Rice, GMOs, and Thanksgiving
There's a significant amount of the people who believe that GMO crops are bad and that there are health risks. I'm not going into that in this video, but I will look at the profound effects of GMOs on world food production, especially rice. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Remember to be thankful for everything you have, because some people don't have those benefits. “The Next Green Revolution” in National Geographic Magazine: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/foodfeatures/green-revolution/ Why We Need GMOs: http://www.msma.org/docs/communications/MoMed/Why_We_Need_GMO_Crops_in_Agriculture.pdf Most Important Crops: http://www.businessinsider.com/10-crops-that-feed-the-world-2011-9?op=1 Golden Rice Video Filed in the Philippines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DAoh1Xe6mI

Are you effing naive or wot? No-one doubts the wonders of science however science will yet have to deal with the emphatic-less psychopaths like the bully-boy-CEOs at Montansanto. Now there would be selective breeding but dragging super-rich cunts into a lab to test for psychopath traits would be legally and militarily impossible.

Hi, good information, but please one question. What about "sterility gene", that one unnamed company uses on it's crops, that farmers must buy new seeds every year. What if after some unlucky event that gene mutates and begins to spread between all crops? I do understand that this theme is not black and white, and I'm not against it in general, but your video is monochrome, only positive. PS: "If you are anti-GMO I strongly suggest you recheck your facts, and if you are still anti-GMO don't stand in the way of people who need them desperately". What you said here is : "You don't know shit, and if you know, than STFU".

So true, we should be thankful for what we have because there are others in the world who don't have a single crumb to eat

This Thanksgiving, let's be thankful that we have food to eat, and that there are people who don't have access to the food you have. Let's also be thankful that there are brilliant scientists in the world who are working on ways to increase food production and make life better for everyone.
