GMO OMG

I just saw this documentary, and I am fully depressed. It's about gmo's and what we doing to the world, and our bodies. Worth watching and also talking about it.

I really want to see it but it is not showing anywhere near me - not even anywhere in my state yet.

I avoid GMOs as much as I can but I'm sure some sneak in.

Genetically modified organism. ""They"" alter our food for the sake of producing more which results in higher profits.

VCamp, GMOs also alter the genetics to make produce that are resistant to pests (result: no pesticides), last longer after harvesting (longer shelf life at home), produce lower fat in animals, produce animals that are resistant to viruses and bacteria, and produce fruits without seeds (the seedless grapes and watermelons we all love).

I'm not saying I'm pro-GMO, but that's the other side of the coin.

Not too long ago, there was a virus that wiped out the impatien plant population. The GMO impatien plants brought back their popularity.

Food for thought: were they supposed to be wiped out by Mother Nature? Did our scientists and engineers interfere with that?
