does organic mean there is no gmi really

[gotchaeme]

want to know as i was watching food inc and its so scary as the gm are cross breeding with the organic its terible !

[another-view]

What's so terrible about it? Strawberries as big as apples! Yes please.

[joggerjayne]

Organic just means ... grown with sh!t ... I think.

Animals pass their diseases out on their poop, and then it gets spread on our food.

Rather you than me !

You've probably been eating GM altered food for years without realising it. How do you think they develope new strains of cereal crops that are resistant to mildew and pests? Or that can grow in poorer soil or with less pesticides? So everything from bread, cereals. pasta, noodles, thickeners that are in soups and sauces and processed foods are bound to have them in.

I never really saw the problem with GM foods. If something can be bred to grow quicker or repel pests, then that can only be a good thing, surely?

[gotchaeme]

why are you so iggnornat , manure is a natural fertilizer people are not getting sick from this more people are getting cancers and diabetes from the crap that your all eating like processed foods

[mccfluff]

wind up.....

[gotchaeme]

and all the old seeds are going to be dead and we lose all our heritage , and as for your strawberries that are as big as apples you eating hormones and chemicals and also they pick them when there green and then ripen them just before they get to the supermarket with ethalene gas ......oh really yummy now

[squarebear]

That's more to do with eating junk all day and the modern way of living than GM crops.

[McMouse]

Organic certification from organisations like The Soil Association permits very small % of "contamination" by GM, herbicides and pesticides. They have to because the genie is out of the bottle and traces of this stuff can be found everywhere.

I'm guessing this is either a wind up or you are a schoolchild.

[gotchaeme]

our bodies can take natural things it cant take things that create carcinogens in our bodies

[MarkRae]

I'd suggest almost certainly both, judging from the level of English...

[squarebear]

If people all thought like you gotchaeme, we would still be sitting in caves chipping flint and hunting mammoths. It appears that you know more than the scientists and food producers who develop these crops. I would suggest you email them your findings.

[MarkRae]

Mammoths? Not for the last ten thousand years or so...

[gotchaeme]

ok explain to me why this subject is so funny , just because i choose to want natural foods and you dont its a wind up ?

[squarebear]

You get my point though. New things develop all the time. This mass hysteria when something new comes out is really quite worrying.

[squarebear]

We think it's a wind up because nobody in their right mind would get so hysterical and go on about diabetes, carcinognens and the like, when you obviously have no clue about the subject.

[gotchaeme]

ok have any of you watched the film food inc?

[squarebear]

I watched Marathon Man but it didn't stop me going to the dentist.
