Be more brainwashed you moron. If anything greepeace and monsanto dance at the same string.
Monsanto is literally the most evil company on earth and there is zero benefits to any of their products.
Defending monsanto is the most retarded thing you can do. Only because greenpeace is shit does not mean monsanto is good.

>>41678124
Clearly you haven't done any fucking research because you're lying. They actually don't have any more nutritional value than other foods and they havemore pesticides because they grow in the the organism instead of just being sprayed on.

>>41678124
Your list is bullshit.
Not to mention that farmers aren't allowed to rebreed the GMO seeds but will have to buy them new every year.
It's literally the most jewish thing ever.

There is nothing wrong with pesticides unless they're being sprayed into the air you fucking retard. That's when they affect animals and other plant matter. Having a non toxic pesticide within the plant is a good idea, just because you don't understand science doesn't mean it's not effective
>>41678206

>>41678124
the problem isn't the GMO food in itself, it's the fact that they use their leverage to uphold patents on the genetic material of seeds.

- They sell pesticides
- They sell seeds which have genes that make them resistant to said pesticides
- They force farmers to sign contracts saying they will not reuse Monsanto seeds
- They patent the genetic material on said seeds and sue anyone who has crops with that genetic material in it and didn't pay Monsanto for it.

If you don't think this is jewish as fuck and doesn't create any conflicts on interest whatsoever, congratulations, you're retarded.

"An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception.

Those who will see it will be thought of as insane.

We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us.

We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive.

Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves.

This will also prevent them from seeing the changes as they occur.

We will always stand above the relative field of their experience for we know the secrets of the absolute.

We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks.

We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite.

We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening.

We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air.

They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn.

The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds.

We will promise to find a cure from our many fronts, yet we will feed them more poison.

The poisons will be absorbed trough their skin and mouths, they will destroy their minds and reproductive systems.

From all this, their children will be born dead, and we will conceal this information.

The poisons will be hidden in everything that surrounds them, in what they drink, eat, breathe and wear.

We must be ingenious in dispensing the poisons for they can see far.

We will teach them that the poisons are good, with fun images and musical tones.

Those they look up to will help. We will enlist them to push our poisons.

They will see our products being used in film and will grow accustomed to them and will never know their true effect.

When they give birth we will inject poisons into the blood of their children and convince them its for their help."

How do you even buy stocks?

You leave a note and a pile of money under your pillow and the stocks-fairy comes and leaves a binder full of paper.

>>41678482
Okay, okay, I know that I should know this. I just never learned.

>>41678320
it's reasonable for a corporation to patent a sufficiently novel and unique idea, but all they're doing is patenting REAL ALIVE THINGS on the planet that grow and are grown in such away that could make them dominant over non-patented, natural food. when most naturally-occurring "products" have been wiped out, the only seeds available will be ones obtained via monsanto contract or theft, which brings the commerce they're operating down to the level of extortion. but you might totally be fine with nobody ever being able to legally grow their own food ever again, right?

>>41678320
The problem is, it's perfectly feasible for a seed that was never touched by Monsanto to become resistant to the herbicides Monsanto sells. In fact, if you just use the herbicide by itself and replant the non GMO seeds that survived, congratulations, you now only have plants with the Monsanto-patented gene! Now where would you like to get sued? Genetic material patents are just plain evil.

>>41677319
>libtards

You mean rural farmers?

>>41678460

Don't buy individual stocks unless you have a good amount of money to invest (4-5000$ would be a mininum imo). You buy them through a brokerage.

>>41678320
No, he's right about the pesticide resistant GMOs, I sure don't see a problem with it though. If you want to be Farmer McGregor and do all your farming the all natural way, go right ahead and get your fuckjng ass whooped. If you want to play in the big leagues, you gotta pay the people who made those leagues exist.

>>41678525
So you're mad that their product is so good that it is going to dominate the market in years to come and they've already taken steps to protect themselves against theft? Or are you trying to imply that their seeds will somehow spread over the entire world and we won't be able to grow anything other than monsanto plants?
>>41678547
I have never heard of this happening, Monsanto signed a contract in court saying that they would not sue anyone who's crop has been accidentally contaminated with their product.

>>41677958
it doesn't have to be as bad...the problem with it is the reluctance to label GMO food products, and the fact that the FDA can still just lie to us as per usual even if the food does get labeled more transparently

>>41678551

This would be one of those pick one scenarios to point out that you're retarded.

>>41678597
>accidentally
this is because anyone who keeps their seeds after contamination obviously knew what they were doing and kept the undoubtedly superior seeds on purpose. now it's theft.

see what happened there?

>>41678597
>trying to imply that their seeds will somehow spread over the entire world and we won't be able to grow anything other than monsanto plants?
yes? that has legitimately happened with corn

>>41678597
i'm not saying it's bad that they want to create food that is resilient and dominant, but i think the way they're being allowed to do it right now bodes abuse to the regular person's detriment and no other

>>41678525
Monsanto plants are only viable for a single season, they can't wipe anything out.
>>41678547
If they did manage to generate resistance, which is ridiculously unlikely, they would not do it by generating the bacterial gene that makes a plant roundup ready, so a two dollar lab test performed by a Mexican peasant lab tech would tell the court that you're fine.

>>41678636
Show me a case when this has ever happened.
>>41678643
That is plain incorrect, there are many places to buy organic corn that hasn't been touched by monsanto. Their corn is the most prevelant because it gives the highest yield and low prices + higher yield = more profits.

We've been over this.

You should read the articles you post.

>>41678752
beans produced from monsanto plants can't be fertilized? is that what you're saying? then why would they have a contract with their farmers about not using the second generation seeds? do you have a supporting article somewhere? or is this just what monsanto's website says?

people can lie, but the millions they spend and the thousands they employ to find seedthieves every year tells of something distinctive

>>41678121
What's wrong with organic pesticides? Caffeine is a pesticide.

>>41678709
>>41678718
The plants literally kill themselves every year. They don't produce viable offspring. Why the fuck am I wasting my degree in biochem explaining this to retards on the internet. You have to buy new seeds every year. They sue when you steal seeds and plant them. A plant which can not propagate can not choke out other plants unless it can do so in a single season, leaving a barren field at the end of the year, but that is heavily unlikely, and you can just replant your organic corn anyways

>>41678774
The guy sold his beans at a market then re bought them to replant and cross breed so that he could plant monsanto crop without having to buy from them again. He was trying to exploit a loophole and the courts saw that. This wasn't a case of accidental contamination, you're being an idiot

>>41678814
Where did he say anything about fertilizer. Get it together chief

>>41678859
if you were to tell me why they actually have to buy seeds every year other than the sole purpose of making more money i'd probably agree with their rationale.

>>41678967
FARMERS DON'T FUCKING RE PLANT THEIR CROPS. I'VE SAID THIS LIKE THREE TIMES ALREADY. NO ONE DOES IT. IT'S STUPID AND PRODUCES LOW YIELDS.

>>41679017

1. Farmers don't replant crops
2. The crop won't grow a second year
3. If they replanted the seeds then they could cross breed and produce monsanto crops without paying monsanto
Do you understand now that I've explained it like 5 times? Do you want me to draw you a diagram?

>>41678801
>http://rt.com/usa/monsanto-patents-sue-farmers-547/

>The panel’s reference to “traces” of Monsanto’s patented genes means farms that are affected by less than 1 percent.

You should read between the legalese.

people actually think organic farming is 17th century farming or something. nobody replants their crop. the closest they might come to replanting is making clones using grafting.

>>41679106
Why would farmers who do not steal their seeds have more than 1 percent monsanto crop? Again, Monsanto have never sued anyone who didn't have acres of their crops growing. If you believe that they have then you've been reading biased news sources and should actually educate yourself on something before speaking about it.

>>41679077
You're getting angry because you're a dimwit and deliberately try to missunderstand what people are telling you.
The cognitive dissonance would kill me too.
I used to "shill" for monsanto and gmo when I was an edgy teenager as well to piss off "hippies". Then I realized all I was doing was repeating propaganda I read in "Der Spiegel" that was already written in such a way that teenagers who desperately want to be smart can redress them as their own opinion.
I started to realize that I was actually wrong and did the research myself. GMO is total bullshit and there is no single reason for it to exist.
>it just speeds up what natural breeding and evolution take generations for
there's a reason that evolution sorts out the freaks
>it helps the third world
it's actually counterproductive in the third world, just teach them to plant cheap, normal rice
>it uses less pesticides
because there's already pesticides inside, they're also only resistant to roundup so you gotta buy that too to get double jewed
>it has more nutrients
it actually has less but more glyphosate and other toxins, depending on what monsanto scam you're planting

The only reason GMO exist is to make big bucks for jews with something they couldn't monetize prior.
Just you wait until they find ways to patent water or air and then sue the living shit out of every nigger with a watering hole for copyright violations.

The only reason to defend monsanto is if you're a shill or naive with a superiority complex.

>>41678626
So you're actually claiming that Monsanto isn't draining local farmers dry and running them out of business in favor of their industrialized farming methods?

And I'm retarded?

What city that doesn't have a rural area do you live in?

>>41679196
What genes do you believe don't help the third world. The ones that make vitamin a enriched golden rice? The ones that stop plants from dying during cold weather? The ones that increase yield and decrease space needed per plant? Seriously, everyone is getting hung up on companies protecting their products, why would Monsanto produce seeds that could be used once then never need to be bought again since plants without the terminator gene can just give you more seeds endlessly. Not only that, you can give your friends seeds too so they don't have to buy from monsanto. Monsanto sells a single seed, then goes bankrupt because of their massive r and d. Ebin work greenpeace

>>41679196
You're projecting so heavily, I'm ignoring everything in your post that isn't an actual argument.
Monsanto has never sued anyone from cross conamination and have signed agreements that they would not. GMOs are non-toxic and have been used since the 80's, they produce higher yield and have more nutrients. That is a plain fact. Stop calling everyone who doesn't believe liberal propaganda a shill. If you do your own research you will discover that Monsanto hasn't done anything to hurt small farmers except have a superior product. You're upset because they make money with a good product, you're ridiculous.

Just as a side note to the discussion, I get there was massive amounts of money put into developing the stuff, and the people that developed it deserve some sort of compensation, but don't you think it's a major drawback of capitalism that if you create a product that only needs to be used once, you burn yourself?

I was buying a guitar string the other day for a nylon string guitar and the guy guessed correctly I needed a D string, which happens to break often. He joked "they should design an unbreakable D string... but then they would probably go bankrupt".

It's kind of like curing cancer, or making a laptop that doesn't turn to shit in 2 years. There is some moral hazard in providing a shittier product, so that there is continued demand for it. Or in Monsanto's case just getting the right legal documents.

Anyway, was just food for thought.

What the fuck.

Enjoying paying 5x more for the same exact thing just because you fear science and are too lazy to wash pesticides off with a drop of Dawn dish soap or soaking it for 15 mins.

Literally all the difference. I don't at all fear modifying the DNA of food. We've been doing that anyway through forceful crossbreeding not to mention it's just a kneejerk reaction against progress.

GMOs have been the future since we discovered genetics and people who are against it probably don't understand the degree of selective breeding that's been going on with their foods for a while now, but using that excuse to legitimize patenting strains is just wanting to be fucked in the ass by corporations.

>people who are against it probably don't understand the degree of selective breeding that's been going on with their foods for a while now

Of course we do, you just say that it's genetic engineering when it isn't

>>41681323

The thing is that herbicides and pesticides have been hit by heavy regulation, becoming more specialized and in less quantity. The amount applied per hectares has fell in some cases as much as 99%.

And we also have 'organic food' that doesn't use those things. And if you don't trust the harvesters you can always plant to fulfill your own needs. Better than trusting a company who has a history of doing shady business.

Regardless, as I said before: I don't care if people buy it or not. Just label it so everyone can be free to avoid it.

>>41681318
We've been forcefully crossbreading plants for over 1000 years and been genetically modifying them since the 80s. The amount of testing that has went on for these things is unreal but still some people lobby against GMOs for no reason. As you look further into the facts you can see that there is nothing wrong with the way they're produced, grown or modified. GMOs are as safe as any other food.
>>41681367
They use less roundup on their crop compared to other pesticides. Roundup is proven to be non-toxic to humans. If you watched the video I posted way up there you would've gotten some links to studies proving this. Unfortunately you're unable to accept information unless it's printed on the back of a yoga mat so I can't convince you with facts. Enjoy being ignorant of the world around you.
>>41681438
Genetic patents are there to protect Monsanto, I'm not going to say that's good or bad because it's in their interest to protect themselves from theft. I'm not sure where I stand on this issue. My points have been that Monsanto aren't an evil company that sues farmers for cross contamination or causes mass suicide or that their products are poisonous. Whether it's a good idea to allow patents on GMO is more a debate about how the laws and courts work.

People don't get that "profit" doesn't mean they'll work hard so your life becomes nicer, it means that they'll work hard to make more profit. They are gaining control over areas they shouldn't and that gives them a lof of power to fuck things up for the sake of getting more profit. What's worse, they could be using science to produce defective or morally unacceptable modifications on purpose in order to gain more control over the market. For example, crops that fuck up everything else but said crops. For the sake of profit and competence this will be done, mark my words.

"They" shield behind science all while claiming that if you're against them you're against science and progress, which is actually wrong. Scientists are not the problem, but the marketeers and their dishonest system.

Maybe you haven't noticed but science these years has been replaced with "science", which is a biased research with an agenda, supported by an army of citations which are all biased and follow an agenda.

Truth is that most scientists who work for these big shot companies get very specific tasks and often they don't even know what they're investigating, just analyse and write the results. Only the boss has access to all the data pieced together and can do with it whatever he wants because he owns the whole investigation. It's a bit hard to explain, some chemistbro told me about it some time ago.

People just have a fear of science. My cousin lives in Cold Springs, NY. There are a lot of little farms up there and she is in love with the idea of farming. They are also very big anti-GMO people over there. Everything is incredibly overpriced because the farmers want to remain in business and because they play on peoples thinking that Natural = Good. They give you these images of old earthly guys plowing the field holding up cabbage near tilled ground and you think: "Wow! look at this, organic!"

Some of them think that even eating non-GMO foods will cure them of their illnesses. It's a modern day religion.

>>41681694
>slippery slope
Also just because scientists have an agenda doesn't make their science invalid. If the results show what they show then that's fact. Results show that GMOs are no more toxic that any other kind of food. That's a fact.

>>41681644

Where did you get that info? Synthetic pesticides are not allowed for the organic label, only those who are organic and found in nature. A farmer can be punished if he was found using pesticides with the organic label.

>>41681770
think he's saying people who aren't certified organic still use it but claim they are "organic". Which is true where I live.

If they are certified, then lel gl with that.

>>41681766
They think their contains unknown unknowns about the GMO food that we are overlooking. It's paranoia.

>People just have a fear of science.


I'm sure Agent Orange took some pretty smart people working pretty hard at doing science to create, are you going to tell me I have no cause to fear stuff like that?

>>41681723
Corn -- you just need to up for nitrogen and moisture content at or before planting.

Buy some "Anionic" polymers (cat
ionic will get you dinged from EPA) from a company called SNF in Georgia and do 5-10 lbs / acre. Shouldn't cost more than $3-4/lb.

I would also mix in sole gypsum or line depending on what kind of soil you have

The polymer will keep your moisture content up 50-75% higher AND prevent leeching and soul crusting in most cases

I've sen yields improve by 5-10% just with the polymer in some cases -- either way use it on a small part of your field this sprig when you till and measure the difference -- remember a little goes a looong way

>>41681770
Well organic pesticides are still pesticides I should've specified but I was running out of space. Even if they're organic they can have adverse effects to the surrounding environment because a pesticides job is to kill insects then spraying more means that more gets into the air and environment. Monsanto crops use less air-borne pesticides and rely mostly on their own built in pesticides + round up.

>>41681855
Agent orange was government ordered. It's not like Monsanto thought "how can we fuck up these people real bad" on their own recognizance. It was their job to do that. Does it make them bad people? Yes. Does it mean that their future products are bad? Not necessarily.

>>41681855
Agent orange was designed to kill people.

GMO has been used in the populace for decades. Breeding is a form of genetic engineering. it's a fear that has no merit whatsoever. it's not like you can look at GMO food and say: "Here is the poison and why". With Agent organge, it can be demonstrated to be dangerous, very easily.

It's really just paranoia and misunderstandings about science. People more or less fear these unknown unknowns like people always have in the past whenever anything new came along

>>41681861
thanks, I'll do some reading.

>>41681989
Pretty much this, coupled with some popular myths that monsanto sue small farmers for cross contamination and that ungodly study that I won't even name that linked round up to cancer make people think that GMOs are evil and scary.
It's funny when you debate with anti-GMO people because they can't help but bring Monsanto into it eventually as though that has any relevance to their authenticity.

3rd generation farmer here, you could not be more retarded. GM crops are more tolerant of harsh conditions, resistant to both yeild effecting parasites and blemish causing ones (because you fuckers in the city insist every fruit is perfect, one black spot and its only good for juicing) and generally, you have to use LESS pesticides and herbicides on GM strains.

Some studies contradict other studies. Which one prevails? The one with more sponsors, because no sponsors= no research at all.

>If the results show what they show then that's fact. Results show that GMOs are no more toxic that any other kind of food. That's a fact.
I told you why results show what they show.

And I told you why those results show what they show, but since arguing here is basically "You lie" vs "no, U" , I'll speak about something else.

Let's assume I was absolutely wrong and you were right, GMO was as perfect as they claim.
They're STILL gaining control of GMO patents, and they pretty much have the power.If you control the market you can weed out all the competitors. Is that good? Hell no.

What happened to France when the water company got privatized? They were pleased at first, but monopoly came shortly after, and after that they got the worst service possible to increase profit to the max. It WILL happen not because I say so but because that's how the system works, because their goal is not progress but profit. It's basically like studying history. It repeats itself.

Why throw my money away into a corporation that's on the downward slide? Also when it comes to dividend stocks they're pretty weak. Lockheed is one the best anti-liberal stocks and unlike Monsanto they aren't actually evil.

I agree that monopolising any market is a very bad thing. I'm not arguing against that in the slightest. Once all this anti-GMO lobbying slows down then hopefully other companies will adopt similar methods of producing high yield, quality products. Right now Monsantos product is the best out there which is why they've successfully cornered the market. It just takes a little ingenuity from another company and then there will be competition, which further ensures a quality product. I'm not saying that Monsanto are a good or "moral" company but they're not as bad as people make them out to be and GMOs themselves are the future of farming and should not be feared.

Gmo is bad because when you get rid of genetic diversity it means if a sickness dose kill one they are all likely to die. Then we starve if we are too dependent on gmo. Rural nd here

>>41682380
This is one of the few credible concerns with GM crops. But the problem exists with monocroping with or without GM.

>>41682380
This does seem like a legitimate concern, but if other companies get their ass in gear and begin engineering similar products then this shouldn't be a problem because we'll have multiple high-yield GMO crops that are all slightly different. I'm not a biologist but this logic works in my head.

>>41677319

Yes, with all the yeild benefits GM provides included.

Plus seed bank projects maintaining samples of all strains, both natural and GM over time so we can roll back whenever we want.

>>41682370
Honestly, one of the few criticisms of Monsanto that carries any weight is how they are set up to suppress any competitor coming onto the market with their own GM strains via litigation. They are making a mad dash to patent anything they can nail down to prevent competition on the GM market.

Crop wise/food safety wise Monsanto is fine. In terms of litigation they can be right cunts.

[citations very much needed]

Using absolutes put you in the position of requiring evidence to back up the bold claim. Tip of advice: if you don't have that evidence, stick to generalizations. At least then you aren't completely wrong.

>Which peer-reviewed studies have been done to show that GMOs are dangerous? Again if you even try to post the cancer-rats study then I'm going to post laughinggirls.jpg
I said this was shaky ground and I won't step into it, since one wrong study and my other points would crumble. Just take a look at pleb science and the climate change wars:
http://www.populartechnology.net/2009/10/peer-reviewed-papers-supporting.html
This happens because both sides are financed by people who ultimately influence their conclusions so real science is lost.
I've seen similar things happen in neuroscience, chemistry, medicine and (sight) psychology.

>Once all this anti-GMO lobbying slows down then hopefully other companies will adopt similar methods of producing high yield, quality products.
Or it will happen like in Spain's internet companies and they will stick together like a big mafia, making the prices high and the quality low. Either way playing with food is always a dangerous game and the fact that it may happen is dangerous enough. Right now it's out of control and it doesn't have the right regulations.

gmo isn't why monsanto is a bunch of kikes

>>41682927
And with the climate change issue don't take it too seriously, it was just an example of how "scientific research" uses /pol/ tier cherrypicking in order to get the upper hand.

The EU is working towards a total ban on GMOs not because they are dangerous or harmful or unhealthy.

They are banning them so the EU farmers don't have to compete with the more efficient, industrialized and productive farms in North America.

Legal protectionism.

The anti GMO crowd is a mix of environmentalists that are functionally retarded, conspiracy theorists, anti-human socialists, organic farms and protectionist farmers.

>>41683046
I understand where you're coming from about cherrypicking studies to prove a point but with GMOs that's not really the case. The most famous study done against GMOs was the cancer-rat one that got retracted because of how bad the science in it was. On the other hand there is hundreds of studies done to prove that GMOs are safe that have been peer-reviewed and published by prestigious scientific journals.
The monopolisation of the food industry is very concerning but business is business and the need for organic farming will always exist because it has a large market of people. GMOs are good because it gives us the potential to feed the entire world, literally end world hunger which has been a goal of humanity for a long time. If more companies get in on this and we start distributing, or better yet supplying foreign countries with the means to farm themselves then this is a huge leap forward in human evolution. The science behind GMOs is not the problem, it's the companies that are jewing about. When there is less hysteria surrounding GMOs then more companies will be inclined to develop their own

Well I like to look at real effects, and the real effect is that EU farms don't need to worry about NA farmers anymore.
