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.

What about the dads?

I'm in my living room, where are you?

Yes. Dads. And grandads. And Grannies.

Why only mums?

What about non-parents? Can they not help?

Oh, I had better leave this thread as I'm not a mum.

my opinion is clearly not worth anything, as I have yet to have kids

Does your keyboard put those exclamation marks in all by itself? Or do you think it makes you sound more intelligent or ... something?

She! Must! Use! Them! Freddie!

So patents last 20 years.

And whatsitsfaces patent is expiring next year.

So they've already been using this stuff for 19 years?

Bit late to worry now...

Now Tee don't be a cunt. You cunt.

Surely you mean "you cunt.!" don't you?

Sorry! !

Tee!

Don't! Be! A! Cunt!

You! Cunt!

!

Feddie.! MTM.! Don't.! Be.! Cunts.!

That's really hard to do...

It does actually require some concentration doesn't it.?

! It! Does!

Oh.! I.! Forgot.! The.! Full.! Stops.!

" ...building a monopoly over feed supplies, as natural feed suppliers are forced out of business..."
This worries me more than a bit of GMO.
That, and sterile seeds etc.

Cunts, OTOH, don't worry me at all .

Anybody watching Eurovision

Totally, PD, come to the Eurovision thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/1759249-Euro-VOICE-ion

nonsensemumof2 - i think your name is pretty apt!

How do sterile seeds spread into other plants - surely being sterile, they cannot cross fertilize and breed a new generation of sterile plants?

"If you test your chickens DNA from Sainsburys, M&S etc in the future you will find that its been contaminated with Monsantos rouge genes"

They're putting in make up genes in chickens?

caroldecker, no they cannot, but they can force farmers to buy new seed from Monsanto and create a dependency. Rather than just keeping some grain back from this year's harvest for next year.

As I understand it, caroldecker, the spread would be via the pollen (ie, pollen from transgenic sterile seed plants pollinating other plants).

There's an article (not an anti-GM one) that explains a bit about terminator genes here.

I want a make up gene. That would be quare handy in the morning.

Oooh, I am a mum, but if I'm honest, the OP has not converted me to the cause. My 6 year old saw that neonicotinoids are going to be banned, OP, did you miss this? Maybe you need to broaden your horizons a bit more.

This thread is hilarious.!

Another study for the scientists

A novel endocrine-disrupting agent in corn with mitogenic activity in human breast and prostatic cancer cells

Have tried to decipher it but it is all Greek to me. Not sure if it is GM or not.

I think this is an earlier study by some of the same people that did the 2 year study on rats.
