'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Heh
Who wants some seeds? The bananas we get in the supermarket are all genetically identical because we have to "clone" them. They were selected to be seedless, but that means that they also can't reproduce.
lieeeeees.......
That's how you grow bananas
Srsly now.
I would consider myself rather careful.
I am not a supporter, nor an opposer. I am simply waiting until we have more conclusive data, until science as a whole finds stronger consent.
GMO is certainly not in the same wheelhouse just yet, like say Climate Change.
"The pen is mightier than the sword.. and considerably easier to write with."
GMOs are just like global warming alarmism. If you look at who is putting out the data and who is making money based on it, you will see a correlation. Everybody pays for data to look the way they want it. It's hard to find honest scientists who are giving unbiased information.
Americans ban European Products, such as French Cheeses or Kinder Surprise and many more. Maybe the US should look at its own hypocrisy before whining about some place else banning its products.
Large scale trade with the US is a bad idea. Look at how they are screwing over Mexican, Canadian Ranchers or the Canadian Softwoods Industry. Do we really want them to have control over our food supplies?
I'm all for GMO crops but the only GMO crop you listed is corn. The rest are cultivars.
There are no GMO oranges available. They are cultivars or hybrids.
There are very few GMO foods publicly available. Corn and soy are the big ones. Hawaiian Papaya, some zucchinis and a few more approved listed here http://www.isaaa.org/gmapprovaldatabase/cropslist/
"The pen is mightier than the sword.. and considerably easier to write with."
While unhelpful (because it is so obviously true) it is at least not potentially harmful like stating "these pants are GMO, GMO is save so they must be save" (which is and obvious fallancy but something people are often happy not to comment on when it is assumed to be true".
In short: Yes, we know GMO can turn out save products, we also know it can turn out unsave products. Thus we must make sure case by case. This is the same as for any other product someone could come up with. There is no reason to make an exception for GMO.
Demonstrating unrelated truths we know already again and again won't suddenly produce some reason for such an exception no matter how much money it would save not to do savety tests. So this was simply an useless repetition of something we knew already.
