GMO labeling can help consumers make decisions about which products to purchase, or can simply tell consumers what types of ingredients are in the food they buy. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) requires that food manufacturers begin labeling for GMOs.U.S. consumers will see labels on food products that contain genetically modified ingredients as early as 2020.
The guidelines allow disclosure of bioengineered ingredients in.(For reasons discussed in more detail later in this guidance, FDA does not use the terms “genetically modified” or “genetically modified organism” (GMO) when referring to foods derived.In its final GMO labeling rule released this morning the USDA says it will not mandate the labeling of highly refined ingredients from GM crops if no ‘modified genetic material’ is detectabl.The United States Department of Agriculture has proposed new guidelines for labeling foods that contain genetically modified ingredients. Food makers will be required by federal law to use the.
Labeling food that has GMO ingredients has become a very controversial and heated topic in todays society. Especially with more people wanting to go organic and wanting to be more careful about what they eat. GMO labeling could lead to many pros and cons so figuring out what the best choice is for both consumers and producers is very hard.Voluntary Labeling Indicating Whether Foods Have or Have Not Been Derived “genetically modified organism” (GMO) when referring to foods derived from genetically if those ingredients.
Major food corporations and agribusiness companies spent a combined $67 million to defeat ballot referendums in California and Washington on the labeling of genetically engineered (GE) foods (also.This law, which you may have heard called the DARK Act, is the start of mandatory GMO labeling in the United States. It means that some—but not all—products containing GMOs will have to be labeled by 2022. In its current form, categorical exemptions prevent this law from delivering the meaningful protections Americans deserve.
Learn more. Which foods might contain GMOs?Yet, as of January 2022, the USDA will require food manufacturers to label all foods containing GMO ingredients. That said, the labels won’t say “GMO” but instead the term “bioengineered.Under U.S. law, companies may voluntarily label food products to inform consumers as to whether they do or do not contain ingredients from GM crops.
Genetically modified crops have been produced commercially and consumed in the U.S. since the mid-1990s. Today, the most common GM crops on the market are soybean, corn, cotton, canola, and sugar beet.We talked to thousands of consumers and learned about what they want to know about GMOs in their food, including for specific GMO ingredients to be identified on labels using simple and familiar language. Our current label statement reads: The ingredients from corn / soy / canola / sugar in this product come from genetically modified crops.Food manufacturers can use these USDA-approved labels for bioengineered crops and products that contain bioengineered ingredients.
US food manufacturers must alert US consumers to the presence of genetically modified ingredients through labels, QR.The Non-GMO Project Verified mark, when used properly by a food supplier, assures consumers that a product bearing our mark has met all of the requirements to obtain Non-GMO Project verification. 11.
Why might I see the words “modified” or “artificial” on an ingredient panel of a Non-GMO.Only products that contain detectable GMO DNA will be labeled—this is a huge problem because so many processed foods contain untestable inputs such as beet sugar and canola oil.

Note all the completely false “shill” accusations here. Ignorant people don’t have the ability to defend their anti-science stance, they just repeat lies they were fed by the organic foods cartel interests. Tossing out the shill gambit first thing is an automatic forfeit of the debate. You lose.
Design a charismatic cartoon with the illusion of choice while skillfully portraying GMO’s as a good choice. Eat it up zombies ��♂️
There hasn’t been enough research? Over 30 years of research and over 600 papers. This video is more and more cringe-worthy the more you watch it
Transgenics seems like a good thing in principle. In context of human society as of now it’s a horrible idea.. Can you imagine the specicist outcries “Tardigrade-humans arrr takin ouurr jooobs!!”
I do not understand all the fuss about GMO. If I created a restaurant chain, I would call it Burger Hut ( a crossover between Burger king and Pizza Hut) and use heavily genetically modified ingredients.
@Consumer Reports There is no difference between the GMO seed and the seed used to make the Organic produce, the only real difference is the difference the used of or not of chemicals. The other problem you and the public will have with respect to banning GMO’s is that the WTO at the UN level is responsible for GMO seeds since they dictate to the world Governments who they can export their produce to and which seeds they must us. From there it filters down to the Government to provide the seeds to the farmers. In the end whether you eat GMO or Organic you are still getting the same nutrition value, just one has all the added chemicals and other doesn’t.
With the nutrients of the soil under threat by the poisons of the mad scientist and there doom’s day menace to society GMO’s. The mother Earth is now at a cross roads with global warming. For the substance that is causing the illness or death of our planet are the living organism introduced to destroy the days of our lives. Never have the American people faced such a foe, with the military complex blood thirst for endless war’s the American People has been under Siege by the enemy within.
All crops are GMOs. If it was selectively bred it’s a gmo…. that includes all organic food.
Button up your blouse evil woman! You are one of the many reasons we are plagued with GMOs!
Move to Chile. Our foods are all natural. Meat has nit been fed hormones, they dont use insecticides. Everything is soooo good!
gmos have been around for a very, very long time, and it’s not all harmful
Since you state that almost all processed food has GMO ingredients, it’s a wonder we are still alive. Love all the citations you provided as well!
What about the fact that GMO’s have been entirely wiped out by unforeseen diseases?
can I engineer a popcorn kernel plant with iceberg lettuce to get green and crunchier popcorn
Wow! One more person that does look at evidence! Keep it up!
If you are an American and don’t realize what a horrible things have happened to our populations health you must be living in a bubble of fantasy. Cancer ratess at almost 50% for both man and woman, austism and other autoimune diseases now more than 1 in 50. I guess when no one lives over 50 and you can no longer have healthy children will you want to do something. Do your research and deside for yourself. The Goverment and Food Co. may think your an idiot who will do as there told buy I don’t.
Was anyone else surprised or disgusted about the milk one ����
Wait….cows are injected with RBGH? The US cows have Ruth Bader Ginsburg hormones in them???
You talk so slow. Me too doe. You make me feel better �� thank you for da video ��
Wait, but if all the plants became GMO wouldn’t the pests evolve to eat then?
if i eat GMO foods, I will be able to know in a couple of days. Because my skin is very sensitive to GMO foods, GMO foods cause inflammation around my belly. If I have this symptom, I take Voltaren pill. I happened to get to know this. I never eat USA product corn, peanut, and soybean. Especially GMO corns are the worst one.
We can say a lot about Russia. But Russia don’t allow the big compagnies to poison it’s own people on such a scale! Isn’t the American government more dangerous towards its own people than IS will ever be???? America claims to be so superb but police can shoot innocent people and they get away with it by law, there are so many poor people living on the streets being completely ignored by their fellow Americans. American governments write their laws in favor of big compagnies who are paying big money so they can legally poison all Americans and make lots and lots and lots of money with it. Living in this great America?????? Thanks but no thanks!
I know that I am late to comment but this has helped soo much in my assignment, so thanks a lot Kurzgesagt:)

No. Nonono. this is just. False.
Terminator seeds weren’t just “stopped” ; they wreaked such havoc and started so many lawsuits from farmers unintentionally having their crops contaminated by wind blowing the terminator seeds on their normal seed farms, Monsanto and other mega corporations had to adapt. But this is just total wrong information, or, you’re paid out by someone, to say this bullshit.
I really enjoy this channel but everyone should always double check the things this channel sums up in one sentence as a part of some channel-wide stance on a topic. Very biased sometimes; hidden behind the pseudo-intellectual mood of the videos, sometimes themselves ABOUT conspiracies or, debunking things that are not yet totally debunked.
I’m not talking about flat earth or something, I’m just saying, terminator seeds didn’t just “stop being made”. I’m pretty sure they are STILL being used actually
GMOs are the evil devil released from the Pandora box and it’s against the law of Nature. It’s against the will of the creator. It will destory the earth.
This video is not accurate!! Don’t eat gmo and don’t eat foods w glyphosate
Thank God I live in Europe where GMO is banned from being sold.
Our food here really tastes different, more intense. American food always tastes watered down.
And actually it results in people here eating less food.
Quality, not quantity.
Perhaps this is the cause of Americas obesity problem?
It’s all the same to me:-) I went organic for a while, and I realized that the food spoiled quickly, there were more issues with food already gone bad when I bought it, and…I was healthier when I was not eating organic. Sure, it’s anecdotal, but I think the organic craze is a sham.
Thank goodness FDA and EPA testing of foods no longer finds dangerous levels of Atrazine, paraquat, DDT, fludioxonil, metolaclor, acephate and diazinon. Now they find minute traces of the least toxic herbicide ever formulated, glyphosate, which is 43% less toxic than table salt, and Bt, so non-toxic that organic farmers rely on it heavily. WHAT A DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT!!!! Anti-GMO idiots claim they want to go back to that nightmare list of much more toxic pesticides. Why???? I can’t imagine.
GMO’s can breed with other plants, which can give unwanted traits.
Science is a double-edged sword. GMOs is absolutely a disaster.
Good video. You could also find this post interesting. Points in favor of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Calling all KZGT subscribers and readers note I will increase my daily calling out of invasive hate trolls until this stops. KZGT fans and science respecting educated adults who hate trolls and malicious liars Join me in reporting the anti-science GMO hater troll ‘Almost but Not Entirely Unreasonable’ who is in fact mentally ill. Let’s not allow hater trolls and malicious liar stalkers to take over this venue. Whether they are Russian spammers, Greenpeace activists or organic industry operatives the result is the same. If you sort for newest and scroll down you will see just how bad this infection is. We welcome debate but not liars with ulterior motives that insult the integrity of our hard working farmers and scientists. Flag him for spam or cyber bullying and report his channel because the shitty, practically non-existent moderation scheme in G+ has no specific button for reporting stalkers or malicious trolls. KZGT works on your behalf to post the truth, don’t let trolls get away with trying to discredit the effort. To report these trolls, click on their channels, locate the flag button and report them for cyber bullying or spam or both. Copy this page’s address into the complaint form and click it.

50,000 food products with Non-GMO Project label may be “false or misleading,” FDA guidance document says “The Non-GMO label may see its ubiquitous butterfly wings trimmed, according to a new guidance document from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) aimed at promoting accurate food marketing practices. In late March 2019, the agency released a set of recommended guidelines detailing how non-GMO and GMO-derived products should be labeled in order to comply with federal law.
The update only “represents the current thinking” of the FDA on the issue and compliance with the new guidance is voluntary. But the agency identified specific kinds of information commonly found on non-GMO labels as “false or misleading,” suggesting the FDA wants food companies to rethink their marketing strategies. The clarification also may open the door to legal challenges of companies using non-GMO labels that can be seen as deceiving to consumers.
Varieties of everything from beer to breakfast cereal are marketed as non-GMO in grocery stores across the US. That includes thousands of foods that do not have a GMO version on the market, including salt, raisins and tomatoes. For the most part, those who embrace non-GMO labeling, many of them committed organic food advocates, share the same fundamental animosity toward so-called genetically engineered foods. Some, like the organic industry group Just Label It, also argue that the labels promote “transparency in our food system.” Many farmers and scientists argue just the opposite, saying that such labels promote confusion and the misleading belief that non-GMO products are safer or more nutritious than their genetically engineered counterparts.
Last fall, the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, an organization that has been rated by the University of Pennsylvania as the top science and technology think tank in the US, submitted a citizen’s petition to the FDA challenging the use of the Non-GMO Project’s logo, saying that it “deliberately deceives and misleads consumers in violation of the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.”
“They are exactly the sort of deceptive and misleading labels Congress was intent on prohibiting,” Val Giddings, a geneticist and senior fellow at the ITIF, told the GLP by email. ITIF petitioned the FDA “….to issue a regulation prohibiting the use of the term ‘Non-GMO’ on consumer foods and goods and requiring distributors to omit any ‘Non-GMO’ term or claims on their labeling.” Many products brandish various non-GMO labels, including eggs, green beans and walnuts (among many more examples), which don’t have genetically engineered equivalents on the market. Some of them, like the FDA’s example of salt, don’t contain any DNA whatsoever. Advertising a product that contains no DNA as “non-GMO” is misleading. Henry Miller, the founding director of the FDA’s Office of Biotechnology, has argued that these labels prompt “nearly half of consumers [to] avoid GMO-labeled foods.” He called on the FDA to go further and stop food companies from marketing products as non-GMO when there are no GMO equivalents available to the public.” https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2019/04/11/30000-food-products-with-non-gmo-project-label-may-be-false-or-misleading-fda-guidance-document-says/
Sure wld love ta gt some of that organic whole milk from homegirl’s utter tho! ummm
Thank you so much for this video. I’d really like to know an updated version of all the GMO foods now.
Notice how you did not say anything about why GMOs would be dangerous. That was wise on your part. The reason the FDA dower not require labeling is as you said to protect the health of the public and GMOs have never shown to be dangerous

A Pig is a Hybrid between a Hog and Human! Pork Eaters are Cannibals! ����.. Go Plant Based. ��������
I would like to see a pizza tree as mentioned in the WALL-E movie
SERIOUSLY i america they don’t write gmo is gmo on label? that’s soooo disrespectful for customers your government treat you like pigs, and rise you like one.
The way food has changed over the last 100 years has been absolutely disgusting while humans are being genetically modified. Don’t believe what these clowns say. Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC… and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT. Trans fats are so bad there being pulled off the shelfs after they been shoved down peoples throats for years.
Big Food industries like Nestle have so much power and governments will not make them label their products GMO. I just wonder if people that manage such companies are so vigor to eat their products. I don’t think so!!
If people don’t want us to use insecticides and pesticides how about they walk our 100 or more acre fields every couple of weeks and pull every single weed in 90 degree weather
It is also meaningless to label food non-GMO. Nobody checks.

The fast food giants in America find themselves in UN charted water’s/territories now, do to the American public losing patients with there restaurants GMO policy. For the American public prefer Organic or USDA. The American people exists off liberty of choice for there foods and no longer care for the reason’s the grocery Associations or the Mad scientist has for there reasons for. It has become a thorn in the back of the American public, either leave GMO’s or find yourself out of business!
quick question.
does products with the EU organic???mark(which looks like a leaf) contain GMO? i thought that in EU nations most GMO’s are banned except for some such as papaya.
So i thought products that were manufactured in EU nations, even without the “Leaf” mark, was mostly non gmo, not to mention the one s engraved with the “Leaf” mark. Am i wrong? can someone tell me if i m right or wrong,plz.
I DON’T WANT GMOs IN MY FOOD!! I am angry no one asked me if I wanted it. I am dumbfounded that we really have to have this argument. Just because you say it’s ok doesn’t mean I am ok with it. I do not want it
The reason why the FDA did not want to label GMOs is because GMOs are not a public health concern therefore its not their job
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GMO LABELING IN 2020
You may recall, in 2017 the government passed a national Genetically Modified Foods (GMO) labeling law to have one uniform standard for labeling GMOs, also referred to as BE (bioengineered).
Congress passed the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard in 2016. This required the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to establish a labeling standard for GM food. These requirements were originally set to take effect by July 2018. But the USDA extended the implementation two years after a public comment period. On December 20, the USDA released the official law, which they will implement at the beginning of 2020 and require food companies to comply by January 1, 2022. You can read the entire current proposal here.
WHAT DOES GMO LABELING MEAN FOR YOU?
In the near future, you’ll start to see GMO/BE foods labeled in a variety of ways. While companies aren’t required to use the GMO label until January 1, 2022, you might start seeing the new labels sooner. Many companies have already started labeling their products and support this national labeling standard. The rule states, “bioengineered food … shall not be treated as safer than, or not as safe as, a non-bioengineered counterpart.” That’s because research has proven that bioengineered foods are safe. These new food labels are simply informative for the consumer, not indicative of safety or nutrition.
WHAT WILL GMO LABELS LOOK LIKE?
Once put into law, you will see three different labeling methods:
Text on food packaging (example: Partially produced with genetic engineering)
A symbol that represents bioengineering
An electronic or digital link that can be scanned
Smaller food manufacturers with limited resources may also choose to label their GM foods using a telephone number that can provide additional information or an internet URL.
The law requires labeling only on bioengineered foods intended for human consumption that contain more than five percent GMO ingredients. Instances where GMOs do not have to be labeled include:
Foods derived from animals, such as eggs, meat and milk
Refined ingredients like oils and sugars
Food served in a restaurant
Foods manufactured and sold by very small manufacturers (local shops, etc.)
Any non-food products
While GMO labeling may be changing, the safety of our food isn’t. Just as before, food labels should guide to make the right choice for you and your family – not scare you into making a more expensive purchase. Farmers, parents and experts have shared their thoughts on GMOs and making the best choice for their family.” https://www.watchusgrow.org/2019/01/08/everything-you-need-to-know-about-gmo-labeling-in-2019/
There’s brand new stuff in the Kurzgesagt Merch Shop. Check it out here: shop.kurzgesagt.org
GMOs are not safe. Therefore danger for those who eat them, as a result they should not be eaten, purchased or offered for others in invitations. We need labeling that should be paid by those who produce GMO foods.
GMO are poison for our body and governments know it, inform by yourselves and keep safe, governments want to control or destroy us
Why food in the UK is such horrible… Why people buy bread with 1000 ingredients?
Okay go eat your genetically modified “science” food, and get cancer from it
The FDA are being paid off by lobbyist to protect these GMO companies. The GMO companies give millions of dollars to the lobbyist
I would eat these foods but some people are allergic to gmo’s
Total horseshit made to scare the feeble minded. repeating a load of psuedo science crap doesn’t make GMO’s dangerous. You are a total idiot if you believe any of this drivel.
The fist time I read a label that had GMO was on a cake frosting ����
If ANY company balks at listing their ingredients that should immediately put up a red flag for any intelligent human being.
Corrina, I truly miss you doing these type of videos….sitting there like my teacher, dressed so nicely crossing those shapely legs.. mmmm. Please ma’am may I have another?
Hit a lot of the areas that help me feel a little bit more ideas but the big thing I think needs to also be pointed out is whether or not a company is making non fertile genetically modified organisms GMOs and if they are they should be hit with a fine because if they can grow it somebody else should be able to grow it just to prove that it’s good for us
GMO foods are not safe which is why they are banned in 38 countries. If they were safe there would be absolutely no need to ban them.
My grandpa (may he rest in peace) “genetically engineered” a watermelon variety through selective breeding over a couple of decades. Sadly, this variety is gone, it died with him. He spent decades saving seeds from the tastiest and sweetest watermelons from his garden. The end result that I got to see and taste for myself was amazing. So juicy, so sweet, and just the right size for one person to eat. I have never before or since tasted such a delicious watermelon. It’s a great shame that the only remaining seeds he had vanished like they did. When I was a kid, I thought those watermelons were what was normal. After his passing, I found out quickly that his watermelons were perfection compared to anything else I have tried. I have given up trying to find a suitable replacement. It has been almost twenty years since his passing.
Thank you Monsanto shill, for your utterly useless contribution. Now go peddle your idiotic lies somewhere else, people have already woken up to your sickening disgusting BS, you can’t put this genie back in the bottle.
Remove Gmo’s from the junk food……….and it’s still junk food. It’s obviously not the Gmo’s. Why no studies in the description to back up what you are saying. I’m happy to read through it all.
People Strongly Against GMOs Had Shakier Understanding Of Food Science, Study Finds Jan 26, 2019 “People who most intensely oppose genetically modified food think they know a lot about food science, but they actually know the least, according to a peer-reviewed paper published in January in the journal Nature Human Behaviour.
GMOs are widely considered safe by scientists, but opponents have said they want more science on the potential harm so that subjective arguments aren’t part of the equation. However, previous surveys have shown that providing more scientific facts about GMOs to people doesn’t change their minds.
The survey, conducted by four universities, asked 2,000 people in Europe and the United States how much they knew about genetically modified food, what their opinion was and how intense it was.” Read the full coverage at: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/01/26/687852367/people-strongly-against-gmos-had-shakier-understanding-of-food-science-study-fin

I did not know zucchini is a GMO. Does that mean we should not eat it?
What a shit-show KZGT!! Did you miss the entire UN Codex on GMO during your (claimed) 600 hrs…..or did you just follow the Corporate GMO script they handed you??? Codex excerpts: Pg 3, “19. Risk management measures may include, as appropriate, food labelling8 conditions for marketing approvals and post-market monitoring.”
Pg 18, “56: Gene transfer from plants and their food products to gut micro-organisms or human
cells is considered a rare possibility because of the many complex and unlikely events that would need to occur consecutively. Nevertheless, the possibility of such events cannot be completely discounted.6”
Pg 10, “ 15: Unintended effects can result from the random insertion of DNA sequences into the
plant genome, which may cause disruption or silencing of existing genes, activation of silent genes, or modifications in the expression of existing genes. Unintended effects may also result in the formation of new or changed patterns of metabolites. For example, the expression of enzymes at high levels may give rise to secondary biochemical effects or changes in the regulation of metabolic pathways and/or altered levels of metabolites”
Pg 16. “46: ….. consideration should be given to the potential impacts on human health using conventional procedures for establishing the safety of such metabolites (e.g. procedures for assessing the human safety of chemicals in foods).” i.e. Human Safety Studies, YET: None ever.
Yeah, GMO foods sure are harmless, right? Right? Go on, show ONE scientific safety tests (just ONE) to support your unscientific ‘all clear’ finding. O N E!!
All foods you eat are GMO. We have been altering genetics of plants for thousands of years. Animals as well. Instead of manually cross pollinating which is incredibly time intensive and there is not guarantee that the cross breeding will take, it is done in the lab guaranteed. That’s it. It is the same as if your grandparents did it over time in the field but now its faster with technology. There is no boogieman here. Yes these changes can happen naturally. They do all the time. But humans have been speeding up the process to get exactly what we want. Go do a bit of research on plant history and stop listening to market hype so they make you feel better about buying their products in the grocery store. The real problem with mass market GMOs is losing the diversity of plants. We must protect against this so that if some ailment or insect begins to destroy one type of crop we can modify it with another type to protect against extinction. Example: A bug begins to attack and destroy red carrots, we modify it with another carrot strain to make it more resistant to that bug. This again has been done for thousands of years. Now we do it faster in the lab. It is like saying a person that is the result of artificial insemination, aka test tube baby, is not a real or safe human because they were helped by science. I hear what your saying, they were not genetically altered. Well, actually their parents are the ones doing this. If you take a person of asian decent, my wife, and european decent, me, and then breed them you get my children. Genetically altered humans who come from non naturally mixing blood lines to make GMO humans. Saying this does not happen in nature is just not true.
They forgot a very important drawback of GMO, its impact on the food chain. For eg BT cotton kills the bollworm who’s primary source of food is cotton. So the question now arises what will happen if the whole species dies due to starvation and it’s inability to adapt? What about the animals which rely on these bollworms for food?

What happened here? We will never know…..but you need to put this in the bin.
It is morally indefensible what you have presented so prettily. It is un-scientific to the point of being anti-scientific.
Avoid GMO at all costs. It’s destroying the health of humans, fauna and flora. It’s destroying the entire ecology. Its probably the worst disaster in entire history.
The evil people ( like Monsanto company) will be vanished in comming 2,3 years because Truth always exixts wheather we humans acknowldge it or not.
GMO scientists should get paid a lot more, they could help to multiply food during famines and whatnot, they should get founding and more attention then dumb Hollywood actors.
wheat they did have pig stem cells now its mans in your gmo foods
Calling all KZGT subscribers and readers note I will increase my daily calling out of invasive hate trolls until this stops. KZGT fans and science respecting educated adults who hate trolls and malicious liars Join me in reporting the anti-science GMO hater troll ‘Almost but Not Entirely Unreasonable’ who is in fact mentally ill.

GMO’s are perfectly fine. Morons who are against it are pushing for deaths all over the world. Golden rice can save millions of lives and morons hold it back from the people who need it.
with GMO produces no seeds so you cant replant and if the seeds get destroyed guess what no food you all starve
Cross breading is not the same as changing the DNA of a plant in a lab. GMO’s are not safe!
United hells of america is killing us little by little.. grow your own shit
This ignorant dishonest misleading video is downvoted and reported as misleading. Baby formula is not GMO, no watermelons are GMO, the new GMO potato is still rare and not widely distributed yet. This channel owner is extremely ignorant and a fucking liar who knows nothing. He does not know that refined sugars and oils are never classified as GMO foods because refining removes all traces of DNA. Our new labeling law prohibits calling refined sugars or oils GE(GMO).
So if I buy an organic version of a food with canola oil in it is that ok? is it GMO?
I used to buy macaroni and cheese for my children when they were little and it only had like maybe six or seven ingredient the most. But now it I has like 60 ingredients. Ingredients, Color number this and color number that and color number this and color number that etc, etc, etc
I remember watching this for school, and now I’m back watching it for fun after hs is over..
Totally obsolete video! The GMO safety debate ended in 2016 with release of the May 16 2016 NAS study that definitively declared and proved that GMOs are totally safe, and Obama followed up later that year with his GMO disclosure law that bans all state labeling initiatives as fear mongering by the organic foods cartel. GMO is a breeding method not present in any foods. GMO seeds grow plain old food, period. This is settled science, people. This video was pushed and sponsored by the GMO free labeling convention that charges for using their logo on food products. This is fear mongering blackmail that we all end up paying for. Citations that absolutely prove every word I posted here is fact:

This is bullshit! It shouldn’t be on the shelves!!! They cause cancer!!!!!
There have been cases of GM crop companies suing farmer’s for planting their GM crops without permission from the company. This happened because the GM crops blew from nearby fields of farmers who had permission to use GM crops. This resulted in the farmer’s having to give up their homes and fields to the company, because they can not pay back the outrageous sums of money companies sue the farmers for, resulting in the companies giving that land to their own farmers, who use their GM crops. This creates a monopoly for the companies as they sell their GM food seeds to the farmers, and if they don’t buy them… well they get sued.
Why is the duck at the beginning using its beak and not its wings? Like, they grab sticks and guns
WTF! Not enough tests have been done to determine safety?????
Shouldn’t that be the first priority?
It’s in most of the food but they don’t have to label witch ones? Are you f*cking kidding me?
The government takes your money and uses it to poison you. WTF! WTF!
F*CK!
Silk brand almond milk is a non gmo verified product, but has gellan gum and sunflower lecithin, both of which have gmos in them. So, consumer report’s srandards aren’t exactly gmo free either.
If you think that GMO’s are bad, you are very un-educated, and probably also very dumb.
This lady was paid and not only that, they use double trickery by saying it was tested in labs and showed people in lab coats testing these products. R U kidding me. I know the truth and have tested these products. They are of Satan and not safe at all. I see the trolls came out as look at the first 2 comments. Either they are trolls which I believe or just ignorant foes that need too get it.
Rubish. Gmos are disgusting. Mass production food with less cost for the masses. Thats the idea. Not healthy food. Pesticides and Gmos are two sides of the same coin. Both suck.
To the GMO defenders: This video said nothing about their safety, pro or con. There have no definitive studies proving GMOs are unsafe. However, consumer demand is driving the industrial food manufacturers away from them in the US. We’re following many other first world nations, like the EU e.g., in that regard. This is where the free market once again proves more nimble than bought and paid for bureaucracies.
Where the government continues to fail, due to the multi-billion dollar big food lobby, is to force labeling by law. Consumers have the right to know, after which, they can choose.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GMO LABELING IN 2020
You may recall, in 2017 the government passed a national Genetically Modified Foods (GMO) labeling law to have one uniform standard for labeling GMOs, also referred to as BE (bioengineered).
Congress passed the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard in 2016. This required the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to establish a labeling standard for GM food. These requirements were originally set to take effect by July 2018. But the USDA extended the implementation two years after a public comment period. On December 20, the USDA released the official law, which they will implement at the beginning of 2020 and require food companies to comply by January 1, 2022. You can read the entire current proposal here.
WHAT DOES GMO LABELING MEAN FOR YOU?
In the near future, you’ll start to see GMO/BE foods labeled in a variety of ways. While companies aren’t required to use the GMO label until January 1, 2022, you might start seeing the new labels sooner. Many companies have already started labeling their products and support this national labeling standard. The rule states, “bioengineered food … shall not be treated as safer than, or not as safe as, a non-bioengineered counterpart.” That’s because research has proven that bioengineered foods are safe. These new food labels are simply informative for the consumer, not indicative of safety or nutrition.
WHAT WILL GMO LABELS LOOK LIKE?
Once put into law, you will see three different labeling methods:
Text on food packaging (example: Partially produced with genetic engineering)
A symbol that represents bioengineering
An electronic or digital link that can be scanned
Smaller food manufacturers with limited resources may also choose to label their GM foods using a telephone number that can provide additional information or an internet URL.
The law requires labeling only on bioengineered foods intended for human consumption that contain more than five percent GMO ingredients. Instances where GMOs do not have to be labeled include:
Foods derived from animals, such as eggs, meat and milk
Refined ingredients like oils and sugars
Food served in a restaurant
Foods manufactured and sold by very small manufacturers (local shops, etc.)
Any non-food products
While GMO labeling may be changing, the safety of our food isn’t. Just as before, food labels should guide to make the right choice for you and your family – not scare you into making a more expensive purchase. Farmers, parents and experts have shared their thoughts on GMOs and making the best choice for their family.” https://www.watchusgrow.org/2019/01/08/everything-you-need-to-know-about-gmo-labeling-in-2019/
If GMO’s are no problem, as many of the corporate shills below are claiming, quoting studies bought and paid for by these companies making these foods in question, why are these companies so eager to hide the fact that they use GMOs? Why do they lobby and pay off government to hide the truth?
Oh……
Head of FDA is employee of Monsanto, Head of Commerce (Secretary of Commerce) is employee of Chase Bank, Head of Communication Internet is employee of Sprint. Secretary of Defense is the employee of Boeing. And so on USA is run by big corporations Period. Government is employee of Big corporations, its very easy to buy 500 / 700 peoples instead of whole population and control everything.
I don’t know why but my cat watched this entire video with me.
everytime i accidentally ate gmos
i got depressive thoughts n feelings
from them!
pizza rolls
peanut mms
then i looked at the label!
quit eating the poison
the depressive feelings vanished
my mom had the same phenomenon
All of this sounds lovely; in an ideal world. But I can’t stop thinking about who watches the watchers? Let me explain my point. Here in Mexico we have a big variety of domesticated varieties of corn; here’s is the craddle of corn. And these varieties are now a rock in the shoe for American and Mexican big corn corporations. And because of NAFTA; the usage of GMO here, is a big threat to these millenarium species. The problem in my sight would be; since these things are difficult to trace without technology, if those companies decide to spread GMO corn seeds that could mix witn the heritage corn, when we realized it happened, it would be too late. And what about indigenous population that is defending those varieties with their lives? Who controls this. In a nutshell, with great power comes great responsibility, but seeing what corporations and NAFTA have done to Mexico, the usage of these technology is potentially and possibly being used for big economic interests that don’t care about traditions and people.
Thank goodness FDA and EPA testing of foods no longer finds dangerous levels of Atrazine, paraquat, DDT, fludioxonil, metolaclor, acephate and diazinon. Now they find minute traces of the least toxic herbicide ever formulated, glyphosate, which is 43% less toxic than table salt, and Bt, so non-toxic that organic farmers rely on it heavily. WHAT A DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT!!!! Anti-GMO idiots claim they want to go back to that nightmare list of much more toxic pesticides. Why???? I can’t imagine.
These labels are useless.. if u see corn, soy or frankenfoods u know are destroyed the product is obviously lying.
Most of today’s congress people are prostitutes, without even the slightest semblance to the patriots of the past.
They cater to whichever donor (business) that pays the most, NOT the American people, so don’t hold your breath that any of those assholes will ever give a shit about you to do anything that may be for your betterment.
Getting contributions to keep their do-nothing job is all that matters. Frigging “TRAITORS”.
The UN Codex Alimentarius, written for the world by our USDA, is fully adhered to in all ways regarding GMO food safety.

Very good and informative video very clear and well spoken by the lady. Thank you.
As a two-time Colon Cancer survivor (without any family history), I don’t want anything that’s genetically modified in my food, especially since the long-term effects have not been determined.
Our bodies already have a hard enough time with out-of-control cells reproducing without the added pitfalls of engineered foods and the effect they have on us.
Why the government continues to allow unknowns to be produced and sold to the general public is beyond me.
Remember when almost everyone smoked cigarettes on TV, it took the government almost 50 years to put a stop to that.
Thanks for the heads-up, knowledge is power.
the monstrous evil nwo satanist controlled monsanto can and will shrove down your throat the gmo Frankenstein food, anytime.
I have to assume that people who don’t cite their sources have something to hide. I agree with the premise of full transparency. But you failed to make a good case for why we shouldn’t eat GMO.
Looking at some of the replies in the comment section, Monsanto is he there hypnotizing people or spending some of that cash and create and sock accounts. ��
STOP WARRING AGAINST NATURE
WHERE IS YOUR COMMON SENSE!!!
YOU SOLD YOUR SOUL
WHERE ARE YOUR MORALS???
News flash! Human death toll from eating GMO foods has gone from ZERO to a staggering ZERO in just 30 years!

60,000 food products with Non-GMO Project label may be “false or misleading,” FDA guidance document says “The Non-GMO label may see its ubiquitous butterfly wings trimmed, according to a new guidance document from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) aimed at promoting accurate food marketing practices. In late March 2019, the agency released a set of recommended guidelines detailing how non-GMO and GMO-derived products should be labeled in order to comply with federal law.
The update only “represents the current thinking” of the FDA on the issue and compliance with the new guidance is voluntary. But the agency identified specific kinds of information commonly found on non-GMO labels as “false or misleading,” suggesting the FDA wants food companies to rethink their marketing strategies. The clarification also may open the door to legal challenges of companies using non-GMO labels that can be seen as deceiving to consumers.
Varieties of everything from beer to breakfast cereal are marketed as non-GMO in grocery stores across the US. That includes thousands of foods that do not have a GMO version on the market, including salt, raisins and tomatoes. For the most part, those who embrace non-GMO labeling, many of them committed organic food advocates, share the same fundamental animosity toward so-called genetically engineered foods. Some, like the organic industry group Just Label It, also argue that the labels promote “transparency in our food system.” Many farmers and scientists argue just the opposite, saying that such labels promote confusion and the misleading belief that non-GMO products are safer or more nutritious than their genetically engineered counterparts.
Last fall, the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, an organization that has been rated by the University of Pennsylvania as the top science and technology think tank in the US, submitted a citizen’s petition to the FDA challenging the use of the Non-GMO Project’s logo, saying that it “deliberately deceives and misleads consumers in violation of the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.”
“They are exactly the sort of deceptive and misleading labels Congress was intent on prohibiting,” Val Giddings, a geneticist and senior fellow at the ITIF, told the GLP by email. ITIF petitioned the FDA “….to issue a regulation prohibiting the use of the term ‘Non-GMO’ on consumer foods and goods and requiring distributors to omit any ‘Non-GMO’ term or claims on their labeling.” Many products brandish various non-GMO labels, including eggs, green beans and walnuts (among many more examples), which don’t have genetically engineered equivalents on the market. Some of them, like the FDA’s example of salt, don’t contain any DNA whatsoever. Advertising a product that contains no DNA as “non-GMO” is misleading. Henry Miller, the founding director of the FDA’s Office of Biotechnology, has argued that these labels prompt “nearly half of consumers [to] avoid GMO-labeled foods.” He called on the FDA to go further and stop food companies from marketing products as non-GMO when there are no GMO equivalents available to the public.” https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2019/04/11/30000-food-products-with-non-gmo-project-label-may-be-false-or-misleading-fda-guidance-document-says/
Yes the original number was 30,000 but this misleading label is being abused like crazy more all the time, this has got to stop. And it will be banned by the FDA.
This click bait trash video is packed with lies and conspiracy theories. It is a misleading lie that “Soy is also present in less healthy foods like frozen pizzas, cookies, and chips.” In fact, soy is is many health foods and a billion Asians eat soy in a thousand forms. The EU just approved importing of many US GMO foods:
*European Union green lights imports of eight GMO crops
*
European Commission | December 6, 2019
“[Nov. 28], the [European] Commission authorized eight Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), all for food/feed uses (maize MZHG0JG, maize MON 89034 x 1507 x NK603 x DAS-40278-9, maize MON 89034 x 1507 x MON 88017 x 59122 x DAS-40278-9, maize Bt11 x MIR162 x MIR604 x 1507 x 5307 x GA21, the renewals of soybean MON 89788 and of soybean A2704-12, the renewal of cotton LLCotton25, and the renewal of oilseed rape T45).
All of these Genetically Modified Organisms have gone through a comprehensive authorization procedure, including a favorable scientific assessment by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The authorization decisions do not cover cultivation.”

No, No, They are simply doing their jobs, they want us weak, ill and eventually dead. We are not profitable healthy.
In the 1970’s an obese person was fairly rare, but now a thin person is rare. Don’t tell me this was not in their plan. These people DO want us gone from here. Look around and see what the hell is happening around you. ONE EXAMPLE….Just go to the videos about the Georgia Guidestones (there are a whole bunch of debunking ones now ) look for the real ones. Who the hell spends a bunch of money putting something like this up? https://youtu.be/mP-ehJO-940. These people are sick
At the end of the day, any organization of any kind that gets its hands on easy money will become corrupt.
This video lies about GMO zucchini. It is the only way to buy zucchini safely. Organic zucchini has sent many people to the hospital. Lying organic lobbyist trolls will try to use fear mongering to convince you GMO sourced foods are not as safe when in fact they are far safer. What is not tested, ever, for safety?? Organic, heirloom, hybrid and new truck farm breeds. They go straight to store shelves with zero testing and YOU are the guinea pig. Look at what has happened because of this fact that never happened with GMO foods: “A year ago[2003] in New Zealand, there was an outbreak of food poisoning from a “killer zucchini” that hospitalized a number of people. Environmentalists jumped all over the story until it was determined that the culprit was “organic” zucchini. Plants are chemical factories that produce a multitude of toxins that protect them. An outbreak of aphid infestation had minimal impact on conventionally grown zucchini. The more vulnerable “organic” zucchini was genetically inferior because of inbreeding. They expressed dangerously high levels of the toxin curcubitan. Had this been a transgenic plant, we would be hearing about it ad nauseum, but being that it was “organic,” it was quickly consigned to an Orwellian memory hole.” http://www.uh.edu/trdegreg/genetic_engineering_not_significantly.htm
“But Karen on facebook said that GMO’s were invented by reptiles from Jupiter to make humans suffer from cancer and she said that bill gates tweeted “ahahah i m evil man i kil u all now ha ha” so i belive evn tho she no site ani sorces it must be reel coz nobody on intrenet evr lie. karen alos say that bil gat give her dorter mesles from an electromaget rai from his mikrosof hedqurter.” I gotta say, I can’t argue with that. I mean, if karen said Bill Gates admitted it with no evidence, then it has to be true! Right? Right..? Right…..?
THERE ARE NO TRUTHFULL LABELS, especially if printed by the corporate owned government…

Organic industry tyranny for 32 years and counting: “Although GMOs are regarded as safe as their conventional counterparts by every major food safety authority in the world, the organic industry spends nearly $3 billion a year through over 330 different organizations leading with fear and “information spin” as an industry to sell their products. By creating an unfounded fear that requires tighter regulations on GMO crops, they are hoping to force them out of the food supply, thereby creating a bigger market share to sell more products in their more than $65 billion wheelhouse.
The unfortunate consequence of these [non-GMO] labels is that the food companies and lobbyists tend to create an unnecessary “us vs. them” divide. When food companies use fear against competitors to sell a product, farmers take it personally.”

Now why do you suppose organic food is so expensive?? Imagine what 3 billion dollars could do for humanitarian goals end a different disease forever every year…. End all hunger in at least one country…… Funding nasty propaganda? Really??
Idc if it’s gmo or not GMO as long it’s safe to eat I’m good with it
Whatever… I have tested Non GMO verified & USDA organic certified and they tested with some GMO, but we’re high in Pesticides, Herbicides, Fungicides, which are carcinogens and causes cancers. You think you can fool us?? Not buying it. My fiancé works in a lab and I have tested many products.
Yeah Sugar is not bad for humans….. what a bs shit show. nice try Monsanto…
I showed my mom who believes that “organic all natural food is the best” turned me showing her this video and the video about is organic food better than normal food into a long lecture about why not to believe everything I read on the internet even though she got the idea of going organic of face book

FOOD & DRUG SHOULDN’T BE IN THE SAME SENTENCE! FDA! CORPORATE MONSTERS!
2:20 I am calling BS on this claim. 130 Research projects over 25 years, with over 500 independent research groups have found GMOs are no more risky than non GMO.
I would expect better than this sort of anti-science fearmongering from a respected org like Consumer Reports Very disappointing.
GMO foods decreases the fertility state of human being. It also can causes of cancer on human body!
If you think that GMOs are good then eat them every single day!
I will stick to organic.
Me: Hey DNA you are noob HAHA. DNA:Nope i am kill you. Me:HAHAHA wait whattt?! DNA:*ERROR* Me:HAHA ERROR (pls go to down)
I ARE AWARE THAT WAS VERY BAD
I’d wish the mean idiots that believes that gmos are bad after watching this once or more, believing 5g towers cause corona virus (although it was the china guy but im not completely certain), not vaccinate the kids causing very low risks but plausible death to humanity (the odds are 0.0000007601% (although this is just pure fact)) and end up killing wholesome people that couldn’t get to vacc
This is not open for discussion according to your WOKE science so tell me why do almost all of the super wealthy and Hollywood stars eat non GMO organic food including the owners of. Monsanto etc maybe you should do a small survey of the executives of your business and let us know the outcome.
Random dude: Isn’t this plant poisonous?
Non Shady Guy: It’s organic.
Random Dude: Okay it’s safe.
I know everyone has said that gmo is bad for us and organic is good for us i did not know that back in the day until i looked it up now a days
Thank you. We shouldn’t all have to read a book just to eat healthy.
So sad to see Consumer Reports lose touch with reality on this issue. This new report even cites the crankiest site on the interwebs-Rense-for their evidence.
But it looks to me like the current systems of “organic” and “non-GMO” are working perfectly fine according to this, so if you really don’t believe what mainstream scientists have to say about GMOs you can avoid them. There’s no need to impose non-science-based labels on them.
GMO Satan modification. The world is sick. Tessler invented technology that could grow food in the desert. Right now Russia is growing the largest amount of organic foods in the world. They didn’t need to GMO anything we are fully capable to feed ourselves without devil food.
lol gmos are not bad. With our ever growing population where the fuck are we suppose to grow all of this “natural organic gmo free blah blah” plants? gmos make plants grow for plentifully and stronger to feed everyone god people are stupid.
Arrest the CEO’s at Con Agra, and Monsanto. That’s what it is….processed and packaged POO.
Todo iba bien, hasta el minuto 6.
Todo el discurso orientado a trabajar contra la naturaleza, no a favor de ella.
Most U.S. soymilk, tofu, etc is non-gmo. Gmo soybeans are mainly fed to cows and used in processed foods in the form of soybean oil.
thats why baby formula is so expensive it actually needs to test trace level low on gmo markers when this whole video is proving gmo free just cant actually be dune because man has screwed with the food too much too long
So how long would it take to get my plant to Mastery 200 without the dumb micro-transactions again?
4:05 wait a minute

Since I was a child, I subscribed to your magazine. I always loved how unbiased you were, even to the point of suing any company that used your reviews in their advertising. Now, you’ve become a complete sham, jumping on the pseudoscience bandwagon. After a subscription of over 30 years, I cancelled it a couple months ago. Besides, there are plenty of resources online to find good prices on cars and ratings on appliances, without having to fund conspiracy theorist loons.
Watermelon doesnt really taste right anymore. When are they going to stop poisoning us?????
BEWARE: Many GMO-paid trolls below! Just label it and let ME decide to eat it or not. Thank you very much.
Dogs and cats are GMOs too… doesnt mean they’re some chemical science experiments that will give you cancer if you pet them. This is just evolution for many of these foods and stuff.
If you have an ounce of self respect you will not watch this 6 year old outdated anti-science video. The GMO safety debate ended in 2016, it’s over: https://allianceforscience.cornell.edu/blog/2016/05/gmo-safety-debate-is-over/
why should you tell people that the Cerials they buy for the children are full of Weed Killer( Round UP) Or that the Corn they buy has Insect poison grown in it i mean if it kills all insects it must be great for the Kids. Shame on Global News for this Propaganda. you belong to them and one Day you will all be held accountable for this.
GMOs have an indirect consequence that is much worse. I see a comment from Popeye Gordon being all sarcastic mentioning a nondeath toll from GMO consumption. But that comment is from the heart of one who only considers human life important. It is hard not to correlate the decline of the bird population and insect population and the increase of pesticides genetically engineered to kill the insects without destroying the plant. So with the decline of insects, birds starve and die. Time will tell regarding the future of GMOs. Human starvation just may be around the corner. Most of these “now” powerful industries cannot see pass the $$$$$ signs floating across their corneas. They are the masters of the ecosystem and perhaps learning things the hard way is the only option. I hope that I’m wrong.
A study from Oklahoma state found that 80% of people are in favor of labeling foods with DNA in them. The average person is uneducated on many topics, and GMOs is a topic where this applies heavily.
Knowledge this shop’s out of date food shouldn’t be on the list of good to eat.
There is also a correlation between organic sales and obesity.
Unfortunately the term “organic” is being used as a marketing scheme and often times the products containing such a term are not even healthy.
This video lies about ‘condiments’ having lots of GMO content. In fact, none of those refined ingredients are legally called GMO even if they come from GMO crops. Why? Refined sweeteners and oils have all traces of DNA and proteins removed so they are chemically identical to organic sourced refined food ingredients. This is covered in our new 2020 GE labeling law.
I’m convinced that most of all the food-including super foods-are being genetically modified. If you’re going to start growing your own food, you better stock up on seeds now. It’s just a matter of time before big corps gain hold of the seed market and start selling genetically modified vegetable and fruit seeds to the public.
SALT DOESN’T EVEN HAVE DNA AND IT’S NON GMO VERIFIED ��������
Number of people or animals killed by GMO food worldwide: 0

All I know is that If Lays BBQ chips has cotton then I’m
Still going to eat them
So what do I eat now, air? That is too polluted…hum….red dirt from mars maybe? The ticket is too expensive and there is no even air there. Wtf!

I try to watch what I eat, but, after listening to you and watching all the foods involved, it seems that I am a walking talking human GMO!
Ya…don’t mention every country except the U.S bans gmo foods!!!!������
I don’t know if I’m the only one, but food is tasting funny to me. Epecially hamburger, chicken, and pork. I still remember what good burger tastes like. I’ve tried many different brands and I’m bummed. Could these animals be building up toxins in their flesh? just like we would? If everything tasted wrong, I’d know it was just me. Cheese and butter are messed up too.
gmo food is modified to grow in weed killer. gmo wheat is a double whammy its sprayed in the growing season and they spray it again before harvest to dry it out so its saturated in weed killer
Bill Gates is pushing GMO foods only. GMO means what? You miles well go eat dirt. Same value. The Elite just starved the people of earth while they do not eat normal food. So what do the Elite eat. Us. They keep humans in cages underground and as pure as possible and that is what they eat while they make us eat each other plus chemicals and fruits and vegetables that have no nutrients in them. Yup. Oh well. 99.99% of people wont wake up and the Elites get their way anyways. Nice knowing you all.
I personally am Anti-GMO and vegan. Nevertheless, I have watched a lot of videos about GMO and read about it. Here is what I think goes on in the head of GMO company executives
Your right to know anything ends where big corporation profit-loss begins. Grow up! No GMO labeling in America is just one example out of a many. GMOs are poison, true, but in reason its okay to give it to the public because in theory, extremely slow killing poison is not poison. Greasy food clog arteries and will eventually kill you. People still eat it and labeling it not required. Pills and big doctor bills can fix immediate problem; people are accustomed to that (knowingly or not is irrelevant). Any food with 50 ingredients you have no idea what they are, will most likely contribute to killing you in the far future. But that is cool. Pills and doctors bills fix short-term issues. Long term is thinking too far. Lots of everyday beauty products that are non-organic are carcinogens. But they are cool since none will kill you immediately. People only care about being alive now and do not think of the future. Being sick now is okay, pills can fix that. If there is a lot of things ruining lives and people are okay with it (regardless of knowingly or not), GMO companies might as well make some money before the eventual…; just like beauty and other companies do.
12 WAYS ORGANIC ACTIVISTS MISLEAD CONSUMERS
I guarantee you have heard most or all of these malicious lies frequently on Youtube and from activists.
Each of these lies are carefully debunked and the dishonesty is exposed in the link for this article I provided at the bottom.
Lie #1: Conventional farmers don’t care about their soil; only organic farmers do
Lie #2: Conventional farmers douse or drench their produce in pesticides
Lie #3: Regulators are in the pocket of big industry and don’t even check if pesticides are safe
Lie #4: Organic farmers do not use pesticides or if they do, they are nice and gentle (and they only use a little)
Lie #5: Growing food naturally is always better and more sustainable
Lie #6: You can feed the world without agri-tech
Lie #7: Integrated Pest Management excludes the use of pesticides
Lie #8: The over-reliance on herbicides is leading to an explosion of super-weeds
Lie #9: Pesticide drift is a major issue
Lie #10: Our present agricultural model was built on the need to reapportion toxic chemicals after WWII
Lie #11: Large chemical companies lobby to remove regulations
Lie #12: Pesticides are a main cause of cancer

“Though much of the controversy around genetically modified crops is driven by the belief that the process of moving genes from one species to another is “unnatural,” new research shows some 1 in 20 flowering plants are naturally transgenic. Dozens of plants, including bananas, peanuts, Surinam cherries, hops, cranberries and tea, contain the Agrobacterium microbe — the very same bacterium that scientists typically use to create GM crops. The research follows on the heels of the 2015 discovery that sweet potatoes are naturally transgenic. Agrobacterium DNA also has been found in tobacco plants.The findings were reported in a paper published Sept. 21 in the journal Plant Molecular Biology. Researchers studied the genomes of some 356 dicot species and found 15 naturally occurring transgenic species. “Thus, HGT [horizontal gene transfer] from Agrobacterium to dicots is remarkably widespread,” the abstract stated.
It has also been discovered that the horticultural process of grafting different plants together can lead to the exchange of genes, meaning humans have inadvertently been creating transgenic plants for millennia. From genome studies, we can see that gene swapping has been going on since the dawn of life.

thank you maam for this good insight video i myselfe have started to really be concerned about wat i put in my vessel even more so now i’d rather eat foods that are labeled non-GMO more now becuz i care about my vessel and wanna stay away from fake meats and fake foods such az ice cream etc. and focus more on organic and non-GMO food
I read that a kind of GM corn was banned in Europe. + why every non GMO food company labels its products as not a GM.
Apparently there’s human flesh in big mac’s and other McDonald’s burgers.
Im just curious if they would later on have side effects. A bug spray is deadly for the bug, but it is still bad for you. And everything we eat has effect on our genes and dna. We consume to continue.
Also, just curious, those pests and bugs that ruin the crops, don’t they have a purpose as well? Like in food chain or something else?
For example, (that isn’t that really related but still) I hate mosquitos, and don’t think they have any purpose besides pissing me off, but they surely have a place in the eco-system, no?
Very helpful video thank you very much. Very cute memories of mistakes at end of the video.
GMOs aren’t actually bad for you. It was just that one bad company (Monsanto) that ruined it for everyone. Genetically modified organisms have actually been the biggest advancement in solving world hunger! Don’t bother paying extra for non-GMO foods. They’re just a waste of money.
i am hoping that the new generation will correct the fraud in our government i think we older folks missed the mark by believing them too much!
I’ll just leave this here…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TmcXYp8xu4
BULL!..There is a BIG DIFFERENCE between natural selection and modifying example combine a grapefruit and a plum or making a peach smooth compared to ADDING TOXINC CHEMICALS IN THE FOOD oh like insecticide!?
Thank you Global News for putting this well-informed piece together with experts who actually know what they are talking about. There is a tremendous amount of anti-science rhetoric and misleading information available today whether it’s anti-vaccine or non-GMO propaganda. Thank you for rightfully calling attention to how harmful and misleading this unofficial labeling is.
I keep hanging around thinking this channel will some how improve but it’s just got more click baity and factually inaccurate as time has gone on.
You know sweetheart….how organic is my food, when they spray poison via chemtrails all over this world??..I mean…They started in 1950…how healthy can my food be???
Well, actually, there is no possible way to lower CO2 level by planting trees, no matter how those might be modified. Or, more accurately, it is possible, but only as long, as the tree lives. There is simple logic behind this living tree accumulates carbohydrates, produced by photosyntesis, from atmospherical CO2. As long as photosyntesis occurs, carbon is trapped. But, when tree dies, either is cut down by human or collapses naturally, carbon must be sooner or later released. If the tree wood is burnt CO2 is being produced. If the tree undergoes natural processes of decomposition CO2 and methane are released.
Only possibily to lower levels of CO2 at this point is to do exact opposite of our previous behavior cut down all this additionally planted trees, when they would be fully grown, and bury them deeply under the ground.
I think only this way we may remove redundant carbon which we and our ancestors introduced into nature.
Empty foods.. they change the plants ability to take in minerals so you get week foods..
It’s all about profits for them
President Trump Signs Executive Order Easing Regulations on GMO Crops. President Trump signed an executive order to make it easier for genetically engineered plants and animals to enter the food supply. Crops produced with newer gene-editing technologies, including the CRISPR gene editing technique, would only be subject to special oversight under the proposed rule if they posed a risk as plant pests. Americans have objected to GMOs for many years over health and safety issues, but politicians ignore the will of the people. (Need To Know News June 2019)
Sorry but I just spent the time looking at you flashing your stocking tops! And check them at the end!
* This is not the solution. *
GMO’s become patentised and lead to profits of few and hunger for many. We’ve been able to feed the world for a long time if u look at macronutrient level produced daily in the world. However there are grand food reserves that are not used for feeding, because the poor can’t pay for them.
820 million, (approx 1 in 15) go to bed every day with a hungry stomach, and not by because they due to intermittent fasting, but because they can’t make enough money to pay for food made by multinational businesses like Monsanto and other Green Revolution companies funded which now are being funded by the Gates foundation etc..
And still we are thought that all is well because we are using yield as most important, main parameter for agriculture. Which has shown to be unsustainable.
Agriculture is meant to be tended by the communities for the the communities. Providing income for the people who tend the land. If regional farmers,in Africa for instance, can not sell their stock because commodities like chicken and milk are being brought into the country by richer countries and sold for much lower price, these farmers have no income. A lot people are farmers in third world countries and a lot of people used to be farmers in the west. Until multinationals convinced us that they would “feed the world” by letting us fund their technological endeavors. Which they patented and now use to undersell literally every crop. Leading the to the classic scenario of making the rich richer and the poor poorer. The millions of euro’s, pounds, dollars that go from the taxpayer to the industrial farming complex are not helping the taxpayers, as they become more dependent on a few corporations that are ruining the earths health.
Real agro-ecological agriculture, is the future. Not another Green Revolution in Africa, after the Green revolution that ruined: the soils, and diversity of organisms and spreaded wealth, in Europe and America

GMOs specifically designed to sell more pesticides must be REALLY good for humanity… (s)
I just let the video play while I was playing cards, but I’ll eat foods whether they’re GMO’s or not as long as they taste good.
Take care and God loves you.
People Strongly Against GMOs Had Shakier Understanding Of Food Science, Study Finds Jan 26, 2019 “People who most intensely oppose genetically modified food think they know a lot about food science, but they actually know the least, according to a peer-reviewed paper published in January in the journal Nature Human Behaviour.

Gmo are not safe and if you listen to the video the mice that ate gmo
Develop tumors, yeah real safe lol obesity Alzheimer’s cancer rate is higher now then ever before big pharma develop GMOs the sicker we are the richer they get.. Reading some of these comments that food should not be labeled are morons is it not our business what we eat, we should have the choice to know what we want to eat and shouldn’t we have the right to know what it is we’re eating what is it none of our business?
Only reason they don’t want to lable it is because their afraid of losing money. Trust it because
they say it’s safe? they wouldn’t lie to us LMFAO it’s all about money everything is about money we live and in a greedy Society G.M.O genetically modified living organisms think about it. I honestly can not believe just how naive some people are. We are getting sicker not healthier just look at the cancer rate, the rate of autism, and Alzheimer it’s increasing by the minute. Whom ever says GMO is safe have Their hands in on the Fortune.
7:53 The world eats 11 million pounds of food a day.
When this was made there were about 7,5billion people alive.
11,000,000/7,500,000,000=0,001467 pounds of food a day per average person or 0,665 grams of food a day per average person.
I`m pretty sure the average person eats more than 0,665 grams of food a day.
this helped so much with a school essay! Your channel explains complicated topics in such a concise, understandable and engaging way. Thanks for the great content!
How are you all of you even though I am a greeter I hope you’re having a wonderful day
A little misleading commentary on the health effects of GMO’s. As of yet, the vast majority of study can find No negative health effects to their consumption. Also, some GMO’s could, in fact, occur in nature eventually some are no more interesting than the splicing of plant breeds that we have been doing for thousands of years.
But as you correctly said, the nature of them can vary greatly, and I have no doubt that there are some more ambitious types of GMO’s which are unhealthy to consume, while there are also ones that are more healthy for us than their “natural” alternatives, and so they should all be labelled and tested accordingly.
There is some very misleading information on milk labels about RBGH. Read the label CAREFULLY…including the footnote. Canola oil contains erucic acid which is worse for your veins than LDL because it sticks to the walls and its acidity EATS through them. Read the label on vegetable oil. It is usually soy..
Consumer Reports posted this 3 years ago before the GMO debate was ended and all the fear mongering exposed as quackery. It is extremely sloppy of them to not remove this remnant of a serious blunder they made. The May 16 2016 NAS study invalidated any negative aspersions falsely associated with GMO foods. Obama permanently blocked any labeling attempts. Science won, conspiracy theorists lost, Consumer Reports lost too.
There is NO such thing as a GMO free papaya. They are ALL GMO!!

Most of our food in the states will be gmo. Btw is not safe food.
What are the person’s qualifications? Just seems like a random person making a video on their opinion.
Truly corenna this video was packed with knowledge that I had never heard of. This is why it’s very disturbing to me. I really don’t think I wanna know what I am eating especially if 90% of my food is GMO I know that you gave us an idea of what we can eat but I just refused to give up my junk food without an appreciable replacement. Besides the damages have already been done and it is unrepairable so as my grandma always said if better can’t be done then let the worst continue
I wonder what the presenter has a PHD in, because it doesn’t seem to be in anything science related. Agricultural animal and plants are continuously bred to produce offspring that have the highest food yields while being resistant to disease, etc., so according to her definition, all known food are GMO’s. There has been extensive research into GMO’s and there is no evidence that it is harmful to humans.
GMO is better for the environment than non-gmo so if u really want to help the environment buy gmo and not non-gmo(not joke what I’m saying is true)
There is your democracy North America, we will just slip GMOs into your food and not give you the right to know.
Guess what? I don’t care! There isn’t a damn thing in this world that doesn’t affect you in some way or give you cancer thanks to mankind. There’s a lot of things we wouldn’t have such as bananas and other items if they weren’t GMOs. Just because it’s modified doesn’t mean it’s bad. If you have enough time to worry about how things are grown and lose sleep over it you got a problem. You could die tomorrow in an accident, a storm, or even a bee sting. Quit being paranoid! I’m just a cranky 61 year old guy who eats what he wants, when he wants it, and how he wants it. I’m just thankful it’s available PERIOD.
If you eat out it is almost impossible to avoid GMO foods. I never eat out and never eat instant foods.I only eat Mother Nature’s food. Thank you Mommy.
This asshole conspiratard channel also owns a video about “aliens who have visited the Earth”. Pure Youtube trash.
The ppl who say there’s nothing wrong with this are morons. In no way is this GOOD for anyone. How about half the world saying they need medicine for so called mental issues? Half of the world is on some form of depression or mental health medicine. Kids going an shooting up schools because they felt like it. Ffs it’s man made in a lab �� how ppl? Half of the world wants to kill each other literally. When did they start doing this? I’m not buying it at all. Everything that’s man made has flaws in it cause we’re humans. Nope sorry but y’all go ahead and eat ur fake food. I’ll grow my own an you all can keep telling me why you don’t feel good or how you can’t put ur finger on it but you just don’t feel like yourself. Or that something is wrong with you, you just know it. While taking you psych meds. Nahh I’m good fan wake up!!
ah..! ��they got to organic foods���� and no one ain’t paying attention���� to this while we’re falling for the okey doke and that this organic bullshit thinking that it’s real and.. it’s not! evil filthy dirty stinking old rich basterds�� greedy power mothafuckers��
The issue of roundup ready, has to be distinguished from the broader issue of gmo s. A round up ready crop is sprayed with glyphosateit is genetically altered to withstand the herbicide glyphosate, and is therefore poisonous, by virtue of the glyphosate, not the genetic modification. However a gmo salmon has not been sprayed, and may or may not be toxic
If we were to inject a gene that would multiply the plant like a weed into something like a flower or something to quickly multiply would it work?
