And the third world should starve?
I'm so sick and tired of GMO KOOKS.
The fact is, Monsanto has saved more lives than Hitler murdered. They save more lives than we kill every day in America in abortuaries.
You are part of the affluent First World. You'll likely never know what it is like to go hungry unless your Guru tells you to fast. But getting beta carotene into the diets of millions who don't otherwise get it means that hundreds of thousands will *live* and millions will keep their eyesight.
It's a diet which is by no means perfect, but the people hungry in Asia don't care much about your waistline.
Great post Mamzelle and to the point!!
I could stand up and cheer!!
If it’s so good for them, let them grow and eat it, then.
Well said, ma’am.
3rd world doesn’t mean hungry. In most places where rice is a staple they have plenty. Shortages are usually caused by government intervention or outright theft.
The environmental movement is about reducing the impact of humans on the earth. Mass starvation is a way to accomplish the ultimate goal.
Amen brother. Amen.
“The fact is, Monsanto has saved more lives than Hitler murdered.”
I’d love to see cites of studies backing up that opinion...
I used to be of that opinion. After doing a lot of research, I'm not anymore. I avoid GMO foods. I also don't like the fact that because companies like Monsanto now OWN their GMO seed as a new kind of seed, they can charge farmers for it every year. Farmers no longer own the seeds they plant, and they can't harvest seed from their own crops. Don't let the fact that some nutty leftist groups oppose GMO food sway you, as it did me at first.
I'm not a KOOK - rather a convert to non-GMO foods. And I was able to prove this scientifically.
For me, personally, I can eat pretty much anything - and there is very little effect on my blood sugars. I am not diabetic. Mr. Peel, is NOT overweight and is VERY diabetic. (He's been needing up to 5 injections of insulin a day). The moment we dropped the synthetic food stuffs - the High Fructose Corn syrup, the spenda, the GMO-soy, the canola oil, etc, etc, his blood sugar numbers corrected themselves and he drifted toward normal.
You can give me a piece of Pepperidge Farm Rye bread, and my blood sugars numbers will moderately rise (as to be expected). I will start about 101 - go to 120, then an hour later, I'm back to 105 or so. Mr. Peel would start about 138 jump to 198-205, and stay that way for at least four hours later. The added junk in processed foods causes his body to panic - its as if he is having an allergic reaction.
What started us on this tact was a massive stroke he had 8 years ago. We never knew he was diabetic; it was undiagnosed diabetes that caused the stroke, and it is the junk in the foods that affects him terribly.
