I watched a new movie today...... it is free on line for a few more days.... and I learned some valuable things.

I highly recommend this film. I had some ideas about GMO foods, Roundup and organic foods that were wrong. I think we would all like to have our bodies feel better.

take the time to watch, you won't regret it

what their agenda is. They should make a condensed version.

There is a 3 minute trailer. Their agenda is education about these things and your health.

I got 90% of what I needed to know from the trailer. The movie started
off rather boring and did not entice me to spend a lot of time.

I'm not in favor of GMO but do not go crazy to get organic. People
often chide Bruce about his ingredient lists, but he is right. We don't
need a lot of that crap and we avoid it.

Have you heard of the Feingold Diet? Very similar to avoid
preservatives and artificial colors. Made quite a difference in my
son's behavior as a child. especially red food coloring, you could pick
him off the ceiling.

Yes, you'd expect people to bit a little more critical in RFC of all
places. But most people here are happy to consume anything the food
industry concocts. And if you're not, you're alarmist. It's not a very

Here is the lowdown I dont care what the video says...

GMO's are still in its infancy and there are really no solid results
on effects in the human body.

Organics is a complete scam, Sure they are a little healthier as in
more vitamins maybe and perhaps a little cleaner. But the little bit
is so little it is hardly even noticeable

  Well , sorta . Their message is that GMO's are bad . But not
(necessarily) because they're GMO's . Mostly because they're doused with
Roundup , which is BadShit in my book . My wife's digestive problems all
started around the time Roundup came into widespread use . Some plants ,
it IS because of GMO genetics - some of them have Bacillus Thurigensis
genes which produce a toxin that kills predator insects . That shit
ain't good for humans either . Ed , IMO it's worth at least a cursory
watch . Play it while you're cooking dinner or something . IMO there's
enough evidence that the stuff should be yanked from the market , but
the money ... fattest wallet usually wins in these cases .
  Side note - because they often use Roundup to desiccate wheat just
before harvest I use a premium flour to bake all our bread products .
Non- GMO and Roundup-free . This year I'm growing some corn out in the
garden as a test . We'll see if home grown without Roundup causes her
intestinal distress like commercial products do .

What's your evidence for that? People inoculate their soil with
BT all the time. It's a common insecticide for organic gardening
and farming.

I just saw that. Looks good but... Not sure I can believe it. Plus we can't
be sure that the organic stuff we buy is free of Round Up. Sure, the farmer
might use organic soil and not use any chemicals but stuff is in the air and
water. There are signs around here that they are spraying chemicals. People
complain because the helicopters start at 6:00 a.m. No clue what they are
spraying. Just says chemicals.

Do you really think that rice and beans are sprayed with Round Up after
harvest? I hope not! I can get organic rice for not a lot more money but
organic beans are usually expensive.

Also, they were somewhat vague on the diet. Told us what not to eat. But
what about butter, cheese, meat? I've done an organic, plant based diet. My
stomach couldn't handle all that fiber.

It was still a good movie though and I'm not a movie person.

Yes. Often recommended for autistic kids. Had a neighbor whose little boy
couldn't have red food coloring. She had a picnic every 4th of July. I
remember her son suddenly acting like he was shot out of a cannon. A well
meaning party goer had given the box some fruity drink with red coloring in
it. He was quite easy going when he stuck to the diet.

I am always horrified to see what some people in my life buy at the store.
They never question ingredients and make broad sweeping statements like,
"But I thought cereal was good for you!" Ack. Nope. If I don't make it from
scratch, I always read the ingredients. I just did a cupboard clean out and
will be taking some stuff to my friend. Mostly Asian type sauces that I'd
never eat but my gardener was until he learned what was in them. My friend
eats very little in the way of what I'd call healthy, but refuses to believe
that her diet might be at least partially to blame.

When used in the soil or sprayed on the plant the toxins are produced
INSIDE THE TARGET INSECT'S BODY and that's where they stay . When those
genes are spliced into a crop plant the toxin is produced by the plant ,
and ingested by us . Simple enough to understand IMO .

  One of the problems with organics is that they don't always have the
"eye appeal" and perfect appearance of chemical-doused produce . We can
and do use some chemicals in the garden , mostly anti-fungals and Bt .
Most hard shell insects are controlled by DE , we use nothing "systemic"
and nothing that can't be rinsed off . And we only use those products
when absolutely necessary , not as a preventive measure . When the
garden plants have gotten bigger I plan to make a "tunnel" of chicken
wire to let the hens get to the garden to assist with insect control .
The roosters are doing a pretty good job with the area around the house
since the hens (I counted the votes) elected to evict them from the pen .

Maybe. That is a broad statement. What about insects in the home?
Termites? Ants? Should we never use a poison? How do you feel about
rats?

History Channel has a series about Farmers. I only saw one episode and
found it interesting. One farmer planted organic alfalfa. Lost the
entire crop because it had more weeds than alfalfa in the harvest.

I'm sure there is over use and mis use of insecticides and fertilizer.
Organic farming is getting better as more farmers find alternatives too.
Consumers have to learn that produce does not have to look pretty to
taste good.

Is Roundup safe? Don't know. The guy that got cancer and big bucks used
tons of it. Many chemicals can do that bot can be safe. Most of us have
little exposure but I'm not qualified to say how much, if any, is OK.

Ed, I also have watched episodes of "American Farm." I think it is really gutsy of
The man with the daughter as a paid employee to grow so much Produce in Alaska..
...a sparsely populated state in the firstplace...without finding out what kind of a market
there would be. Last episode, his daughter approached a former employer who was a
chef of a restaurant to check out if he would be a buyer. Even the best Alaskan restaurant
wouldn't have enough volume, seems to me, to be able to buy a lot of produce no matter
how good it was (and it looked really good quality).

Ignorance and fear of science and technology is strong these days. Nitrogen fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and GMO, allow us a food supply that would not be possible in the past. People fear the science of food but they should consider the alternative - starvation.

yeah well you take an organic apple and a non organic apple that has
been washed with soap and water and what do you know you will have a
couple of identical apples, except you would have saved about a dollar
with the non organic.

Ed, that Alaskan farmer has large produce crops under huge plastic-roofed greenhouses,
in addition to some rows and rows and rows outside. He was harvesting carrots this
past week, from one of the outdoor fields.

The other quirky family is the dairy-farming one. All four adult men (father and sons)
have full beards, and the sons seem to be so socially awkward it is uncomfortable to
watch. They were installing a milk processing facility ($600,000 cost) and getting an
extension of time to start paying back their loan. We have yet to see any of the women
in their lives...but the men remind me of a Fundamentalist group in manner and
dress. I think it is odd that they were still willing to be on camera...probably were
getting some payment per episode.

Being born in 1950, I started school in 1955. I had had chickenpox,
mumps and measles as an infant and was lucky not to have suffered any
long term effects. Others were no so lucky. We had a number of kids in
our school who had to wear leg braces due to partial paralysis resulting
from having contracted polio. They were pretty dorky looking. Think of
Forrest Gump, but without the miraculous recovery. Never mind the social
effects of being a gimp in the 50s, the suffered the effects for thea
rest of their lives. Even the mildest cases came back decades later and
caused mobility problems.

Those were the older kids. My contemporaries were lucky. We had vaccine
in the primary grades, and I don't know of a single child from the those
lower grades who ever got polio. Vaccinations have also reduced the
incidence of lockjaw, rabies, smallpox, measles, mumps and other serious
and other communicable disease.

Upon what evidence are you basing your statement? Point me to studies
that have been conducted about ingestion of glyphosates?

>The

Why would pharmas generally be interested in this? Monsanto has been
the largest producer and it was very recently bought out by Bayer, but
that is the crop science division of Bayer.

What does the gut biome of bees have to do with humans?


>Did you know that it

Um, that was because of anti-protozoa activity and never pursued in
any way one would think of antibiotics an humans.

>Remember how a round of
>antibiotics tore up your digestion ?

Well, that is the way any antibiotic works - it'll likely kill off
some good bacteria, too, while making sure that raging infection it's
there to fight off doesn't make you explode as a bag of pus. Remember
how people can drop dead from bacterial infections?

>Well , glyphosate does the same

WTF are you talking about? "Continuous"? What is continuous?

I think what you do is hang around fruitcake websites and spout their
bullshit other places online. Put up or shut up.

Wash all your fruits and vegetables. According to the CSE, washing
them with 2% of salt water will remove most of the contact pesticide
residues that normally appear on the surface of the vegetables and
fruits. Almost 75 to 80 percent of pesticide residues are removed by
cold water washing.

google it.
