Which Lifestyle Do You Choose, and How much are you “Willing to Pay”?

I completely agree that GMO plants should be thoroughly tested before being
commercially grown but if GMO plants do work out than I’ve got nothing
against it.. just look at GMO soybean! it’s an amazingly successful and
efficient plant.

This video is retarded we waste more food because we produce more.
Therefore more crops will end up being lost. Most organic foods aren’t from
local farmers, as a matter of fact a fifth of organic food is from China.
You think organic farmers don’t use pesticides? HAH you delusional idiots.
They use plant extracted pesticides which cause more harm to humans then
synthetic pesticides. Manure causes spread of pathogens and if you don’t
vaccinate cows and give them medicine THEY DIE.

So the human race is supost to just crawl in a hole and die then?

monsatan’s evil they’ve rigged gmo’s like Bt coton etc. to produce lower
yeilds, to fail and to be unable to produce fertile seeds(the suicide
seed). If an Indian farmer could commit suicide by dring these
pesticides…. Chemical fertilizer might contribute to faster soil; erosion
and reduce the beneficial insects and soils beneficial microbacteria’s
ability to interact with the plants roots, lowering the nutrient desity at
least 10-30%. Most if not all current pesticides disrupt this as well.

I agree that industrial practices should be made more efficient and more
clean but sadly at the moment this is the best we can do. poisoned waters
would happen with organic fertilizers as well (Organic fertilizers are
plant scraps and shit!) and corn is not the cause of e.coli in cows (if it
was I wouldn’t be eating corn)

That is great organic fertilizer that might help grow the plants as much as
twice the size naturally,but not faster, there’s only so much energy a
plant has to direct to each area of it’s life cycle, there are so many
organic sustainable practices we could teach and learn from around the
world to third world countries. If the gocernment really wanted to feed a
place like Africa, they’d could build water refineries there to purify
their water. Also refertilizing their land and cultural oprganics

It most certainly can be healthier. And what’s up with there ignoring the
environment? You don’t realize that is a huge danger?
masterpalladin says:

Even if your pro Gmo, to not be held liable, after decades of using us as
guinea pigs, behind our backs, claiming them to be safe and so many health
problems,allergies and decvelopemental disorders occurring in the past few
decades, is just bullshit! Hybrids from cross polination, should be okay,
like we’ve been producing them for centuries, but really monsatan shouldn’t
own the patent on cross pollination’s, that’s just nature . So many Indian
farmers have been extorted and sued over hybrids!
masterpalladin says:

Then get rid of all the current Gmo’s,pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
For all those animals meds and vaccinations cost a fucking fortune!!!!
Feeding corn to cows when they’re meant to eat grass causes disease like
ecoli, not to mention other antibiotic resistant bacteria, also how many
more forests get leveled to produce all the food needed to feed that many
animals. Most if not all industrial practices are killing us, plant life,
wildlife and poisening natural and public water.

poeple have chosen convince and organic food isnt healthier than normal
food, so whats your point?
masterpalladin says:

January 24, 2014 at 8:11 am

the cows are fed GMO corn, their addapted to grass, gmo is even worst,so
plnt craps? you mean decayed plants. at least we’ve had 15,000-20,000 years
to adapt to it and just take the environment,human health, our digestive
health and wildlife into consideration. some Gmo’s produce lower yeilds and
even fail. Like in India, 17,683 farmers commited suicide because of Gmo’s
lowerd yields,fails,because of Monsatan’s suicide seeds forcing poor
farmers become bankrupt.
masterpalladin says:

hybrid beans etc. through natural cross pollination of sub species of the
same species I am neutral on because they could have been produced hundreds
of years ago. If nature does from planting crops near each other and their
sub species that are compatible species I’m neutral. But the Gmo’s produced
in labs, most if not all have proven to be monstrosities. So then what do
you think about Monsatan’s suicide seed? At least a quarter million East
Indian farmers have suicide from them and Gmo’s!!!!

If you want to lose fat quickly, you should google “Shatter Weight Loss”.
You are bound to get the body you deserve.

Definately, if the top soil becomes to polluted/less nutrient rich, we may
not even be able to grow anything in a couple more decades! This is not the
future we should be creating for kids we might have or our golden years!
Not to mention topsoil loss, I love in canada, the government even here
claims they have to farm conventionally/factory farm, we are the 2nd
largest country, only 26 million canadians and the average canadian wastes
$500 in meat each year!

If you have been trying to burn up fat fast, you should look up on google
“Windy Fat Loss”. You are bound to get the body you deserve.

This is a great way to teach kids the wrong thing
Espurr says:

No one should own the patent on cross pollination… completely agreed but
developmental disorders cannot be blamed on GMO they can be blamed on
better medicine and food sources allowing these people to live through
their allergy (gluten free bread and stuff like that) Indian farmers cannot
be sued over hybrids again completely agreed but if a patented GMO plant is
grown then unfortunately they can. I don’t think genes GMO’s and hybrids
should be patented either but unfortunately others don’t.

This is a great way to teach kids (and adults) about what really goes on in
the american food industry. You can cherry pick your information, but it
doesn’t change the fact that through deregulation and propaganda, we have
been destroying our health and our environment for 30 years, all for the
sake of convenience!
masterpalladin says:

Bringing back local farms, might creat more good jobs especially if the
government subsidized it more. Meat packing and meat cutting jobs have
become to dangerous, 40-60 years ago meat cutting and even meat packing
those jobs payed good wages/usually benefits and were some of the best
payed and of the better industrial jobs! Capitalism is one of our bigest
crissis, around 60 years ago the average CEO made 15-20 times the average
worker, now they leech 300 times the average worker!

no the human race could improve efficiency of agriculture by crossbreeding,
using inorganic yet efficient and non-toxic to human pesticides, vaccinate
and medicate livestock to prevent them from catching diseases, and use
efficient and nutrient rich fertilizers that are non-organic and non-toxic
eg not shit.
