No, Its YOU who knows not..

The pollen from Monsantos corn is flying in the wind. The farmers next to them have their crops contaminated and several of them have lawsuits against Monsato. I hope they screw Monsanto into the ground but that aint gonna happen.. I knew when I voted for Obama the first time I screwed up royally. One of the first things he did was put a big wheel from Monsanto on his board of directors or whatever they call it. That company is responsible for hundreds of deaths and practically wiped out a whole town. Its just another plan in the big scheme of things. It would look a lot better if they poisoned us than mowed us down in the streets.

Sooo,, because it hasnt happened, it cant, right? Ill bet the starving Irish were shocked when it happened.

Hell, anything can happen, but let's be reasonable.

Two problems I have with the anti-GMO buffs.

1) we've had GMO for years if not decades.
2) the same people buying into the 9/11 nonsense are the same people buying into this GMO crap too. (as well as a dozen other conspiracies) You guys are hard-wired into believing almost anything as long as (as far as I can see) two criteria are met. 1) Rich guys benefit 2) it requires impossible cooperation from a large number of individuals and groups.

I'm not for or against GMOs, because I've never heard a solid argument against them however based on their idea I am leaning toward being for them. Other than being genetically modified, what makes them bad?

unfortunately.. I must buy from them ( for now) but you can be sure that I would never INVEST in them.

I am very upset about how the courts have decided that GMO cross-pollenated seeds then become property of the designer. It seems to me I should be able to plant what I want.. and if my seed stock is "infected" by GMO then I should be able to sue.
Fine don't let me keep and replant... but the GMO maker now OWES me free (non-GMO) seed plus free (non-GMO) produce.

GE engineering for insect resistant (IR) crops

Sections of the DNA from the bacteria known as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are isolated and inserted into the plant cells by a process known as genetic transformation. The entire plant is then regenerated from the transgenic plant cells. There are thousands of different Bt strains that produce proteins toxic to insect pests. Particular strains are chosen to target specific plant pests. The resulting plant contains the Bt toxin in its cells. When the plant is eaten by the target insect the toxin binds to receptors in the insect’s gut, causing the gut wall to break down and allowing toxins and normal gut bacteria to enter the body. As the toxins and bacteria proliferate in the body, the insect dies.

Could it be coincidence that this is the exact description of “Leaky Gut syndrome”?

Leaky Gut syndrome

According to Dr. Andrew Weil, “Leaky gut syndrome is not generally recognized by conventional physicians, but evidence is accumulating that it is a real condition that affects the lining of the intestines. The theory is that leaky gut syndrome (also called increased intestinal permeability), is the result of damage to the intestinal lining, making it less able to protect the internal environment as well as to filter needed nutrients and other biological substances. As a consequence, some bacteria and their toxins, incompletely digested proteins and fats, and waste not normally absorbed may “leak” out of the intestines into the blood stream. This triggers an autoimmune reaction, which can lead to gastrointestinal problems such as abdominal bloating, excessive gas and cramps, fatigue, food sensitivities, joint pain, skin rashes, and autoimmunity.”

Can Leaky Gut be caused by the Bt crops?

According to the producers of the Bt insecticide crops, the portion of the Bt DNA that is used does not survive the digestive process in humans. This may be true for the bare DNA strands, but the Bt proteins do survive. Aris et al. found these Bt toxins in the blood of pregnant women and their fetuses which they reported in the journal of Reproductive Toxicology (2011). Even so, say the manufacturers, there is no cause to worry because the toxins are selective and only bind to receptors in the insect gut. Humans don’t have these receptors.
