GMO

[nononsensemumof2]

Morrisons, Siansburys, Co-Op and M&S have joined Tesco in allowing GMO fed chickens on their shelves.! This is the tip of the ice burg.!
There is an International protest against GMO on 25th May, I urge you all to organise to join in, if you value choice about what you eat, because if GMO is allowed into our food chain, we will have let the genie out of the bottle, forever.!
Cross contamination and patented law suits will be the order of the day, if we allow Monsanto to get a foot hold on our food supply.
Not only is this vile virus a health hazard to humans, but it is destroying our environment too, re bees, etc.
Plus it is attempting to own Mother Nature via its patented seeds, thereby selling us dangerous produce with a corporate stamp.!
We must all wake up to this onslaught against nature and our right to chose. Please get out in force and demand an end to this profit lead evil against nature now.

I can't remember which government was in power. But can you imagine the effect of millions of Daily Mail readers holding their paper high.

It would have spelt the end of GM in the blink of an eye. But it all fizzled out.

Oh well forget the continued sexism, underlying racism and general tosh if they telling us about GM foods. Fuck me I'm a convert.
Are you in charge of recruitment down at the cult DM claig? Because they seem to have you pretty brainwashed.

And nononsensemumof2 is the new generation and she has been mocked on here. She would not need to protest now had it not all fizzled out over 20 years ago.

If she's indicative of the new generation, good luck with putting forward a reasoned argument.

Some great posts at last. Its Neonicotinoids we should all worry about actually.
Monsanto make great claims but in fact they are operating on VERY thin ice, because the reality is that no one wants or needs them. Globally.
So the more we resist the less they can claim.

"Fuck me I'm a convert."

Throughgritted, welcome to the club, you're not the only one!

How do you know that though? She might be an old woman.

The boat's sailed on neonicotinoids as well. Sorry. Too late again.

Doesn't understand DNA or sarcasm!

Are you allowed out on your own?

Ummm I'm very confused by this thread. Tbh I sort of lost interest after seeing all the DM links.

I'm off to read the thread about biscuit dunking ...

Tee may I just say ....

I think you're a cunt

I asked the OP for some evidence way back ^^, went away to eat some cake dna, only to find I'd missed a bun fight

Thanks to those posters who posted links to actual evidence (and claig, that's peer reviewed evidence, not DM articles!)

I think, as with many issues, it's a complex picture.

OP still fails for her overly emotive language, lack of evidence, and invoking Goodwin's law.

Shall we start a bun fight on neonics now then? ::rolls up sleeves::

The most disturbing Monsanto research I read was 'the Terminator gene'. Sadly nothing to do with Arnie but a gene to make all seeds sterile. This would mean farmers couldnt save seeds to plant the following year but would have to buy seeds year on year from Monsanto. Hardly all about saving the world from hunger. But pretty scary if the gene got into wild plants and other crops. I have no idea if it was ever marketed commercially and this stupid phone makes googling hard.
Given there has been plenty of cross contamination from GM crops into non GM crops anything genetically modified is bound to spread. I'd like to see more testing.
As for the chickens....I eat kosher. Kosher chickens will remain GM free and cost a frigging fortune so we eat one about once a decade! They are also guarnateed horse free

@ FreddieM

She's a class cunt though, you have to admit that!

so, nononsense, neonics?

you do realise the EU just agreed to ban them, right?

Its Neonicotinoids we should all worry about actually

Naw, The Octonauts are far more worrying actually...

Well surely the cost of organic foods will increase rapidly once GM crops become more widespread as it costs a lot to keep the GM crops from cross pollinating with other crops - therefore inflating the cost to produce oragnics and taking the choice of eating non GM crops away from normal folk as it is financially out of their reach - so taking this choice effectively will rapidly remove options of those who wish to remain non GM.

And surely in the face of so much conflicting evidence it is unfair to remove that choice right now? It is hard to reverse if it turns out to be the wrong one.

Also now I'm in the club do I get a badge or a t-shirt or something? Also is there an initiation? You don't need to give the game away, just a heads up.
Like, for example, will I have to congratulate Amanda Holden for being a great mum but then in the next breath criticise her for having cellulite or something?

Carry on getting up to scratch, its about time too.!
Ive been slated for my punctuation but the language used here really beggars belief!
I'm not the enemy, Monsanto is.
You would be far more useful if you vented your anger where its really needed, ie. against Americas Corporations who are trying to gain a foot hold here in Britain. They are the scum of the earth not me, dont shoot the messenger.!

"Like, for example, will I have to congratulate Amanda Holden for being a great mum but then in the next breath criticise her for having cellulite or something?"

There are no rules in the club. We are a community of radical free-thinkers and are not constrained by convention. It's not the Guardian!

"Well surely the cost of organic foods will increase rapidly once GM crops become more widespread"

maddening, you are exactly right. That is what they are hoping for, so that GM becomes the only possible choice for the cash-strapped consumer who is already struggling with rising fuel and water bills and food inflation.

As the Director of GeneWatch said

"This will make a mockery of the claim that GM technology will lead to lower prices. Once a monopoly or a cartel is created, there will be no real competition. We will all be at the mercy of the GM stranglehold."

Didn't someone up thread say that Monsanto's patent was up this year? If so then other companies will be able to use it, so a monopoly is unlikely.

Sorry, no time to be cuntish. Watching Doctor Who.

Sorry that was very vague, I'm on my blummin phone and can't get back to it.

I see there are a few brains at work here, thank God, but rather disappointingly not nearly enough.
I just hope those in operation can focus a little bit longer, before falling over, or giving up to peer pressure completely.
Also hope that this thread is not representative of all those who enter.
Where are you Mums?
