The more I read about this Monsanto the more it creeps me out.Did you guys know your dinner is banned in 20 countries worldwide??? Its ok but its still legal in the UK:5eek: When Russia and a host of euro countries ban American shit I usually just think its cos they have "issues" with USA but this is different.Between the bee genocide and stuff like this.It totally creeps me out what this lot are doing. I saw Monsanto food sacks bound for somewhere in Africa and they had fucking "poison" labels on them.They were for feeding herds but they were Monsanto produce Im keeping my eye on this shit.:5magnify:
Don't get me started on Monsanto...you know they are allowed to grow crops harmful to humans here in the states? They wrote it into a spending bill so it didn't raise a stink
Yeah thats what i saw,their produce and it was marked as poison Whats wrong with our Govts man?? As always they will wait till some obscene tragedy occurs before they say "Yeah maybe this aint right". talks bullshit walks as always it seems:sad4:
Grow as many Organic and Heirloom varieties of plants as you can and save seeds from them and share them with as many people as will take and grow them. It's one way we can play a small role in helping to keep non GMO plants in circulation. Look into "Seed Bombs" and help rejuvenate native plant species in your area as well, especially in any known GMO crop fields. asssit:
Breaking News! Europe rejects GMO BREAKING NEWS: Monsanto will halt production of genetically modified corn in all of Europe, except Spain, Portugal and the Czech Republic. The agrichemical multinational states that it will not spend any more money on trials, development, marketing, court cases or anything else to get GM corn accepted in Europe.

Here is my problem with this whole scared of Monsanto stuff: If THEY can bio-engineer it one way, WE can bio-engineer it back. If one of our chemist members says otherwise, I will do more reading. BUT if genetics can be turned one way, they can be turned another, and that does not take a professional lab to do.
Ummm, Monsanto didn't selectively breed GMO crops. They were genetically modified in a laboratory. There is a serious risk of cross contamination of pollen from G MO crops to Non GMO crops and then the Genetically Modified traits are passed on to the next generation and pretty soon GMOs are intermingled with all the genetic population of a given plant. asssit:
I understand that issue. I am saying what keeps us from taking crops and making them back to normal? Labs for genetic modification can be set up in a kitchen now-a-days. What is the real problem here is what I am asking.
Nobody should be tampering with genes IMO. It should never have been allowed to happen in the first place. As for setting up a genetic modification laboratory in your kitchen... Well, I couldn't. Maybe there are enough geneticists out there with the knowledge to do gene splicing that they could setup a lab in their kitchen but I think the general population would have a bit of an issue genetically modifying their own crops. Besides, does two GMOs really make a Non GMO? asssit:
The problem is lack of consumer power Lion,lack of electorate power. These big corps do as they please and fuck with the food chain.
Hell man, I think we should all be drunk as possible and smoking doobies laced with shrooms, but that isn't how society works. That was an exaggeration for the people who have been missing that feature of my banter lately. But yes, if you can do hydro the way you have done, and if Use can do the breeding he has done, and others have grown the way they've done, then more than one of us could offset a genetic nightmare. It isn't hard; it is chemicals and process. That is what we do already. I am saying don't be scared. We have people on our side that can beat the government because THEIR scientists have to depend on THEIR money. WE do not.
AGAIN: Until we are OUT we are no closer to legalizing and forgetting about it being a "drug" than we are with Alcohol in America compared to Europe. You can not shit on the ONLY people helping the cause while hiding behind your eye drops. If 54% in America believe pot should be legal, and half of those people did something about it, we wouldn't be worried about who's post goes where when. Free yourselves. Open up. What can they do to you? They can't kill you.
My point would be .....WHY SHOULD PEOPLE HAVE TO THOUGH If i goto KFC for chicken i want chicken and not some genetically modified bird with no feathers and beaks that they fattened up for sale. Same with my milk,i dont want it from a testosterone overdosed cow. You guys over there always slag of UK diet but we are more concerned about this type of shit in our foodchain than America seems. Put it this way Lion,going by that school of thought your basically saying its ok for big business to do anything they want to the food chain cos as long as we know some people who can reverse it its ok? So if big pharm can make weed glow in the dark weed for tax purposes like monsanto,thats ok as long as we have means and guys with the know how who can make it not glow in the dark?Thats messed up man cos inevitably a point will come where we dont have the resources to reverse it and then people gonna come looking for you with pitchforks like "we fucking listened to you!!"
Nope, not what I am saying at all. The chicken at KFC or Bojangles or McDonald's or Wendy's or whatever is only as good as they process it. That is a whole different issue. Some people don't like how they are raised or processed, but that has nothing to do with seeds. I can set up a genetic lab in my kitchen right now for a few hundred dollars and make plants do shit. This is common knowledge now, despite if you know it or not. There are teens doing this for their SCIENCE PROJECTS. People can create fucking NUKES in their house. This can all be done with little or no training. What I am saying is why should I be worried about someone genetically patenting or changing a plant when I could do the same thing and not worry about it? Could everyone? No. Can everyone be a farmer in the first place? No. What is the problem here? Corporations who try to tame nature always fail and always will, because that is how nature is.
I ain't scurred. I grow only organic and heirloom seeds and there are no GMO farms near me. I also give seeds from my vegetables away to friends. Next year I'm gonna do a bunch of starts and go sell them at the Farmer's Market in the spring.
