Commentary: Kissing GMOs goodbye
Part of the problem surrounding the failure of the food-buying public to understand genetic engineering is the previously mentioned sea of information upon which we all travel daily. There's just so little time—or cognitive reserves—to dig down into technical or scientific topics for a deeper understanding or a more reasoned perspective of what are complex, nuanced controversies.
But an equally critical factor is the terminology itself. For everyone who grows genetically engineered crops, who feeds livestock with those crops or who is involved in processing and marketing food products using ingredients from those plants, it's time to stop using the term "GMOs"—now and forever.
GMOs aren't entities, or "creatures," as so many people imagine. GMOs don't' "make their way" into foods, and they don't exist as living organisms in the environment, the way pathogenic bacteria like E. coli or salmonella do.
It's past time for industry to collectively refer to "biotechnology" as a legitimate scientific endeavor that has many, many applications other than food crops, such as in medicine and manufacturing, that the majority of Americans do not want to abandon. And for the improved strains of crops developed with biotechnology, it's time to refer to "genetic modification" as a process, not a pathogen.
There will always be plenty of anti-industry operatives who will continue to savagely attack biotech, as if the scientific applications it has spawned are some sort of plague on humanity.
But those involved in animal agriculture and food production need to stop enabling them by getting sucked into the game of using the term GMOs.
They want to ban the science altogether.
I think we only need to ban the label.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Dan Murphy, a veteran food-industry journalist and commentator.

GMO's are a contaminant. They are a mutated gene in a dna sequence that is there even after the organism the gene was in has died. People don't want this mutated gene in their food because of the serious health consequences that come along with mutated dna. Get with the program and just feed your pigs grass like God intended.
I assume you don't use a car but instead walk every where you go, as God intended.
I agree, lets call them what they are - Petro-chemical Industrial Agriculture whose failures are trying to be resolved through Transgenic laboratory modification of common foodstuffs which have supported humanity for thousands of years prior to Industrial Farming. The entire model is unsustainable, environmentally degrading, and unethical. I refuse to offer any financial support to those who encourage this failed system: from the Bio-tech industry, it's corporate farmers, to the corporate food giants who peddle this inferior 'food like product' to the masses they try so hard to continue to keep in the dark about the state of their food supply.
Daniel, do really think pigs are herbivores? You have to be more educated than to think that.
I believe we should go back to farming practices of 1960 when the world population was 3 billion. At today's 7 billion population, I'm sure that will work just fine. Hogs aren't ruminants and don't utilize grass.
With over 70% of the US population taking some sort of prescription drug we have a problem somewhere. WE are NOT a healthy people, instead of masking and treating symptoms we need to find the root cause - it's either the food or the water as those two things we all consume. Most of these health problems have started since the 70's and 80's just when highly processed foods became the norm. Now with health problem accelerating it is time to figure this out and let the chips fall where they fall. If it's gmo's then so be it. We need independent testing not company that is selling the product or government testing as the government simply cannot be trusted. Personally I have stopped buying High Fructose Corn Syrup products and do my best to avoid gmo's - I am one of the 30% that take nothing- 54 YO Male. Last time I was injured and went to hospital the nurses thought I was lying when I said I take no meds.
what a disingenuous article. there is a lot of ignorance about agriculture and science in this country, but I haven't ever come across anybody who thinks GMO = some kind of creature or organism like an illness-producing bacteria. if you want to educate people about your technology be honest about it and explain things. and in fairness you need to listen to peoples' legitimate concerns and even their irrational fears. the real questions to me are: just because we CAN do something, does that mean we should? can we produce large quantities of relatively healthy food in a mostly sustainable way without doing things that alarm and frighten our customers? do we care enough about them to listen? and always: who stands to gain the most from what we are thinking about doing to our environment/agricultural systems? is it the consumer? the producers? or is it a few large corporations that are gaining a stranglehold on the world's food supplies? should we begin to think about what that really means?
And that is supposed to make the poisoning of the world ok? Because we drive cars? The data and research, world-wide, is overwhelming: farmers and the chemical giants have traded our health and our lives for their "piece of the pie." You don't want to agree? One simple reason: you are also profiting from the destruction of the lives of billions. Nice work murderer.
Amen AZ rancher, preach on!!
Martin, I agree with your point about the poor health of Americans. Let me suggest that it is not the food that is available to us, but rather the unhealthy choices we make and our failure to exercise. The greatest disservice that the Baby Boomer generation, of which I am a member, has done is to create an attitude that every problem is someone else's fault.
3 Cheers for avatar! Thanks for heaping righteous scorn and ridicule on the idiocy of these reasoning-free accolytes of the Luddite-Left Gaia Cult. You've properly chosen to address them as they are, rather than wasting your time trying to teach the willfully ignorant, i.e., those who refuse to learn. Again, good for you avatar & keep up the fine work!
Genetically modified crops which are treated with glyphosate, can be critically short of crucial minerals like iron, maganese, zinc, and copper. Glyphosate chelates a number of important minerals when it is applied to crops and soils, making those minerals unavailable for crops, and unavailable in the animals who are raised eating those crops, and unavailable for the humans eating those animals. Mineral-deficient foods for humans create health issues also, such as arthritis, heart problems, brain deficiencies, and reproduction problems like infertility. People want food that nourishes them, that keeps them and their livestock in good health. Crops that are deficient in crucial minerals do neither. We need to LABEL our foods, and allow the market to decide which type of crops they want. Genetically modified, poison treated crops, or clean crops that have a high nutrient density for healthy plants, livestock, and humans-- which foods would you choose? If genetically modified crops are no different than open pollinated crops, why are the creators of GMO crops lobbying so hard to have the information about the identity of plant ingredients hidden from the public??
It is so convenient for people to have a 'bogey-man- to blame or all health ills. That saves them from admitting the part that themselves choosing poorly in what they ingest, whether it's excess food, alcohol, 'recreational' drugs, sugary sodas, even too many 'healthful' treats. Or ignore the facts that what we do, or do not do, in the area of necessary exercise, care to avoid dangerous sports without proper training, and life style choices which can cause illnesses can have a great impact on our health. It is just so simple and comforting to have 'evil' corporations, scientists, rich people, and more to blame for our ills, rather than taking any personal responsiblity for our lives.
Mr. Smith swine are omnivores and have a digestive system very similar to humans. I am sure you know how eating grass would go for you and shows how well most people really know about what they are eating. They are just repeating what they heard from someone else that sounds reasonably true. Do we need to be diligently careful with the biotechnology that is developed and put into production? Of course! But crops have been modified for over a century now. Anytime you cross a plant with another plant even of the same species you are changing the genetic makeup and producing a new line of plants. All biotechnology does is allow us to speed up this process by choosing desired traits verses taking decades to achieve the same results. Biotechnology is no different then when penicillin and different vaccines were developed people had the same feelings. But today are very accepted by most. If you lived in in any third world country and were starving and biotech crops enabled you to produce food on submarginal dry land then I think you would have a completely different view of them. This is why Bill and Melinda Gates and some Mexican billionaire tycoon are opening a research center exclusively for the development of new biotech crops in Mexico. Biotechnology will continue to have many adversaries but will continue to grow in popularity like many controversial things over the years. The benefits are endless.
Dan, you lost your credibility on your fixation on Climate Change. How can you be trusted as a reasonable guy on a subject where our health is concerned?
MC: I agree with you about the swine comment. Your comparing and leading the readers to believe they are the same thing is ludicrous and simply NOT TRUE. Genetic modification and natural crossbreeding for specific traits are TOTALLY DIFFERENT. At least be truthful when you post a comment.
What does it matter how you get there if the end result is the same. Roundup and such crops could be produced by crossbreeding but would take significantly more time.
Jenny- Please read the following report: Glyphosate Effects on Plant Mineral Nutrition, Crop Rhizosphere Microbiota, and Plant Disease in Glyphosate-Resistant Crops. It explains why you incorrect about your assumption and goes very far in depth especially on the chemistry. Our cereal grain crops (wheat, rice, barley, oats) are also self-pollinated not open pollinated, that really not applies to corn and sorghum.
The 70% figure is in one county not across the US. I also don't use meds and no one in my immediate family except for my mother and grandmother. On June 19, 2013, a Mayo Clinic study found that roughly 70% of the U.S. population takes some kind of prescription drug. This figure was estimated based on a study of drug prescription records from Olmsted County, Minnesota during the year 2009. Investigators were interested in calculating prescription rates due to recent increases in prescription drug use and medication-related hospitalizations in the United States. The findings were published online in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings. There were 142,377 patients included in the analysis, 68.1% of which were prescribed at least 1 drug. Researchers noted that 51.6% of patients were prescribed 2 or more drugs, and 21.2% of individuals were prescribed 5 or more drugs. The study found a higher percentage of females received at least 1 prescription medication compared to males (72.5% vs 63.2%, respectively), though gender of patients was roughly even in the sample overall. Antibiotics were the most commonly prescribed medications in the study (17%), followed by antidepressants (13%), opioid analgesics (12%), lipid-lowering agents (11%), and vaccines or toxoids (11%). Investigators noted rates of drug prescriptions varied by sex and age, and that older patients and female patients were prescribed more medications than other groups.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling.......oh, wait, that was discredited long ago! Does anyone fail to understand that many more medications are prescribed today due simply to the fact that the same old illnesses did not have medications available in years past? Who ever heard of taking medications for Rosacea, or knew that many people even had it not many years ago. It was just considered a nuisance some people suffered through. Now, my husband uses two prescriptions for it. Nor, were we treated for slightly high blood pressure not many years ago. And this could go on and on. Fact is, we do live longer, and my guess is it would be MUCH longer if so many were not abusing alcohol, sugar, illegal recreational drugs, and spending too much time on their computers when they should be getting some exercise! It is so easy, and for some folks, so much fun, for others, it makes them feel self-rightous, to 'warn' others of the dangers of traditionally produced foods. Luddites do exist even today, so many years after they began their fearmongering!

Rollin Colons
Hi, wecome to the ROLLIN COLONS Team Page. My name is Lori Weston and I am the team captian of our fantastic team Rollin Colons, We're psyched to be participating in the Underwear Affair for the second year in a row!!! I feel extremely blessed to be running with such great friends and family, because we all want to raise a lot of money to fight cancers below the waist! We are hoping to raise awareness and a lot of money for this devastating disease. Most all of us have a friend or family member that is affected by this disease. This year my heart is running for so many...Most recently (Feb 2011) my grandmother passed away as a result of cancer, and my good friend and fellow rollin colon team member, Keri's father passed from cancer (Jan 2011). To add to this, my mother in law recently won a battle with breast cancer and my father in law is currently fighting prostate cancer. It really seems this disease has no boundries...Two years ago I faced a personal challenge of my own...At age 30, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I consider myself blessed in that I was one of the very fortunate to have been diagnosed at such an early stage and am now motivated to put an end to this disease. Cancer has no boundries and its time to kick it to the curb!!! "The Underwear Affair" creates awareness, and raises money for the embarrassing cancers that we don't talk about....The cancers below the belt. This is why we uncover ourselves, strip down to our underwear to uncover the cure. WOOHOO! STRIP?!?! this event was totally designed for this team!!!!
Thanks in advance for all of your support!!!
Support Rollin Colons!
Rollin Colons 2010
Welcome to our Underwear Affair Team Page!We're psyched to be participating in the Underwear Affair as a group because we all want to raise a lot of money to fight cancers like prostate, colon, and ovarian, among others. BC Cancer Foundation's Underwear Affair®, is a 10K Run / 5K Walk to uncover cures for cancers below the waist. We'll be the team dressed in costume among thousands of other people gathered on the streets of Vancouver for one great night this summer. It will be the biggest Affair this town has ever seen!It's about giving these devastating cancers some exposure and shedding some light on their cures. So please help us in our efforts to raise money for care and research for cancers "down there!" What can you do about it? Don't be shy - you can either donate to one of us, or you can join us! We'd love to have you as a team member the more the merrier!Thanks for your support!

Hi AT, I only see one international submission for all of week 4...Did you have to cut back in this category? I submitted from Canada, and really thought my place could make the website...(I tried last year, too)
Thanks for all you guys do- I've enjoyed perusing this entries. At the very least, I'm happy that my little nest had something to strive for :) xox
Laurakins - I feel your pain. I'm a fellow Canuck who has entered twice and never been posted. Totally bummed out :(
That being said, there have been some fantastic entries this year. Good luck to those who did make it!
Hey guys, when did you submit your entries? I sent mine on the last day.
I submitted on the 15th - which being a Sunday I guess would really be the morning of the 16th.
Last year I submitted on the last day, very late Pacific Strandard Time (silly!), so this year I sent mine in more safely on the 16th... I have no doubt that the AT team has to sift through a lot of ...well...you know. The main thing is, my apartment is now looking better than ever, so that consoles me :)
@ Laurakins - Yes, it was a great motivator for me too. LOL!

I love my Rytera Nemesis in all Carbon but I have the itch to have her dipped. For some reason I'm really stuck on ASAT. I was gonna have the entire bow done in ASAT but the Nemesis riser has a lot of cut out's and might not show the ASAT camo very well. So I'm thinking about having the Riser done in federal brown CERAKOTE, matte finish and have the limbs dipped in ASAT Camo. I've already contacted the Dipper and I'll be sending it out sometime next month. The strings will be a similar color too. this is my bow for hunting.
Here's a sample of the colors.

There was a WWII movie that I can't remember the name but it was about the Germans building a fake American military hospital complex and then capturing an American intelligence officer, making him believe the war had been over for several years and he had been in a coma. They tried to get him to talk about the American invasion plan but after a few days he realized that the cut on his finger was from a paper cut he had gotten in his office previously and then knew he was being fooled.
Does anyone remember the name?
