Tasty thread, needs moar Hetzer.
I've heard all sorts of horror stories about GM from hairy tongues to birth defects, not sure how much of it is true though
If you can grow a giant fruit with as much nutrition for less price i'm down for that, I mean we're already making GM babies where you can choose the gender and eye colour
But, I hear monsanto sell their seeds to poor countries for cheap, but then they force them to buy the pesticides and shit to keep them alive so we're getting weird chemicals in them
Don't know enough about it, would like to

This is not evidence of Monsanto's evil. Even the DM can't hide what a terrible unscientific study this has been. The authors released it without allowing external review, there are questions about the control group and no comments on the statistical significance of the results.
In short, the DM has written another inflammatory headline in the hope of selling more papers to middle England.
Look at their track record on the vaccination scandal (and look at the Irish DM - same owners - who were campaigning for more vaccinations at the same time and tell me that it's not about selling papers rather than informing the public).
Others have already mentioned the terminator genes that should really be the target of public ire, not some half baked study with serious procedural concerns. ____________________ current: ducati monster 750

Oh, pfft, rats get tumours if you expose them to daytime soaps or harsh language.
You know what kills you quicker than pesticide-dripping GM food? No food.
There's no call for us in the civilised world to be eating GM, we can afford the waste of 100% natural crops that have been 100% naturally grown using 100% natural dead-dinosaur fertilisers, pesticides and cross breeding.
But I pity any brain that can think "GM bad" and "Must save the starving masses in Outer Elbonia" without recognising the dichotomy. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Alpha, you really need to educate yourself on this one mate - GM crops and picking a boy/girl embryo are two completely different things They don't 'genetically modify' a kid to be a boy/girl.
"...concerns include the potential for organisms insects and viruses to evolve and become more powerful and overcome the resistant GM animals and plants. Some scientists also are concerned that GM ingredients may cause toxic poisoning, allergic reactions, antibiotic resistance, and even cancer in humans. Research hasn’t proven all the concerns, but there’s enough evidence to warrant caution."
So your massive GM fruit wipes out all the original none-GM fruit of it's variety on the planet, then gets taken over by some virus and is wiped out itself. Bye bye banana Just one reason I am very glad that somewhere in the deepest darkest iciest parts of the world, there is a massive seed store. At least with that we have a chance of sorting out what GM crops will inevitably fuck up. ____________________ What would you do in life, if you knew you could not fail?

We should do what Hungary recently did.
This is from July 22, 2011, International Business Times:
Hungary Destroys All Monsanto GMO Maize Fields
In an effort to rid the country of Monsanto's GMO products, Hungary has stepped up the pace. This looks like its going to be another slap in the face for Monsanto. A new regulation was introduced this March which stipulates that seeds are supposed to be checked for GMO before they are introduced to the market. Unfortunately, some GMO seeds made it to the farmers without them knowing it.
Almost 1000 acres of maize found to have been grown with genetically modified seeds have been destroyed throughout Hungary deputy state secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognar said. The GMO maize has been ploughed under, said Lajos Bognar, but pollen has not spread from the maize, he added.
Unlike several EU members, GMO seeds are banned in Hungary. The checks will continue despite the fact that seed traders are obliged to make sure that their products are GMO free, Bognar said. During their investigation, controllers have found Pioneer and Monsanto products among the seeds planted.

Do love me some cow juice
They should GM mass produce crops to make energy, dem algae farms, and you can do it with maize too
