    There is no proof that GMO food is any less nutritional.

    Is the FDA forcing sugar down people's throats?

    God forbid people be responsible for their own decisions.

    Someone call Captain Government to save us.

    How about the FREEDOM to chose the product you eat?
    I am concerned about ammonia in my food & Pink Slime,
    I prefer not to eat the stuff.
    Am I granted that Freedom or must it be kept secret from me because of a libel suit.

    I also prefer not to eat GMO. Bacteria based nematode poison belongs in bacteria, not my corn.
    Now I call that Freedom. Not science. Just a consumer's choice.

    You can always pay some scientists enough to label it safe. It doesn't mean it is.
    In my time I never believed in cholesterol theory. You make the stuff.
    I believe in carbohydrates messing up your ability to excrete the stuff.
    Old classic physiology. No theory. If interested ask how.
    My Atkins patients dropped their cholesterols and LDL's phenomenally.

    I'm a natural food buyer myself(when I can afford it.) And seriously, organically-grown food should be available to everyone regardless of income level. Rich sobs.(Organic eggs can cost $4-6 dollars for example while 'regular' eggs cost $1-3. That cost prohibitive? Not necessarily but it adds up.)

    Thats because theres so many types of GMO. Some plants are just engineered to have brighter colors, and their nutritional value is probably unchanged.

    The plants that have lower nutritional value are the ones designed that way. Certain 'strains' of GMO corn, soybean, rice, what and other 'bulk staples' are designed to grow in nutritionally deficient soil, so you can get lots of starch, protein and carbs at low cost. Plants get their nutrition from soil, so plants designed to thrive in it are obviously nutritionally deficient. When they do studies to determine the nutritional value of GMO crops, they dont do the studies on these crops because, duh, we already know they're deficient- they're designed that way.
    The original purpose of these types of GMOs was as a means to fight famine in the third world, which they do. But, being that they're cheaper, most of our food is made with them now as well, because money.
    You need more than carbs and protein to live. Theres something like 90 different base mineral compounds that our bodies need in order regulate function, heal damage, fight infection, etc, and thats not to mention the 'medicinal' suppliments that our bodies need to stave off specific ailments. Our bodies are not very good at communication. When you're deficient in something, you might get a general craving for a particular food that is supposed to contain that something... but usually you just get hungry. If yoy eat, but dont get that thing that you're deficient in... you stay hungry. All the protein and carbs in the world wont help you with an iron deficiency or a zinc deficiency or an iodine deficiency... but you can get incredibly fat trying to fix the problem with carb-heavy, trace mineral-lite GMO foods.

    quality of life is very important, slow painful deaths from processed foods is not good at all.

    strokes and heart attacks are sometimes merciful quick deaths, but many like dick cheney did not have the luxury of this kind of euthanasia from unhealthy foods.

    his hard life of many heart attacks made him desensitized to the misery of the weak he had power over, and many others suffered with him.

    What a bizarre point of view.

    I did not say that, read to the end of that sentance, I just said there may be a difference, either better or worse, but a difference just the same

    people have the right to know what they are buying

    New Study Finds GMO Corn Makes Rats Infertile
    Unlike GM corn, non-GMO corn doesn’t cause sterility

    Still think GMOs and their non-GMO counterparts are equivalent? Think again. Unlike GM corn, non-GMO corn doesn’t cause sterility. A new study released by Egyptian scientists found that rats fed a GMO diet suffer from infertility, among other health issues.

    “GM corn or soybeans leads to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice, particularly in livers and kidneys. In addition they found other organs may be affected too, such as heart and spleen, or blood cells. The kidneys of males fared the worst, with 43.5% of all the changes, the liver of females followed with 30.8%”

    Additionally, by day 91, many of the rats fed a GM diet were completely sterile.

    As reported by Sustainable Pulse:

    In the third study, histopathological examination was carried out on the rats fed the GM maize, and the results were compared with rats fed non-GM maize. The study found clear signs of organ pathology in the GM-fed group, especially in the liver, kidney, and small intestine. An examination of the testes revealed necrosis (death) and desquamation (shedding) of the spermatogonial cells that are the foundation of sperm cells and thus male fertility – and all this after only 91 days of feeding.”

    I wonder how much lower the nutritional value of GMO's really is, what it was compared to and does the same portion of each provide enough nutritional value within acceptable human needs.

    I am a natural food grower, but processing food has merit both in terms of availability and safety.

    If you can pay some scientist to label something safe, you can pay the same scientist to label something unsafe. You have choices. There is no need to force one to label their products when the other side already labels theirs as a marketing schtick.

    So, the idea is that Americans have shunned hamburger meat because of "pink slime", but they continue to wolf-down enormous quantities of seafood of all kinds from the Pacific Coast of North America, which is right in "expressway" of the Japanese Current.

    So, what's wrong with the Japanese Current? Only the fact that all the hundreds of tons of highly-radioactive toxic waste from the destroyed Fukushima nuclear reactors continue to disgorge into the Pacific every single day....

    I am not asking a scientist if it is safe.
    I am asking my meat be labeled if it has any sort of meat that in any manner has been chemically treated. Is that too much to ask?
    BTW is this stuff Kosher?

    YOU said that one could always pay a scientist to say something is safe. If they are for sale, it cuts both ways

    I have no idea. Is it labeled Kosher?

    Please type slowly for Moi.

    I said scientist are bought.
    And I believe in labels regardless of who says what is safe.
    How am I playing both ways? Or "cuts both ways"?

    BTW I also believe in choice for some, not all, some vaccinations.
    Require Polio and DPT with no Hib.
    Choice all others.
    Regardless of how safe scientist say they are. :peace:

    What we need are alternatives. The 'pink slime' thing is pretty well known now, and I would imagine theres the equivalent of 'pink-slime free' products you can find if you search. Just buy those.
    Same with GMO.
    GMO labelling never passed, but theres still a vast array of food you can buy labelled 'GMO free' and etc. I generally presume (given the markup of such products) that anything not labelled is GMO.
    Just vote with your dollars and the market will react without any new laws.
