Even if you do "eat only wild game and weeds" you're still eating genetically modified food. All food, types of life on the planet in the result of thousands of years of genetic modification. Nature has been modified the genetics of animals and plants that ended up being food for someone or something for thousands of years.

Some folk call this evolution. Farmers and herdsman have modified the genetics of animals and plants that ended up being food for hundreds of years. Some folk called this selective breeding.

Now folk in a laboratory are starting to modify the genetics of animals and plants that may end up being food. For centuries genetics have been affecting plants, animals and people. Sometimes the affect is a direct result of the genetics.

Sometimes the affect is an indirect affect of another species’ genetics. What determines which genetic modifications are “good” and which are “bad”. 1.

The results, both short term and long term 2. Someone or something with a predetermined, biased, disposition .

We are talking about poisons here in this article. The people's health will be harmed and no one will guess it is the food. Add this to the damage done by gluten/dairy/sugar/fluoride etc...people have no idea why they aren't doing well in health.

Eating GMO food with poison in it is not ok and some people refuse to eat it....rather starve. Shasha 15 months ago .

Ok, let's distinguish between additives and genetic engineering. These are two very distinct and different concepts. They only share one commonality that I can think of.

All additives are not good, but some are. All additives are not bad, but some are. And some additives are neither good nor bad.

Genetic changes in future generations of animals and plants should be measured by the same standard. Some changes are good and some are bad. And, the key is to evaluate each proposal on its own potential benefits and risks.It’s much more responsible to discuss the specific risks and/or specific benefits of potential changes of almost any kind that it is to try and approve or disapprove in change in general.

So what are the specific new food related processes that disturb y’all so much? .

There are poisons in the food, to keep bugs away and weeds, but we eat the poison. It is genetically engineered that way. See the article.

Every chance I get. I know what they can do to people's health - they nourish them. In places where food is scarce, or crops are hard to grow, they KEEP PEOPLE FROM STARVING.

Mercola is an alarmist of the worst sort. I've read his stuff before, and he's a) usually full of it, b) always selling something. I'm willing to bet he had some sort of whacked out 'supplement' in the side bar of this story that's supposed to undo the 'damage' done by GM foods.

People need to stop being afraid of every darn new thing that comes along. Really. GM foods will feed many, many times more people than they ever hurt - if we let them.

That, or folks can starve, produce prices can go through the roof, and only farmers and rich people will have decent diets. I have news for you, humans have been 'genetically modifying' crops for thousands of years. We're talking about making plants resistant to disease and drought - not crossing broccoli with poisonous jellyfish.

Mercola is right in helping people to find out about things like this. Shasha 15 months ago .

It is like Democrat/Republican....One can say the other is bad and they aren't. Mercola is great. Don't trust the big business.

I think he feeds your need for fear. He tells you things that fit or confirm your own beliefs - so he seems great. You really don't need any additional anxiety.

Please indulge the debunkers and at least consider that input.

If you researched it more, you would understand. Shasha 15 months ago .

I once subscribed to his service, actually. But after reading a few articles it became very obvious that he's a charlatan selling snake oil 95% of the time. There's *just* enough truth mixed in to keep him from being an outright liar.

I have been a nutritional consultant. I advocate specific, proven supplements for specific conditions. I'm not fond of the mainstream medical establishment in general (but I know exactly what they're good for and where they deserve much respect).So...it's not like I'm just spouting off randomly.

I know this guy's work and M.O. I know the dissenting arguments. Mostly he's an opportunistic fear monger selling overpriced nonsense to people who need HELP, not BS..

Mercola has accurate information. He is greatly helping. Shasha 15 months ago .

Add this to the damage done by gluten/dairy/sugar/fluoride etc...people have no idea why they aren't doing well in health. I eat all of these things, and am healthy. You don't eat these things, and claim to have several illnesses, and all sorts of problems, causing you to take massive amounts of junk and stuff and crap everyday.So who is actualy doing "well"?

> Eating GMO food with poison in it is not ok and some people refuse to eat it....rather starve. GMO food does not have poison in it. And who has starved to death by refusing to eat, Shasha?

.

I almost died from dairy /gluten....if I ate it I would look like the other MS people who don't know that is what is hurting them. See the article and more about the poison in the food. Many countries will not allow our food into their country.

Shasha 15 months ago .

Countries beg us for our food! And people do not get MS from their diet.

See Mercola. Com will have that information and a also saw a movie about it that explained how it was destroying the world....about Monsanto. Shasha 15 months ago .

That website is a pack of lies,, made up crap to scare you into buying his books. You really need to stop believing everything you are told. No one has refused to eat.No country is refusing our food.

What was the name of the movie? What countries refuse our food? Who has starved by refusing to eat GMF?

Why don't you answer the questuons? .

You are right but the new way is dangerous. Shasha 15 months ago .

This risk is higher than pesticides in our food. Shasha 15 months ago .

Thanks...There are even movies about it. It is a very dangerous thing they are doing to the people, and people are not aware. Shasha 15 months ago .

And of course we need to be aware of too much salt in our canned and packaged foods. Ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20100826/bc_olsen_sodium_100826/20100826? Hub=BritishColumbiaHome.

Lots of controvery going on about foods. This webpage mentions about "salmon" being genetically engineered. At this time on west coast Canada we have approx.30 MILLION salmon coming on their migratory route up the Fraser River.

Question is, why would they want to alter the fish when we have natural ones in our midst by the millions? truefoodnow.org/ .

Poison is a relative. Often things that are posion for one species are not poision to another. Looked over the article.

Word of advice, anytime someone makes general, vague and unfounded statements about a broad and diverse group of anything; they're more into propganda or instilling fear and doubt than they are about being truthful. Politely put, I recommend you don't buy a used car, or anything else for that matter from people who twist the facts to create an uproar. It's sad too.

Because there are some real concerns that need to be thoughtfully addressed about introducing artifically geneticly modified life into our ecosystem. But fear and doubt will only cloud the real issues and no benefit will be realized.

Yes, I eat genetically modified food. So do you. And "Dr." Mercola will say anything to get people to waste their money on his over priced books.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
