Can Monsanto and GMO's start WW III? The Russians say maybe....

The shocking minutes relating to President Putin’s meeting this past week with US Secretary of State John Kerry reveal the Russian leaders “extreme outrage” over the Obama regimes continued protection of global seed and plant bio-genetic giants Syngenta and Monsanto in the face of a growing “bee apocalypse” that the Kremlin warns “will most certainly” lead to world war....# # #

If they can provide a local solution, without all the fossil fuels burned to transport them, isn't that a net positive?
Seems a lot of anti-GMO perhaps pro-organics ignore the whole climate change issue in favor of their own hyperbole. Not only that, the whole world can't be fed on organically grown produce. Its not sustainable on a large scale and only makes sense to the elites who can afford it.

Perhaps implementing the USDA organic documentation would be impossible.
Changing peoples understanding of what a sustainable diet is (education of what is in season near them etc). In most of the world that is not elite enough to eat food that got shipped there, organic is the only affordable option because they can't afford patented seeds or patented chemicals.
Sure whole foods is not the answer. But neither is GMO mono-crops owned by a monopoly.

FYI, Getting up at 9AM Saturday Morning to be there by 10 just turned out to be impossible for me. I blew it off.
Woke up @ 11ish Saturday and thought Oh well. Watched some TV, then pushed some leaves and dirt around the yard in the afternoon. Still have not planted Tomato's yet.

so now the russians are saying the bee apocalypse is upon us and most certainly we will all die from starvation in 7-12 years.

Late to the party.
Some good GMO info in here. Anyone care to share more?
I'm a little surprised that there is basically no respected studies supporting the antiGMO side.
Am I missing something?

I have a couple people on my facebook that go on and on about the dangers of eating gmo food but they are smokers and I see no posts from them about that very real risk. I have an open mind and worry mostly about unintentional gene propagation but with billions of people to feed on a planet with a changing climate these crops are probably going to keep billions from starving - at least for a while. Watching crops wither and then still produce through the amazing drought last summer here in Iowa was amazing and then this summer we have had the wettest spring and early summer in history. Planting stuff that can handle these extremes and still produce is the new reality - if we want to eat that is. A lot of fields in northern Iowa will get nothing but cover crops this summer because they are too wet to work - still.

This is already being called hogwash by the mass media.
The great thing is that you can't do a gmo study without permission from the patent holder of the seed. Like not being able to study tobacco without consent from marlboro.
I'm stoked to see all the gmo loving hipsters in here feeling ironic by loving gmos since all the non cool people hate them. Have fun sucking down round up and having autistic children.
There's nothing that correlates the gmo to being bad for you. There's no way monsanto will let you do a real study on how your body is digesting the proteins. It's the sucking down of all those sweet herbicides and pesticides that'll get ya.god created man. winchester and baseball bats made them equal - evel kenievel

Is anyone in this thread saying they love GMO?
I'm just a simple girl trying to make my way in the universe...
I come up hard, baby but now I'm cool I didn't make it, sugar playin' by the rules
If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from, then you wouldn't have to ask me, who the heck do I think I am.

More of a pbr and flannel fueled retort that says I'm not gonna agree because that wouldn't be ironic.
Anyone notice the hipster girls are wearing cut off, high waisted mom jeans now? So gross.god created man. winchester and baseball bats made them equal - evel kenievel

I believe there are actually studies that have been done on global warming.
However, gmo was allowed into the food chain without any studies.
Why else would a law be passed protecting Monsanto from any lawsuits resulting from illness or death of people who ate their roundup shit?
The gmo studies are stifled but stuff like this is starting to show up:

“The science is quite clear: crop improvement by the modern molecular techniques of biotechnology is safe. The World Health Organization, the American Medical Association, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the British Royal Society, and every other respected organization that has examined the evidence has come to the same conclusion: consuming foods containing ingredients derived from GM crops is no riskier than consuming the same foods containing ingredients from crop plants modified by conventional plant improvement techniques.”
