This is true. Also the healthy foods are less so because Big Ag has stripped the soil and keeps messing with the genetics. Gluten in our wheat is unnaturally high. Monsanto is splicing pig DNA in tomatoes. It’s nuts.
Lol Monsanto did not splice pig DNA into a tomato. They tried it with flounder DNA years ago to winterize plants but they dropped the project.
The amount of GMO misinformation is just retarded. We have been fucking with plant genes for thousands of years and when we can finally do it at a genetic level all the sudden it's bad because someone watched a lefty documentary.
And of course, they upvote that looney toon shit here as if it's gospel.
I remember when the anti Monsanto shit really ramped up, it was this documentary filled with bullshit called King Corn 2008ish.
Ignore the fact they have saved an estimated billion from starvation with their wheat alone, introduced bt strains, created safe pestidices, increased yields dramatically, made strains to grow in the driest of africa, but hey, that guy on youtube showed me these pig tomatoes and they're evil!
It’s not the fact that it’s gmo, it’s that the gmo allows it to be more thoroughly tainted e.g. with glyphosate.
Exactly this. They genetically modify it so it doesn't die when they use their poisonous pesticides on it.
When we aren't doing it, the plants themselves are. They are perfect evolution farms.
I mixed it up with non Monsanto experiments with pig genes and oranges.
It was Monsanto acquired Calgene that utilized the antifreeze genes of a fish with the tomato. It was yanked from the market after being a failure but the technology kept being utilized and the process and studies done less transparent. The Calgene days were a simpler time and you can still comb through the FDA memos and see those gavage studies on rats and all the lesions in their stomachs. Makes you wonder why the hell it was ever approved.
There’s a difference between cross breeding and tinkering with genes. The former can be a problem when overdone (see jacked up gluten in wheat) but the latter is even more hazardous at the genetic level. Ask the father of molecular biology.
I’m not anti-science I’ve studied it for years but we also should exercise some common sense and discernment. We’ve been studying viruses for years but ´gain of function research’ was banned in this country for a reason. Nevertheless, our brilliant scientific minds continued to fund it in places like Wuhan and we saw how that went.
I prefer a precautionary principle. It’s one of the things the European Union got right. Non-GMO food tastes and smells better, is sustainable and self sufficient, and less taxing on body particularly the gastrointestinal system.
I also don’t trust a mega agrochemical company with undue influence in big government that has shown to commit great harm with little to no consequences. When you know how the FDA works or doesn’t work, you’d be more cynical of what’s in the American soil and food supply.
My skepticism of GMO does not come from lefty documentaries but way back to oil eating bacteria that failed spectacularly on a clean up job.
I did not know that - Johnny Carson
I do know that spinach had 17x more nutrients in the 50's.
Supposedly the new style of farming that avoids plowing starts restoring soil in a couple years and brings it back to health after maybe 5 years. I don't know if this is true. It may be another trick? It's sort of along the lines of "organic" though.
Organic tomatoes that taste like bacon?
Also heavy metals can leech into soil overtime and end up on what you consume. I drink kratom which comes from indonesia and i know theres a lot of heavy metals in the soil over there. Wonder if mosanto and their pig splicing know anything about corona's splicing. Both are living organisms not that far apart.
