An eminent team of doctors have shown that the mRNA protein that alters wheat to produce it's own pesticides continues to work even after the wheat has been cooked.

They fed the wheat to humaniform mice and found that the mRNA altered the organs of the mice so that they too started to produce pesticides to toxic levels that killed the mice.

This is a matter of science - not conspiracy.

Why must you use the word "conspiracy" before analyst? You're automatically discrediting them by your wording.

It is funny that you used bees as the avatar. 'Hive mentality'.

why do you say conspiracy???

who are you insulting and why???

as for the harm...
not enough data yet-

genetics is a very delicate song-
not hard to create dissonance...
when mucking about ...
with the composition-

but...
do pig genes belong in tomatoes???
instinct says ...NO!!!
i trust mine-
science will bear me out eventually-

I don't believe they are bad for you but they are dangerous around other crops and many countries want nothing to do with them, and organically grown crops have more flavor .

That is why I started the line of questions; So that people can start seeing the truth from others and not the propaganda that is thrown at them. It takes time, but it can be done. America is dying and the people in it too. The food, the water is poisoned, and even if you show them, they still will not fully understand. Why ? because it is so evil. They cannot image that someone or some group would do such an evil deed(s). Try to reach other people so that we can resist in force, but prepare to save yourself. I already knew the answer.

This is one of the most worthwhile questions I have seen lately.Too many people have too much faith in government and as a result of giving them all their power,they are ending up hungry, malnourished and fat.And we all know,or so we should,that as the US goes, so goes the world.

Better living through chemisteryLOL.

It's more like, worthless answers. I asked the question to change the view on conspiracy. Notice the wording, conspiracy analyst, not theorists. It will start a new term, and subconscious attitude toward them in the future. They mean well and do great research that gets brushed off with those two words. Nevertheless, I agree with you. I take lots and lots of supplements. I know my food is worthless. I have friend who come visit from EU and they will never live here, they say. They know the food will kill them. In France, they have vending machines that dispense raw milk. In America it is illegal to sell raw milk. In France they got rid of the Monsanto pesticide that was causing bee colony collapse.

"But haven't growers been grafting trees, breeding animals, and hybridizing seeds for years?
Genetic engineering is completely different from traditional breeding and carries unique risks. In traditional breeding it is possible to mate a pig with another pig to get a new variety, but is not possible to mate a pig with a potato or a mouse. Even when species that may seem to be closely related do succeed in breeding, the offspring are usually infertile—a horse, for example, can mate with a donkey, but the offspring (a mule) is sterile.

With genetic engineering, scientists can breach species barriers set up by nature. For example, they have spliced fish genes into tomatoes. The results are plants (or animals) with traits that would be virtually impossible to obtain with natural processes, such as crossbreeding or grafting."

Because they can grow more and grow it faster and that is far more important to them than nutrition .Also if you can control the worlds food supply ,as in giveth and taketh away,That makes you the most important kid on the block.You rule the world.

Everything is harmful to your health - if you were wondering 100% of the people you know are going to die. We are all dying - so eat what you want and stop worrying about people are saying. It's not what goes into a man that makes him impure but what comes out of his mouth.

Your diet most certainly affects longevity. If you want to live longer, you should probably take note of at least some of the cavernous pits of awful food that our particular (US) society has surrounded us with.

Do not really care.

I eat non GMO foods when I find them because they generally taste better. They may not look as pretty, and may not last as long on the shelf, but... do not care about those things.

Personal taste + finances, IMO.

Some of them are, some of them aren't. The problem is that most people don't understand what constitutes a 'genetically modified organism.' Corn is a GMO. Not because it's been nuked or tinkered with by some mad scientist in a giant corporate lab, but because it was cultivated from grass by native Americans.

In fact, almost EVERY crop has been 'genetically modified' to one degree or other by human beings going back tens of thousands of years! What we call 'genetic modification' used to be called 'cultivation.' Agri-CULTURE itself is the science of MODIFYING existing plant life to be used for/as foodstuffs.

Agreed. One is just an outdated, much slower process of doing nearly the same thing.

Problem arises when the paramount "desired qualities" become look and shelf life. We know rather well that tinkering in one place can, and does, affect others. In food, it is often taste. Currently, it tends to be a zero sum game.

Indeed. All of what I said being as it may, there are some forms of modification which are clearly--or clearly to me--dangerous. If the modification 'transmits' itself into other genomes, it's clearly dangerous.

Elaborate. How is altering an original plant or animal genome such that its DNA is different than the parent organism NOT genetic modification?

I'm here to learn. :-)

Adding the genes of two plants or animals does not create a third gene.A genetically modified creature is one that has a different or third gene injected into it. In other words splicing a pear with an apple is not at all like injecting a cold water fish gene into tomatoes.

I understand and agree that this distinction is useful for geneticists, biologists and botanists, but for the layman I think it's a bit of hair splitting. I mean, unless the cognoscenti are willing to school every contributor to the debate, I think it's fairly safe to assume that altering the parent DNA of flora or fauna in any way constitutes 'modification.' :-)

But true, that in itself only serves to muddy the issue, so I'm in a state of flux on this one. We either need a better-educated citizenry or less tinkering with nature. Given those two potentials, which do you consider is the more likely/expedient? :-)
