Okay well eat them right up. My bet is someone got threatened, paid off or both. If you are interested in truth, then why don't you ask what is in the GMO? Answer: Glyphosate What is Glyphosate it's another word of Round Up. You know, the round up you put in your lawn to kill weeds and grass. So enjoy the taste....

Not being enlightened, I just love spraying gallons of it all day during the spring, summer and fall - pay is good too.

What is Glyphosate


OK buddy, lets get real, you have some choices.

1) Use of chemical for weed control so you have abundant cheap food

2) import many more immigrants to pull weeds and they are going to shit on your tomatoes and carrots.

3) A food shortage.

Which do you want? Notice I say want, not what you don’t want. Managing for what you don’t want gets you nowhere.

Roundup ready means resistant to roundup not containing it.

“My bet is someone got threatened, paid off or both.”

Right... the entire scientific establishment has either been threatened or paid off to suppress this. That’s not paranoid at all.

“If you are interested in truth, then why don’t you ask what is in the GMO? Answer: Glyphosate”

Are you serious? Do you not understand that GMO means “genetically modified”? The only difference is in the genes, which make the organism more resistance to the pesticide glyphosate. The organism itself is not modified with glyphosate.

“So enjoy the taste....”

I suppose you think that non-GMO foods are normally pesticide free too?

Stop drinking glyphosate, it's making you stupid.

I think you are confused about what genetic modification is.

Glyphosate resistance in some grains and beans is only one type of genetic modification. Others have nothing to do with glyphosate, such as the introduction of vitamin A into rice, and I suspect, the change in the apples.

Apples turn brown because of an enzyme that attacks the phenols and causes them to react with other chemicals in the apple. Putting a mild acid, like lemon juice, on cut apples reduces the effect of the enzyme. I suspect that the genetic modification here is to either decrease the effectiveness of the enzyme, or decrease the amount of phenols present(which might be a good thing, by the way).
