Big commercial organic farmer here (>1m lbs. of produce). Every time I see the organic/GMO debate pop up, I feel compelled to jump in, but never do. So here it goes with just a couple of thoughts:
almost all foods are GMO, meaning, they have been cross bred to produce certain traits. Some foods have actually had their DNA changed other ways (not through breeding). Those I tend to call GMO and avoid.
Organic is cool, and uses far less chemicals (but there is still a lot of chemicals being used). However, it cannot sustain the world. Waste is high, yields are lower, and it requires a ton more labor.
My final thoughts on organic? It is better for individuals, but worse for the world. Grow your own organic garden and sustain yourself.
Cross bred is not GMO, it's hybrid. Hybrids occur naturally or can be facilitated by a person through swabbed pollen transfers.
Genetically Modified Organisms are initially done in a lab. They are transgenic. The only way this occurs naturally (very rare) is through Agrobacterium transfers. This method is, however, reliable (to an extent) and is used in the lab to create gmo's.
Particle gun is a common method. A more recently developed method is genome editing (CRISPR).
Goddamn trannies everywhere even in the food
I still wish they'd asked PERMISSION before installing mine.
Organic corn was developed to tolerate glyphosate. When it's sprayed just before harvesting, the corn ripens rapidly, producing a significantly higher yield.
It isn't the genes that are the problem for humans - it's the glyphosate.
I think you have it backwards. GMO was intended to raise glyphosate tolerance. Roundup is synthetic and not allowed in organic farming. Mike Adams has an interview with an organic farm auditor on natural news .com who explains the requirements
Well, they monitor everything if you have smart appliances and if you have a smart thermostat, they can control that from their place. Not very comforting. I refuse to let them install one even if I have to pay more. I don't believe their bullshit lies about how safe they are using the WHO as a source.🙄
Our LG tv has gone out and we've been looking for a new tv that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Looking online I am seeing LOTS that have "Alexa" already programed into them! I don't want a new smart tv with Alexa listening to our every word.
Most people aren't concerned with cross bred plants, many veggies wouldn't be available otherwise (at least in recognized form).
GMO as in modified in a lab, the only reason those got approved was the logic that "a GMO tomato looks like any other one, therefore no special testing is required."
"Most people aren't concerned with cross bred plants"
Fun fact, natural corn is more commonly purple (which is the dominant gene) but people don't like the look of purple corn. The only way you get all yellow corn is through cross-breading the dominant genes away.
I don't think splicing is in the same realm as modifying DNA.
By your logic, splicing some extra fabric into your pants doesn't modify your jeans.
You can get another pocket though.
You are so 100% correct. My sister worked for dept of defense and when she retired started a goat farm. Why? She discovered that no bath and beauty products are regulated. They can lie about ingredients on the label. So, she started making goat milk soap. She wanted to make product she knew with no uncertainty, what was inside.
She wanted to go organic but discovered what a shiatshow that was. In the end, she said, provide best available product and never lie about what it is.
Fyi, arsenic is 100% organic and natural, but would you eat it? No
A lot of pesticides were also organically approved that are not good.
Politics.
Kek_4_Life says it best. Grow your own garden.
I did a similar experiment with seeds about 10 years ago. I put in my garden two rows of green beans--one with GMO seed from Walmart and one with an heirloom organic variety of seed. The two rows were about 3 feet apart in my garden. What did I see? Bugs ate the GMO plants and almost no beans came from them. The bugs left the heirloom plants alone. After that, I theorized that bugs eating plants are very often trying to take out the genetically bad plants. They're like nature's pruners. Just one small experiment by one person, but it changed my views on "pests" after that, for sure.
Nature's pruners, lol. I like that.
Isn't that the opposite of what's happening in this picture? Looks like all of the organic corn got eaten.
I think the difference is bugs vs. animals
This interesting experiment would need more cycles before I'd recommend relying upon it.
If insects ate healthy plants that were good for food and oxygen production, we would not have a world to live in.
They are engineered to destroy trash plants. And if you need to use exotic poisons to prevent insects from eating your crops, NOBODY should be eating your crops besides the insects. God carefully engineered our world and omitted nothing to take care of us. All we have to do is "trust the plan". God's Plan.
What did you expect? Try it without the label and see what happens.
Lol🐸👌❤
You mean the clearly photoshopped label stuck on a picture from a 20 year old magazine advertisement ...
I kind of did the same thing unintentionally. We had horrible sugar ants all spring, kept having to find new ways to hide all the sugar. Once it was all locked up, I noticed they were continually after the toothpaste??? Why are sugar ants eating my toothpaste meant to clean sugar and food off of my teeth? So I switched all out toothpastes to fluoride free, xylitol toothpastes. No more ants… I also noticed they never went after our diet sodas and I thought well, if diet soda is garbage to ants maybe it should be garbage to me too. So cut out the diet sodas… am I better off now. Who knows. Just a day in the life of my personal observations of nature
We are drowning in lies and misinformation. I wish we lived in a world where we didn’t have to try to discern the most basic truths. Instead, we have to question literally everything we have been taught, and at most, have a good idea where the truth lies.
I am a huge fan of anyone who ditches what we call soft drinks ( sodas ) and especially the diet versions. I am pretty sure they were using babies cells to make the artificial sweetener. The toothpaste switch is another winner and mains or town water is best to avoid drinking too. They poison us from birth with jabs and we have all suffered from their life shortening chem trails and ‘medicines’ and just general household cleaners. It’s time we were all awake to this. Just one more thing is the diet they want us to eat is practically poisonous and acid forming.
Did the squirrel on the left die midway through the cob?
Died suddenly... doctors baffled...
Kek!
It's like people don't understand what GMO actually is and what "Organic" means in farming. Organic means you hide the chemicals and non-organics during inspections for many "organic" farmers. GMO is not what people think nor is it generally a bad thing at all. Take for example a genetic modification made to a plant that does nothing but help it not be affected by a chemical that in turn fights off a particular pest, parasite, or bacteria. You then have a fertilizer or treatment that contains this chemical you know is now harmless to your crop but really helps in cutting down a particularly harmful pest. I find general lack of understanding of GMO in those that blanket oppose GMO altogether.
NCSWIC!!!
I totally get that much organic labeling is false, but my understanding of one of the major GMO crops, "round-up ready" corn, is that it is genetically altered to not be damaged by round-up. This is so they can carpet the whole field with round-up and only have the weeds die. Problem is all that glyphosate is left in and on the corn which people and animals then ingest. I don't understand why you wouldn't find this totally unacceptable.
Yes. More than round up though. Many many others.
This is an exampled of being brainwashed.
Gosh how did we ever survive without synthetic chemicals?
Does nothing else that you're aware of.
I have seen this with cattle, hogs, goats, horses, and deer. When given a choice, they ALWAYS leave gmo to become bacteria food. Bt trait in corn is culprit near as I can tell.
it may even be something olfactory on a level we can't detect. like the animals can smell or taste it.
I would agree. In addition, sweet corn was left alone until about 4 or 5 years ago. I tried sweet corn with RR and Bt traits, grown by someone else, and I'll never eat it again. It made me sick. Guts just in shambles. Even tried twice more just to see if it was a fluke. It was not.
"Organic" is a pretty loose term in this context. Organic can be "GMO". Also, do the experiment 15 times for some actual data.
The GMO corn is probably optimized to be more favorable to humans and less favorable to vermin. Kinda the whole point.
Birth control at the least and poisonous to the many.
GMO or not doesn't fucking matter. We've been selective growing for hundreds of years. What matters is all the fucking chemicals and pesticides they spray on these crops
Genetic modification and genetic selection are not the same.
Actually it is considered genetic modification still lol. They began cross-breeding in the late 1800's. Now it's far more advanced allowing them to extract specific genes obviously, but still really not that different logically.
Let me put it this way. Non-GMO crops require more pesticides, more chemicals to keep them healthy, and more resources overall. Actually many GMO plants don't even require pesticides at all.
So pick your poison? Would you rather have a genetically modified plant that is naturally resistant to the elements, or a plant sprayed by harsh chemicals?
I hear Russia is one of the only places left with real corn
it's not the GMO nature of the food that the animal sees.They can smell it's less enticing than the real one.It's the same with seedless raisin: they're big, juicy and sweet at the superstore, but they have not 'raisin' taste. And when you eat real raisin from the countryside, it's like you rediscover a whole universe of flavors.
We need to start listening to nature again.
We have divorced ourselves from the very entity that governs this planet.
We have polluted and mistreated nature.
The squirrels know better because they are nature and nature does not take shit.
idk about some of these comments
gmo is sometimes really harmful to health: "Shock findings in new GMO study: Rats fed lifetime of GM corn grow horrifying tumors, 70% of females die early" https://www.naturalnews.com/037249_GMO_study_cancer_tumors_organ_damage.html
I guess in itself you could argue the tech is neutral, maybe. But you'd have to independently verify the gmo is not harmful. I don't have a lab or know anyone I trust who can do that. Ergo it would be considered uncertain at best. "organic" food has an anecdotal track record of however many centuries as being acceptable, while we wouldn't know the effects of GMOs possibly until it is too late.
seems like the GMOs are likely to be bred with a focus on being able to make more food, without any regard for how other things are affected. They will therefore likely compromise nutrition in pursuit of this goal. Even more nefarious would be food made that actively makes people sick, so that people could be fed cheap bad food while elites dine on "organic" food.
The other issue was they were trying to make "unowned organic" food in to "intellectual property" of patented GMOs so they could say who is allowed to own the seeds to grow foods. This is another important angle to keep in mind as to why GMO is sometimes pushed.
also organic can feed the world. it is more labor intensive tho. https://rodaleinstitute.org/blog/can-organic-feed-the-world/
Plants are trying to kill us. Filter them through meat first.
I've got an interesting experience to add to this. About a decade ago, my father and I were going to the ranch to pick up some firewood for BBQ'ing. Before heading out of town we stopped at the local convenience store to get some fountain drinks. My father got a Diet Coke and I got a regular Coke.
When we got to the ranch we placed our drinks next to each other on the ground up against a tree. About and hour later, my drink had ants all over the lid and some managed to get inside the lid by the straw. My fathers Diet Coke didn't have a single ant on it.
Animals know. We're the stupid ones.
