CoronitaParticipant[quote=CONCHO][quote=jstoesz]Could someone explain to me how GM food could be bad for us? Are they breeding broccoli with cholesterol now? But seriously…I would rather have a GM plant with less pesticides than an unaltered plant doused in the stuff.[/quote]
Many GMO foods will have more toxic chemicals on them, not less. For example, herbicide-immune varieties of corn and many grains are designed for no-till farming. This means that rather than till the fields to de-weed them, you just dump shitloads of poisonous herbicide to kill all the weeds but the crop keeps on living. After harvest the herbicide-soaked corn is ready to go into your Doritos. Yum. And of course all of the poisonous herbicide has to go somewhere when it rains, and that is into your rivers and streams.[/quote]
That’s exactly what is being done to the GM alfalfa…It’s not that the GM seeds will necessarily contain more pesticides. Seeds/plants are modified so that they can resist higher levels of pesticides…So in the latest cases… It’s about alfalfa… Alfalfa can’t take to much weed killer. So when a lot of weed killer is sprayed, it often kills both the weeds and alfafa. the latest GM alfalfa is more resistant to weed killer so when sprayed, the weed can be killed without killing the alfalfa… yum yum..
