Hi guys. I'm new here, and as an ice breaker, I would like to know on where you guys stand when it comes to GMOs, may it be in terms of food, textile or other industries it is used, if you are alright with it or not, and if not, why. Have a pleasant day guys!

better stop taking Vitamins and many other things,since they all come from genetically modified E.coli,and other modified Bacteria!! And it is called Bio-Technology,and Monsanto ain't the only one in that Field! So,inform yourself before you all bust a Gut,or shatter that proverbial Cannibblin'-Pin! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotechnology

My stand ? Monsanto = Pure Evil http://jdennehy.com/monsanto-a-beginners-guide-to-the-worlds-most-dangerous-corporation-m24/ I am actually inclined to agree with you on this. Although the degree of evil could be argued, GMO's just aren't a good idea IMO.

GMO's are alright. Never heard of anyone dying form them yet. Did you know that Jello is made from pig fat?

Here. This will explain it all quickly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KTB3t1t7dk If, for whatever reason, you don't understand, here is a further explanation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryAO8Zmv4ag

I am very much concerned about the fact that they can actually patent seeds and organisms. Their ultimate goal is to monopolise them all. So there can only be use of their patented seeds. http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_27105.cfm "Monsanto's Roundup is actually threatening the crop-yielding potential of the entire biosphere. The report reveals that glyphosate, which was developed by Monsanto in the early 1970s and is the active ingredient in its patented herbicide Roundup, may be irreversibly devastating the microbiodiversity of the soil - compromising the health of the entire planet, as a result." quote from NaturalNews. And they also desperately want to own the vaccine of Ebola. Monsanto are the inventors of Agent orange and DDT.

Monsanto is the closest thing to pure evil that exists on this planet.

Maybe it's not such a good idea....

Have a pleasant day guys! Welcome, and as to GMO's, death from the lab. Not nice messing with nature, has a tendency to create some very undesirable after effects, maybe that is why they are not allowed in the cafeteria at Monsanto. I have seen some articles about the effect of some of the DNA manipulations that are crossing within the human body to cause some serious damage. The total extent of the damage will not be known for decades but by then it will be too late. Of course the wise choice would be to avoid them but that is the rub, can't do that because of the lawyers. Every state that has tried to ban them has been deluded with tons of Monsanto's legal staff and well financed as campaigns. And then of course there are the idiots amongst the electorate that just haven't a clue.

GMO's are alright. Never heard of anyone dying form them yet. Did you know that Jello is made from pig fat? Actually not, Gelatin is a mixture of peptides and proteins produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, pigs, and fish. During hydrolysis, the natural molecular bonds between individual collagen strands are broken down into a form that rearranges more easily. Its chemical composition is, in many respects, closely similar to that of its parent collagen.[1] Photographic and pharmaceutical grades of gelatin are generally sourced from beef bones. May throw in a few hoofs and a little skin but no fat. And as for GMO's, definitely not alright and you will hear of those dying from them in the future.

1) Having companies like monsanto patenting genes they discover is just awful. This, along with many other monsanto practices, is harmful to humanity. 2) Foods that are made by mix and matching DNA from various sources: Definitely something to raise an eyebrow at, and be cautious of, but generally not dangerous. There are lots of blatant anti-gmo scaremongering lies being told by my anti-monsanto friends.
