I’m having trouble with the links…  Each link directs me to an “Expression Login” page?

To the USDA and members of congress;
Every time we allow adulteration of our food chain, its one more time we risk experimenting with the lives of our children and grandchildren. Please stop the experimentation!!! I say NO to GMO!!!!

From Andy on Wed, February 10, 2010

Dear USDA,

Thank you for ignoring the anti-scientific and regressive pleas of the slow food movement.  Your adherence to the principles of science and not some Food Taliban’s prescription and application of the “precautionary principle,” allows billions of people in Asia — who wouldn’t otherwise be able to eat — to survive.

Continue ignoring people who insist on reading tea leaves and casting lots instead of listening to validated scientific research.

Thank you,

Andy

Isn’t all agriculture the result of some form of genetic engineering?  When I took bio 101 Mendels crossing of peas was one of the first lessons of genetics. Simply dismissing all GMO as bad seems kind of shortsighted, e.g. are we saying it isn’t safe to eat a grapefruit, the product of hybridization, gmo by another name. 

Please don’t misunderstand me, I see much that is wrong with some practices in GMO, e.g. sterilized crops, etc.  That seems to be much more of a reason for alarm imho.

People that are willing to have good grades look for a professional paper writing service to order their term paper titles at. The same things we do also.

We have the right to object to being human guinea pigs.  We have the right to choose which foods we buy, whether it be organic, conventional or GMO free.  Farmers who choose not to grow GMO crops have the right to grow their crops harassment free from Monsanto’s roving gang of lawyers, and people have the right to save seeds and use them for next years crops. 

But in actuality, I should have said, we are Supposed to have rights.  But they are so often trampled on, bypassed, and bought.

So, Monsanto has just recently created a tomato that will last - spoil-free - on your counter for six weeks.

They’ve accomplished this by suppressing a specific enzyme in the tomato and increasing another.

So, how do we know that they enzyme they are suppressing is not vital to our health and well-being? How do they know that the suppressed enzyme could be one of the key elements of the tomato that helps humans stave off cancer? Heart disease?

The answer is: we don’t.

When we screw around with nature, nature will rebel and screw around with us.

We are against GEF in every way! I do not want to eat the food or have our invironment altered. We are beekeepers and try very hard to keep our world safe for honey bees. No GEF Please.

No to genetically engineered food not only are health issues concerns but genetically engineered crops can deplete the soil.  The long term consequences are still to be determined. Don’t make us guinea pigs, people have a right to know what they are eating and where it comes from.

Leave our food supply alone! NATURE has engineered our fruits and veges with the perfect blends of micronutrients that work in harmony with each other to deliver the nutrients our bodies need. For example, spinach has vitamin C that allows its iron supply to be delivered efficiently to our bodies.  Can Monsanto say the same thing about their GE tomatoes…NO because they do not have the perfect knowledge and balance of nature!!! 

My children are not lab rats for Monsanto’s experimentations!!
