If I were going to raise ideal beef I’d grass fed them 90% through their juvenile rearing and then switch to a more mixed diet of corn and grass for the adults.

Or we can always make Kobe Lobster. That’s lobster fed an exclusive diet of Kobe beef. (ref anyone?)

What you fail to understand is that if you believe in evolution you essentially believe that all foods are GMO.

There is simply not enough movement of DNA across species to account for the high species diversity and complexity seen in nature. There has to be a vector for it and that vector is most likely a virus (sometimes a bacterium).

It’s been the same SINCE early history……

It’s been the same early history – the effort to combine positive traits from different plants or animals into one. The effort has always been limited by the science and technology of the time. Over the years it changed, improved of course. But what’s going on in the finest GMO labs of today has the same goal as in ancient history – combining positive traits from various organizations into one organism.

Ultimately, because anti-GMO-ers misunderstand or reject the science, often willfully, it’s a case of fear of the unknown with a dash of Luddite-ism and a pinch of anti-corporatism.

Very similar to anti-vaxers.

Cows eat grass all day, but they come running for the corn with supplements. The best marbled beef isn’t just grass fed, as I understand it.

But “they” keep putting out these fake reports, which get big play in media, but no big news when they are proven to be just another lie.

I wonder if these same people refuse some of the miracle drugs we have come up with for various treatments. Of course some refuse the vaccines, but only get away with it because we have almost eliminated those diseases in the US.

Corn in the market is also mostly GM, and the whole labeling movement is just designed to freak out the ignorant folks. There is some premium farmers get for the non-GM, and the seed is cheaper. $250 for one bag of corn … that stuff ain’t cheap. The non-GM seed isn’t cheap either.

Right … lots of Round-up (glyphosate) resistant weeds evolved “naturally”, even though scientists thought they’d never “figure it out”. It took them about 15 years is all.

And the traits that kill off rootworms basically produces a chemical that is used by organic gardeners, considered completely safe for humans, and means I don’t have to spray pesticides. So only pests that eat the plant get killed, not the bees, for instance. (and we plant 10% “refuge” seed, without the traits, to try to avoid breeding resistance)

These anti-GMO nuts cause harm. Someone says “Frankenfood” and they freak out like they’re at a scary movie.

There are too many restaurant choices these days to spend money at one which endorses leftist nonsense like fear of “GMO” crops.

The FACT is, there is virtually no plant in the mainstream food chain, including grasses, which has not been genetically modified. That’s what Luther Burbank did, following Mendel, etc. Granted, they only used cross-pollination and selective breeding, but that’s all they had available.

– –

And you can’t tell the difference between traits added over time by pollination and those added in a genetics lab. No one can.

It’s superstition, and I refuse to support it with a single dime.

I have yet to see any real tangible evidence that GMOs are harmful.

90%+ of the soybeans and soy products (including soybean oil in many of our foods) come from GMO soy plants.

Now, Monsanto, on the other hand…

They’ll have to replace the corn with Maize, as corn is GM Maize.

I am going to teach myself photosynthesis and then write a book about it and go on Dr. Oz and sell stuff to liberals.

You too can learn the ancient techniques of photosynthesis. These secrets were found in 12,000 year old texts recently discovered in Arizona. These sacred texts were written by the Anasazi Indians in their native language Amquzpoiubauemale.

I have translated these sacred writings into both Texan and English and copies will be available from Amazon for $29.95. But wait…. there’s more. For an additional $9.99 I will send you a map of the 23,495 most sacred Indian sites in Arizona.

“There are also many crops which have had alien genetic material inserted into their DNA”

Hey, all that probing had to pay off some way.
