TweetI dont get this. If it grows from the ground, with fertilizer like a regular one grows, how is it bad for you? How does it change the molecule of something that grows from sun , water and soil into something dangerous???
I know some people who are utterly paranoid about GMOs and think that GMOs are the root of all evil. Is it some kind of monsanto conspiracy?
Can someone shed some light here?
Tweetbecause it has been genetically modified people think it is bad. i think by them making genetic changes to plants and stuff to survive in different climates are a good thing. then again we really dont know what the long term ramifications are to doing this. i dont really care, i will pretty much eat anything as long as it works in my diet. not to mention with how crooked the labeling and stuff is here, you really dont know what you are actually getting any way

TweetIt says it is a new practice so little is known. It has been around a while it used to be called hybrid seeds.
TweetI don't have a vast knowledge on it, so I can't say if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm sure we'll start seeing a lot more research coming out over time. Right now, it's just a part of the way things are done. Look at bananas. Most of the bananas we eat are genetically modified.
TweetWell selective breeding is the low tech way of GM, but now it is done with a microscope actually turning on and off genes at the cellular level possibly even adding in genes from other plants and even bacteria and other organisms. Gene editing.
Most everything we eat now has been modified in some way, most have been GM'd by hybridization (Like dog breeds that all came from wolves over thousands of years of selective breeding) But corn is the most notable GM food.
As for it's safety I do not know.
This is a good question and first, I would like to state that not all of the corn seed developed by Monsanto contains an inserted gene as some farmers prefer to plant conventional corn hybrids, and we continue to develop those seeds and make them available. The ability to add specific beneficial genes to corn has enabled the use of additional tools to protect yield. The type of genes that are added to genetically modified corn generally fall under three categories: herbicide tolerance, insect protection and drought stress protection.
Farmers have the choice to purchase corn seeds that contain various combinations of these genes depending upon their individual needs. Choices range from the single gene product CP4 for glyphosate tolerance in Roundup Ready ® products to the products with seven genes: two genes for herbicide tolerance (CP4 for glyphosate and PAT for glufosinate), and multiple insecticidal proteins (Cry1A, Cry2Ab, Cry1F, Cry3Bb1 and Cry34/35Ab1), developed from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, that provide season long control of corn rootworms and caterpillar pests like European corn borers, corn earworm, fall armyworms, as well as other key pests.
Recently, we introduced a gene from another bacterium, Bacillus subtilis, to help the corn plant cells function more effectively when they are under stress enabling the plant to use water more efficiently during periods of drought stress.

Tweetnice write up jipped. i was pretty sure in a nut shell that they were doing mods in order to help crops thrive and survive in less than idea conditions
