The Health Dangers of Genetically Modified Foods

Back


This is a lecture by Jeffrey Smith, in which he summarizes the contents of this book. It's not only informative, but amusing, because he casts a joke here and there.

I totally agree with you!
I may not be an expert on GMOs, but I'm still completely against the idea of manipulating genes that were formed perfectly by the billions of years of evolution. All GMOs are good for is profit. People are messing around with science a bit too much, regardless if it's beneficial or not, maybe we're altering evolution, who knows.

Do you know anything about the company called Monsanto?

I know that they sell genetically modified (read: improved) seeds/crops.

They sell genetically modified STERILE seeds to farmers to make sure that they have no choice but to keep buying their seed. If they find seed stock on the growers property, that farmer can be sued.

They let PCBs pollute Anniston, Alabama. They knew for decades that this was a toxic chemical and were instructed to destroy incriminating documents after they were read. They didnt want to lose one dollar of business. Men, women and children died.

They are also responsible for Agent Orange.

From what I have learned so far, I would say they are murderers. They will sell you anything that will make a profit. Therefore I would be a fool to trust them when they say GM foods are superior to natural food.

What they want is a monopoly on the world's food supply. That is scary and dangerous.

I would never support such a company or their research.

Well if that's the case then the science behind genetically modified food is wrongfully used by Monsanto, but that doesn't mean genetically modified crops are bad. GM food do give us the possibility to put an end to world hunger and the use of pesticides, while having better nutritional value. As long as it is in the hands of the right people. Just like you can use a knife to prepare food or to stab someone to death with it.

If they really cared about curing world hunger they wouldn't create sterile or "terminator" seeds, rendering plants unable to produce seeds, like they do in nature.

I'm will not pretend to hold the truth about GM food. I don't know if it is good or bad for the human body. It is bad, however, for humanity.

My point is I am not going to support exploitative and imperialistic companies like Monsanto or Dupont that want a monopoly on the world's food supply. That's why I'm against GMOs.

Correction for my last post. I meant to say "I will not pretend to hold the truth..." not "I'm"

Also, it's not that there isn't enough food for all the people on earth to survive and that's why there is world hunger. There IS enough food in the world today for every man, woman and child. It's the poverty and lack of access to food that are to blame for world hunger and malnutrition.

great videos, does anybody know what year this presentation took place?

GM crops cannot germinate!
They tell us GM foods will cure world hunger, but what these profit seeking psychos completely disregard is that GM material can be transfered from these plants to non-GM plants, thus altering their genes so they cannot germinate. If this material gets to every crop worldwide, they will ALL stop germinating creating a pandemic of starvation! People have got to start thinking!
Genetic engineering is one of the most biggest, man-made cataclysms EVER! Wake up world!
