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.
