Walmart of the seed world! Buy out the small companies till only their company exist
WAAA, WAAA, WAAA--hijacked!! I want my question answered!! ...please?ducks4you said:hoodat, since you and boggybranch are our official librarians, do you KNOW how virulent are the lab-created genes in these altered vegetables?
I want to be clear: I KNOW that they will cross-pollinate with any other flowers, heirloom or hybred, BUT, are they strong enough to affect other generations, like the genes traditionally bred into animals are strong enough to consistantly produce the same traits?
I want to know if they will stay on my property and breed traits if introduced by me or my neighbors?
OR, are these genes like "Dolly the Sheep" whose cloned genes turned out to old, like the donor, so cloning has turned out to be a poor way to replicate same.
Any studies or online articles on this?
Remember how they were created. The original genetic makeup was drastically altered. Parts were snipped out and others pasted in (in a manner of speaking). It might hold up for a generation or two but I think nature will try to correct the problem, in which case who knows what the results may be ten generations down the road?ducks4you said:WAAA, WAAA, WAAA--hijacked!!

I completely understand a company wanting to protect it's intellectual rights, but I completely agree with this point. They are definitely out for more than just protecting their genetic material.hoodat said:It isn't just seeds. Monsanto will not be happy till every penny of profit in seed, insecticide, herbicide, fertilizer and even the food in the supermarket belongs to them. In their view a perfect world would be one where the choice is deal with Monsanto or starve.
Apparently GMO plants are escaping and crossing with wild plants, passing the traits on to other generations. Here is an interesting article on the subject. Notice how Monsanto is trying to appear accomodating while actually trying to escape resposibility for what these crosses may develop into. Ironically one of these canola/mustard crosses seems to be developing into a weed that is immune to the very weed killers Monsanto sells. Ah brave new world.hoodat said:Remember how they were created. The original genetic makeup was drastically altered. Parts were snipped out and others pasted in (in a manner of speaking).

You weren't supposed to notice. Now they have to kill you. RUN HOODAT!!!!Monsanto will not be happy till every penny of profit in seed, insecticide, herbicide, fertilizer and even the food in the supermarket belongs to them.
