Consumed, the movie...GMOs

[gipper]

ABOUT THE FILM
CONSUMED is a dramatic thriller that explores the complex world of genetically modified food.The story is anchored by a working-class, single Mother on a hunt to uncover the cause of her son's mysterious illness. Interwoven are the stories of an Organic farmer, the CEO of a biotechnology corporation, two Scientists on the

GMOs impact every single one of us, every single day. And yet very few people even know what a GMO is. It is our hope that this film not only entertains but also sparks a dialogue about the future of our food, and inspires viewers to impact change.


Might be interesting, revealing, and informative.

"I don't know what genes are so altering them scares me."

What most people's objection to GMO actually is.

The film itself is not propaganda for a cause, per se: “It was important for us to not vilify Big Ag,” says Lister-Jones. “We wanted to present a balanced view and to give a voice to both sides so that audience members could leave making their own conclusions. More than anything we want them to leave with questions, because that’s what all of us can have. There have been no long-term studies; there are many regulatory loopholes. So I think without either side being able to make claims regarding safety, the biggest thing we can do is to start asking more questions.”

Is there not gene therapy going on with humans? It has improved the vision of 4 people classified as blind. It has had success in treating Leukemia. There is more.

Liberal fear of science.

True enough, but don't you think GMO foods should be tested, before being consumed by millions of Americans?

We are all lab rats to Monsanto and our corrupt government does nothing...in fact, they have worked to protect and assist Monsanto. Just more crony capitalism and few Americans are aware.

I wonder if the movie goes into the role of glyphosate?

The more I have researched this issue, the more I have come to suspect, it may not so much be GMO that is or is not causing havoc, but this over used chemical that so few longitudinal studies have been completed and peer reviewed.

Some preliminary studies indicate there are some problems.

Glyphosate is definitely bad and we are all exposed to it...thanks to Monsanto and our corrupt government.

Americans are exposed to numerous chemicals every day. From the chlorine and fluoride in our water, toothpaste, triclosan in soaps, chemicals in makeup, hair care products, and lotions; cleaning products, laundry soaps and dryer sheets...our contaminated food supply, etc...........................

That's why I wrote; "that so few longitudinal studies have been completed and peer reviewed."

There IS a reason for that you know.

There is also a reason that there are laws on the books protecting the use of this chemical and Monsanto.

If you don't know what Iron Triangles and Revolving door politics are, or how the government protects corporate power at the expense of consumers, perhaps you should learn.

Tampering with genetics the way it is happening right now is like someone that has no idea what a nuclear weapon is and is whacking at it with a hammer to see what happens.

Some are, some aren't.

I think it depends on how you live and the choices you make.

No idea what "your" paid bureaucrats in D.C. are up to huh?

 

[depotoo]

Now, if that is really true, then I would suspect, since it is in everything our Reps, as consumers, either don't eat, wash, etc., because they know there might be a problem they are willing to overlook for bucks. Now if that's the case, wouldn't you think they would eventually get tired of not eating, washing, etc, and do something about it?

What happens is that food grows bigger and better. Man has been modifying food since agriculture was developed. I'm all for making sure we aren't poisoned but the gmo scare mongering is out of control.
