MonsantoVideoRevolt

Because I know your intentions. It is also shown in your reposts of the original youtube video. How many times does one video need reposted in one thread. Does that make it more legit?
I was wrong to label it as a conspiracy. Your post was fear mongering.

 

I clicked the link. Lots of opinion. Where are the lab tests that show these chemicals remain in the plants after washing? You should be able to test a portion of the inside flesh and tell quickly if the chemical remains.
I am an amateur gardener, but even I know it is not common practice to spray weed killers when there is fruit growing. That would even limit absorption rates, if they even exist.
Personally, I never worried about weeds, as I started my seeds indoors. I did use Spinosad based insecticides, but even those are natural chemical compounds that shouldn't be directly consumed or used on fruit.

 

Speculation without data. I try to stay away from this. I also mostly eat veggies at home, which are washed with organic soap.

 

Outside of the GMO debate, I definitely do not like one company in control of the food supply. Monsanto has way too much control over the future of our food if you ask me.

 

Unless you guys want to go sustenance farm and hunt somewhere remote that has year-round waves (my ideal existence) then you may as well do your best with available diet, keep exercising, get regular sleep, and stay away from booze and smoking. Something's going to kill you. The Jack Daniels or Bud heavies you put in your veins a few times a week will kill you a lot faster than any of these GMOs. Do I agree with them doing this? Not at all, coming from a Physio/Bioenergetics background. Are we all usually doing something that's not conducive to our longevity? For the most part. Choose the lesser evil.

 

Einstein said that 5 years after the bee are gone, then so will we be. You'd think that guy knew what he was talking about and that his words would be heeded. So if there is a possibility that there's a substance that causing hive collapse, it should be banned.

“Once the corn started to get planted our bees died by the millions,” Schuit said. He and many others, including the European Union, are pointing the finger at a class of insecticides known as neonicotinoids, manufactured by Bayer CropScience Inc. used in planting corn and some other crops. The European Union just recently voted to ban these insecticides for two years, beginning December 1, 2013, to be able to study how it relates to the large bee kill they are experiencing there also.

 

Interesting study. It just doesn't show data that proves humans receive similar doses of the chemicals from eating normal GM food. I have no doubt that too much of this can be harmful. We need to push for human trials using levels representative of normal consumption as food. That is what we need to tell the government.

 

neonicotinoids are bad stuff for bees. They aren't GMO, but should not be used.

 

My balls are in your face brah! Sorry about the teabag...it was a wild night and you were passed out and the crowd wanted a laugh.

It's not like I discredit this stuff at all or condone it. I just have so many hours in the day (24 to be exact, since I don't sleep) and got enough on my plate. No apathy, there's just poisons all around us.

You want poisons in food? There's soy in everything these days. Go dine on soy in quantity for a few months and when you come back, we can cry watch The Notebook on replay because all the phytoestrogens will have shut down your HPTA and your testosterone will be nil.

Sustenance farming. That's the answer.

 

Subsistence farming is the official term I believe...not being a prick just figured you'd want to know.

 

Big ups to you brah. Appreciate it and always love learning. Sustenance farming is still correct usage but subsistence farming is the more popular and official term like you said.

So what do you say we get a couple hoes, plant some seeds, and get ready for the big party in October/November?
