Organic is a scam. GMOs are safe. | Riley J. Dennis
Subscribe for more! http://bit.ly/RileyJayDennis ♥INFO BELOW There's a huge debate over whether GMOs are safe or not, but the evidence overwhelming points to the fact that GMOs are not inherently unsafe. Genetic modification of food, in fact, is very beneficial. Organic food is just an overpriced scam that's built on a foundation of pseudoscience. Oh yeah, and I mispronounced "transgenics". I said "transgenetics" on accident. ♥LINKS & RESOURCES 88% of scientists agree that GMOs are safe: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/01/29/5-key-findings-science/ SciShow says GMOs are safe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH4bi60alZU How GMOs could help Zimbabwe: http://www.wsj.com/articles/we-may-starve-but-at-least-well-be-gmo-free-1457653915 How we bred the nutritition out of corn: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/26/opinion/sunday/breeding-the-nutrition-out-of-our-food.html?pagewanted=all GM potatoes could save lives: http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2012/08/15/158783117/saving-lives-in-africa-with-the-humble-sweet-potato Appeal to Nature logical fallacy: https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/appeal-to-nature Banana Chemicals: http://img.wonderhowto.com/img/95/78/63526091381553/0/food-chemistry-ingredients-organic-all-natural-fruits-eggs-are-not-what-youd-expect.w654.jpg We love GMOs and Vaccines: https://www.facebook.com/welovegv Have questions?

It is difficult to take you seriously about complex matters when you haven't been able to sort out simple things like gender.

subed af fuck me queen but also beware of dihydrogen monoxide

Except it's not "breeding" crops. It's physically changing the genetic makeup of plants using man-made chemicals. The FDA and CDC are corrupt, employees with Monsanto, DuPont, etc. serve on their board. Research from healthier nations such as France show lab rats being decimated by massive cancerous growths after about 8 months, when initial trials with GMO's in the US only ranged from 3-6 months. Sadly, science can be a very biased and opinionated field. A lot of people have very different opinions on topics varying with their field of study, heir the nature of their employment, etc. at the end of the day, we each have to do what we feel works best for our bodies as individuals whether that's not eating meat, dairy, gluten, grains, GMO's or whatever it may be. For me, I believe that consuming things as they naturally occur is the most healthy lifestyle for my family.

The argument that everything is made of chemicals so we shouldn't care about pesticides and herbicides in our food is flawed. Of course everything is made of chemicals, but some chemicals are harmful while others are not. I would much rather breath oxygen then carbon monoxide.

fucking weirdo

do you really want to agree to this?

Stop trying to solicit sex you dirty whore.

This is so much more complicated than that... I am genuinely surprised to hear this over-simplified discourse from you..!
For one, organic food is not only about GMOs but mostly about pesticides. And the massive use of pesticides is related to cancers and a lot of other health problems --not even mentioning that it pollutes the Earth.
Secondly, while I would agree that GMOs in themselves must be safe, I strongly disagree on their intended purpose : as you said it yourself, the transfer of genes is most of the time meant to give the plant a resistance to pesticides. This allows the grower of the plant to spray much more agressive pesticides in much bigger quantities on their whole field. Therefore eating GMOs often means eating a lot more pesticides than you would by eating GMOs-free food.
Thirdly, let's talk about the "it's to feed the Earth" argument. The principle of GMOs is to trademark a set of genes. This means that a company that has put together a certain combination of genes in a plant gets to own this set of genes and therefore can make the farmers to whom they sold seed pay again every year for the same seeds. The corporations that own the GMOs plants are there to make money, and by doing so they weaken the farmers growing the plants. So these corporations are not going to give their GMO-seeds to the countries that need it. GMOs weren't invented to "feed the Earth", and that won't happen anytime soon.
And there are a lot more issues surrounding GMOs. So while I agree that GMOs in themselves are safe, this doesn't make organic food less relevant, nor does it make all the problems around GMOs disapear.
You should watch the documentary Food Inc. by Robert Kenner, I think it shows a nuanced view of the food industry in the US and explores all the problems that are linked to the massive industrialisation of food producing. -
All of this is false. Your analogy doesn't agree either. Were you paid to make this video? I bet you were. Scientists tested GMO on rats and they got stomach problems, fertility problems, and they had trouble growing. They don't really have a good idea of what's its affect on humans is. Science is against it. After you plant a GMO you can't go back to organic plants. This is extremely dangerous. DONT EAT GMO.

<3 that pug noise. haha

GMO's might be safe but the companies producing them are totally fucked up and don't give a shit about people. so i'll pass on that. also less nutritional value. local foods like honey for example, nourish your body unlike mass produced gmo honey which will give you no immunity support or other benefits

almost no one in my family have there vaccinations.

How much do they pay you to promote propaganda?
-
This reminds me of the time my biology teacher last year made this argument and I was like, yes. Spread this everywhere.
And guys, "chemicals" are not bad. WATER IS A CHEMICAL. -
I agree that anti-GMO fear-mongering is hella classist, and a lot of people fear GMOs without doing much research. But those that do their research and still fear GMOs have legitimate concerns: companies benefit greatly from GMOs but aren't super trustworthy. Corporations lie to the public all the time to increase their profits so GMOs could, theoretically, pose a threat that companies have purposefully glossed over in company-funded, biased research.
Personally, I don't think GMOs pose a huge threat (if any) and it seems unlikely that the side effects of GMOs could be worse than the side effects of cosmetics. People's concern doesn't always come from a place of ignorance, and I understand how people might not trust the companies manufacturing GMOs. But we do need to un-demonize GMOs and other cheap food so poor people who can't afford expensive, fresh, organic food won't be so judged for their limitations. -
GMO alarmists fear monger by saying GMOs cause kids to develop ADHD, like anti-vaxxers do with Autism. A lot of the movement is seeped in ableism as well as the classism that you mentioned.

Monsanto = evil

I'm completely with you that genetically modified foods can be awesome and there's certainly no need to avoid them. However, I'm a little confused by how you juxtapose genetically modified and organic foods, when to me that seems like two separate issues. Some foods might not be either (not counting selective breeding as GM). In some instances might the organic version of a food be better? I have tried to buy the organic versions of foods that are listed as the foods for which buying organic makes a bigger difference.
Also, I think ideally genetically modified foods might be labeled but people would be educated enough for into not be a big deal. However, that could be too idealistic. -
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! YOU HAVE ONE VIDEO THWTI USES REAL FACTS!!!!

What have you been smoking? You're totally uninformed about GMOs. The evidence is overwhelming that GMOs are bad. Get the TRUE FACTS at nongmoproject.org. Why do you think most countries of the world have banned them? YOU HAVE NOT DONE YOUR RESEARCH!
