Hype is real, bruh. These cotton candy grapes are the truth....

I don't get how so many people are having a hard time grasping this concept in here.

There's kind of a big difference between mating two things in order to get a better product, and just straight up going into the DNA of that product and altering it yourself.

Similar to having two attractive people make an attractive baby, compared to altering the baby's DNA inside the womb to have a "designer" baby.

Not that I really care, I'm not anti-GMO or anything, but they are pretty different.

mating two things is "altering the DNA by another" name, it's the same thing. The result is the same.

People argue about designer babies as an ethical quadry, not a health and saftey one so that comparison doesn't make sense.

I see what you mean, I think the problem is that the mix isn't between a grape and cotton candy.
It's two types of grapes that happen to produce a cotton candy-ish flavor when they are bred.

that mix of genes would never occur naturally in the wild, it only exists because of human intervention. Becuase of sceince and technlogoy, just becuase the technology is slightly different, the result is the same. GMO foods are no more dangerous than ANY OTHER TYPE OF FOOD BECUASE ALL FOOR HAS BEEN GENETICALLY MODIFIED.


It's a straight up HUSTLE.

I'm comparing the process, not the ethics behind the two. That's a whole different discussion, and one that I prefer not to get into.

A man from one country mating with a woman from a country on the other side of the world would never have occurred naturally either, but thanks to science and technology we created cars, and trains, and planes, and boats. Those two mating is in no way the same as altering the DNA of an unborn child in order to make them more preferable.

We're discussing two different things, I'm saying the process is different. You're saying the results are the same. That's fine.

Some people are willing to pay more for a process they deem ethical. Others, such as I, and maybe yourself, don't really care.
 
Why are GMOs banned in Europe?

Why are they legal here but Monsanto still fought tooth and nail against GMO labeling? Like we're not even allowed to read 3 letters on a label.

That's weird to me.
 
Yall cats are disgusting :smh:
Yall really eat pizza hut? :smh: :smh: :smh:

That's just as bad as White Castle
 
tried one tonight and it was ok, i didnt reach for another...its seems like an acquired taste, like beer

1. GMO's are not banned in europe they have a board that reviews each product on a case by case basis.

2. Becuase applying an arbitrary label to a product will deem that porduct as dangerous to the eyes of consumers, most of whom are ignorant or easily led astry by psuedo sceince.

This stuff really bugs me; GMO's offer a real pathway to developing sustainable food sources in drought prone areas in africa. I mean we might be able to end world hunger but rich oligarchs in developed nationas protest against it.

When greenpeace was protesting golden rice I understood this anti GMO reactionary bull is a scourge upon society.

The GMOs you are talking about are different than the cotton candy grapes under discussion.

To show the difference:

- cotton candy grapes = cross-breeding (probably) several different strains of grapes over several years. example: Year 1: Grape A x Grape B = Grape C (1000 offspring). Grape Y x Grape Z = Grape X (1000 offspring). Year 2: Grapes C and X are narrowed down to 100 selected plants in each group that will breed best for cotton candy flavor. Cross breed the remaining Grape C (100) x Grape X (100) = Grape CX.....etc.

- GMO grapes = scientists insert a foreign protein (from an unrelated species ). Such as fruits injected with fish genes to protect from freeze damage.

I sincerely believe GMOs should play an important role. Helping feed developing countries is a novel idea but teaching them better substance practices will give them a more positive long-term solution than relying on GMO seeds. I believe GMO crops are best suited for biofuel or bio-recycling industries, but I understand the implications if we removed them completely from our food system.
 
Don't most GMO crops go to feed livestock? You don't honestly believe Monsanto wants to end world hunger, do you? Most of the crops grown in impoverished countries are being exported rather than feeding their people.

obviously. Im well aware of how the difference in process.

My point is people concerned about GMO's are mostly concerned about their arbitrary valuations of what is :natural" and isn't "natural", im saying neither is natural.

and as I've posted multiple times (with almost no response) Scientists have found instances of gene transfer occurring naturally in the wild.

Any Sweet potato we eat is essentially a natural GMO and we've been eating it for thousands of years.

You look at something like golden rice, which had the potential to help solve vitamin a deficiency in young children in the developing world.

I think better yeilds, more drought resistance is going to be more powerful, than anything offered by anti-GMO activists.
 
One of the best fruits not tasting like itself?

I'm straight on that, kinfolk....
 
Yes Monsanto cares about ending global hunger.

Some of y'all are straight up morons. Loud ones at that.

Your right in that it's not simply a supply problem, many places in africa can produce food, a lot of it is an infastructure/supply chain problem. Large amount of food is lost just in transport,

some my family supply grocery stores in nigeria, one of the richest courntries in africa and so much of the problems lie in getting the food to the people.

but increasing supply and yeild can benefit farmers, even for export, it can increase buying power.


also GMO's aren;t only produced by companies like monsanto, countires in africa like uganda are producing GMO crops, and distributing the seeds freely to farmers to produce food not to export but to rudece the countries reliance on expensive imported food.

Yeah because Monsonto is the only people who produce GMO's. :rolleyes


Some of you guys need to get a grip, you use a Monsanto buzz word like it's Lex Luthor is the CEO.

This isn't a ******* superhero movie.
 
The ABSOLUTE last thing Nigeria needs is GMO food.

Neo-Imperialistic economic practices designed to limit their exporting power and destabilize their internal food prices...mixed with poor infrastructure and corruption is their problem.

GMOs, the new magic pill to save Africa.

Disgusting.
