#Genetically Engineered Foods

[jbfly46]

How the government fucks poor people and permanently alters their metabolism to turn them into mindless worker drones:

• Free school lunches - Sysco poison

• Food pantries - Sysco poison

• Government healthcare - Bayer/Monsanto/Dow organ farming & Pfizer poison drugs

• Prison food - Sysco poison

• Military mess hall food - More Sysco poison

These are all giant corporations that were started by ex-military using their career contacts to contract with the military to purchase their waste, repackage it as food & drugs, then sell it to the general public.

Video: Inside the Effort to Change How Seeds Grow

Much of the food we eat is grown with synthetic fertilizer, which is a huge source of climate change. But now, a seed with DNA-modified bacteria is reducing the amount of synthetic fertilizer that farmers have to apply to their fields. Eric Lipton, an investigative reporter for The New York Times, explains. Source link

I would love if this debate were a little bit funnier, but unfortunately a lady came into the vet's office today with a mostly empty bag of dog food, asking me to have the doctor check it for "all that woke stuff they're putting in there these days," and I know people are listening to and believing him and I need to scream very much.

Genetically Modified Seeds: The Controversial Agricultural Revolution

Genetically modified (GM) crops are plants used in agriculture whose DNA has been modified using genetic engineering methods. The most common traits introduced to GM crops are herbicide tolerance and insect resistance. Herbicide Tolerance in Genetically Modified Seeds One of the earliest applications of genetic engineering in agriculture was to make crops tolerant to herbicides, so that weeds could be eliminated with herbicide spraying without killing the crops. Two main herbicide tolerance traits that have been introduced through genetic engineering are glyphosate tolerance and glufosinate tolerance. Glyphosate, marketed by Monsanto under the trade name Roundup, is a broad-spectrum herbicide that kills weeds but not crops engineered to be tolerant. Glufosinate is another broad-spectrum herbicide to which some crops have been engineered to be tolerant. These modifications allow farmers to spray herbicide over the top of entire fields and only kill the weeds, not the crops. Insect Resistance through Bt Technology Many GM crops are genetically engineered to produce one or more insecticidal proteins from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Known as Bt crops, they are insects resistant. Corn and cotton are the main crops engineered with Bt technology to be resistant to certain Lepidopteran or Coleopteran insect pests. The Bt proteins expressed in these GM crops only affect insect species within these orders and have no reported effects on other organisms including humans. Bt crops allow farmers to reduce or eliminate insecticide applications for key pests. Potential Benefits of GM Crops Besides reducing herbicide and insecticide use, Genetically Modified Seeds are promoted as having benefits such as increased crop yields through built-in pest and weed management, economic gains for farmers, increased food security by boosting global food supplies, and environmental benefits from reducing tillage needs. Many farmers have adopted GM crops due to economic and productivity advantages, reduced labor needs, and opportunities to farm more sustainably. Supporters argue that GM technology can play an important role in helping agriculture meet the challenging demands of feeding a growing global population. Skepticism and Criticism around GM Crops While GM crops have been embraced globally, controversy and skepticism also exists. Some criticism includes concerns over unknown long-term health and environmental risks, possibility of new superweeds and superpests developing resistance, lack of testing and regulation, domination of the seed industry by a few major corporations, and socioeconomic issues around licensing practices and seed patents. Opponents argue that natural plant breeding methods can achieve the same goals as GM without exposing the food supply or environment to potentially hazardous risks that genetic engineering may entail. There are also concerns that the spread of transgenes from genetically modified seeds to wild relatives or conventional crops cannot be prevented and could impact biodiversity. Developing countries are more cautious about adopting GM crops due to lack of local research capacity and health monitoring infrastructure.

Unveiling the Truth About Modern Plant-Based Diets

Life saving information!

In recent years, the embrace of plant-based diets has surged, lauded not only for their myriad health benefits but also for their minimal environmental footprint. This shift towards greener, more sustainable eating habits represents a conscious move away from animal products, driven by a collective desire to nurture our bodies and the planet alike. Yet, beneath the verdant allure of plant-based…

Black Carrot Miracle Food. True Story!

Did ya know,.... due to the high anthocyanin content in black carrots they are incredibly healthy?

Ya see those Anthocyanins belong to a class of compounds called flavonoids, many of which contain antioxidant effects,.... which fight unstable molecules, called free radicals, that have the potential to damage cells and increase the risk of certain diseases.

The more anthocyanins ya got, the better health you will be in.

Black carrot juice has 28 times more health benefits than regular orange carrots! These carrots are chock-full of nutrients that can fight diseases like cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity and oxidative stress.

Know why you don't see Black Carrots in the grocery stores?

Because we consumers want those long and slender looking orange carrots that are genetically called "Imperator Carrots", and yes they are genetically altered to grow that way because growers are told to sacrifice healthy, tasty goodness for beauty, and we do judge a book by it's cover it seems, even though we teach just the opposite?!?!?

This is why your Homegrown carrots may look different than the same carrots on the grocery store shelves.- Your home grown carrots being twining around each other like vines or crooked, split, tiny, forked, or too fibrous, while Carrots in the grocery are more uniform, handsome, because it's more of a beauty contest then a healthy carrot!

Ya see you don't get to see the ugly carrots, nope, industry tosses over 40% of what it grows going to animal food and other uses. So all you see is pristine looking carrots, and not as healthy as they use to be.

That's why you're never gonna see Black Carrots in most grocery stores, because they are ugly looking health miracles, Lol.

You can only find them at certain farmers markets, Trader Joe's and some whole foods markets, so ask for them and maybe your store will order them?

Or keep eating those bio-genetically engineered veggies that aren't as healthy, but look fantastic,........ and keep your medical insurance up to date!

"but if you put it in the oven it'll taste better!" it's a £3 veggie lasagne from aldi. there's no cure for that.

i like it when readymade meals have those cooking instructions that are like "oven: 180 fan, preheat, 35 minutes, turn halfway through and sprinkle with a grating of fresh parmesan. alternatively, whack it in the microwave for 30 seconds and you're good to go." it's like they want the best for me but they're also realistic enough to know that it's never going to happen.

This was not in Dick's plans today. Seriously, it was his one day off and all he wanted to do was bug the shit out of Jay and relax in the comfort of his own home before heading to the manor and practically beg for Alf's good food.

All Dick got was being kidnapped with another person and Riddler's goons. No blindfolds, hands cuffed and tied with a rope. Wow, they really didn't want them to escape today. It's time to just wait for his brothers... maybe B, too.

"So, is Fashion Disaster #3 gonna do something with us, or are we just sitting here to look like two pretty birds?" Dick didn't recognize the voice, but he did snort.

"Quiet." One of the goons demanded as he hit the other guy in the face with the gun.

"You know, you told me to talk once, and now you're telling me to shut up? How does that work? Cause I can totally make an echo." Oh god, this civilian is taunting the goons. Sir, we are still tied, and they can kill us.

Is he... he is! He's humming, Baby Shark! OK Dick, don't laugh. Don't laugh. Hold it in. You can do it. Fuck. No, he can't. Dick took a deep breath as he attempted to regulate his breathing to not laugh at all. Cause, oh my god, this guy is making him want to laugh!

"So... how's it going? Besides being tied up like a domninatrix waiting for us to loosen up." Dick looked at the other guy. He was cute and fucking hilarious. Warm ice blue eyes and shaggy crow black hair.

"Oh, you know hanging out. Trying not to die from laughter. Could be worse." Dick grinned.

"See! That's what I'm saying...! People need to loosen up around here. How do you feel like breaking out?" The smirk on the other man's face screamed menace.

This is the type of person who Dick watches out for while being a cop. The other guy gave him a look. He had said that aloud. Whelp. Too late now.

"Bro. My record is clean-ish. But like sometimes my family is all kind of crazies. Mad scientists types. Genetics, y'know?" Dick still didn't know this man's name.

Dick cackled, "You're a scientist?"

The other man smiled widely, "Engineer for WE actually." Dick noticed the man's hands were free now. The cuffs and rope weren't cut, but he somehow got out anyway.

"Oh, really? How long have you been working at WE?"

"Hey! I said, be quiet! Now, shut up and stop talking!"

The smaller man huffed, proceeded to grab the goon by the gun, flip him forward, and then kicked him in the face, knocking him out.

Dick blinked, "How..? Wha-"

"Like I asked, do you wanna break out? I'll forgive you for being a cop and a date?"

Yeah... "You know what, why not?"

could genetic engineering make versions of one sophont's food edible to another's?

There's way too many variables in food and basic incompatibilities in molecular mechanics for that to be a realistic goal.
