsanto GM Foods go through the most labelization and federal regulation of any foods available. Ironically, they go through much more labeling and regulation than "Organic" labeled food by far.

And the truth of the matter, you have no ****ing clue what you're eating. Or where it's been, or what it's been sprayed with or touched by. You rely 100% on a federal regulation system that you know absolutely nothing about. If you actually knew what had rubbed up against the food you eat, or crawled over, or shit on, you would probably vomit. But the regulation system you criticize prevents you from a large majority of the issues that would normally incur with the involvement of food processing.

I'm not worried about the bugs, etc I want to know what has been Genetically tampered with. Should be fairly simple and then we can let the people cast their votes with their wallets. Those on the side of GMO are mostly wal martians.

do you know what a gene really is? do you know what a promotor is? how about an enhancer? intron? exon? splicing site? adenine? guanine? thymine? purines? pyrimidines? the different types of polymerases?

I'm not trying to be insulting here, but there are certain times that your lack of knowledge of the basic levels of genetics absolutely astounds me. you cry from the rooftops about how they're out to get you, but you don't understand the basic biology of what you're complaining about. I know it's easy to wear a tin-foil hat, but do yourself and all of us a favor and gain a bit of knowledge on the subjects you try to deride--it's AMAZING how, with a bit of knowledge, 99% of the concerns you raise go right away because you aren't ignorant anymore.

Which shows that you have no idea what is actually harmful to mainstream food.

"Genetic tampering" is exactly the kind of ignorant buzzword term I'm talking about. You have no idea what it means to even cast a knowledgable vote.

You're one of those big government types wanting to control our freedom!! America love it or leave it and other hillbilly stereotypes.
