90% of the corn and soy in this country are GMO, and not just any GMO, they are grown with roundup in the seed which kills bugs, but it's supposed to be safe for us!? Furthermore, the majority of the foods in the middle aisles at the grocery store, processed and prepared foods, have corn and soy in them! I want to explain to you exactly what GMO means, how to identify the the bad ones(corn & soy), and how to find tricky names for them on food labels and ingredients. I know many of the comments will be so called food scientists telling me that I don't know what I am talking about, but you can make your own decisions after watching and doing some research for yourself! Mad love Bobby...Dessi...and Art! XOXO

This video will help you to learn What are Genetically Modified Organisms?
What are Genetically Modified Organisms?
How many different colored roses have you seen?
Have you ever wondered how do they attain these different colors…..
In this video, we will study about genetically modified organisms.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are any organism, whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.
They are used to produce medicines, genetically modified food and in scientific research.
Examples of genetically modified varieties are:
1) Golden Rice
The rice variety (Oryza sativa) was modified with daffodil genes, which synthesize more beta-carotene in which our body converts to vitamin A.
2) Flavr savr tomatoes
It is the first commercially grown genetically modified food to be granted a license for human consumption.
It is modified by adding an antisense gene to slow down the ripening process, thus preventing it from softening.
Antisense gene interferes with the production of the enzyme polygalacturonase.
This enzyme normally degrades pectin in the cell walls and results in the softening of fruit which makes them more susceptible to being damaged by fungal infections.
3) BT Maize
Maize plant was modified with genes of a bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis to synthesize delta protein which is responsible for resistance against insects.
As the insect eats the kernel, delta protein is activated in the gut that results in paralysis of the digestive system of the insect.
The insect stops eating within a few hours and eventually starves.
4) Aquadvantage salmon
Atlantic salmon modified by growth hormone-regulating gene from a Pacific chinook salmon.
This gene increases the speed at which fish grows without affecting its size and other qualities in 16 to 18 months rather than 3 years.
5) Genetically modified Potato
Potatoes were modified using RNA interference to switch off genes to resist black spots, bruising, browning and to produce low levels of amino acid Asparagine, that converts into acrylamide during frying of potatoes.
Other examples of genetically modified organisms include
BT. cotton, an insect-resistant variety of cotton.
Transgenic cows, for the production of human protein in the milk.
Dolly sheep was the first cloned transgenic animal produced from somatic cells.

Pamela Ronald studies the genes that make plants more resistant to disease and stress. In an eye-opening talk, she describes her decade-long quest to help create a variety of rice that can survive prolonged flooding. She shows how the genetic improvement of seeds saved the Hawaiian papaya crop in the 1950s — and makes the case that it may simply be the most effective way to enhance food security for our planet’s growing population.

GM Crops | Genetics | Biology | FuseSchool
GM stands for genetically modified. So, GM crops are plants grown for food whose genes have been altered using genetic engineering. In some cases, the genes of other organisms have been inserted into the genome of the crop plant to improve it in some way. As the human population increases, there is a higher demand for food, and it is often difficult to grow enough food to provide everyone with a balanced diet. Growing GM crops is a partial solution to this problem because GM crops tend to have higher yields than conventional crops.

Summary:
1. They are more appealing to eat: Colors can be changed or improved with genetically modified food so they become more pleasing to eat. Deeper colors change how the brain perceives what is being eaten. Deeper red colors make food seem sweeter, even if it is not. Brighter foods are associated with better nutrition and improved flavors.
2. Stronger Crops: One of the main advantages of GM technology is that crops can be engineered to withstand weather extremes. This means that there will be good quality and sufficient yields even under poor or severe weather conditions. As populations across the world grow and more land is being utilized, farmers are pushed to grow crops in locations that are originally not suitable.
3. Easier to transport: Because GMOs have a prolonged shelf life, it is easier to transport them greater distances. This improvement makes it possible to take excess food products from one community and deliver it to another that may be experiencing a food shortage. GMO food gives us the opportunity to limit food waste, especially in the developing world, so that hunger can be reduced and potentially eliminated.
4. They are cheaper: GMO crops are bred to grow efficiently. This means that farmers can produce the same amount of food using less land, less water, and fewer pesticides than conventional crops.

From Glow in the Dark Rabbit to Anti-Cancer Purple Tomatoes here are 18 Genetically Modified Organisms You Don't Know About
Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr
# 9 Fish Strawberries
The ripest and juiciest strawberries you got from the supermarket might contain the genetic traces of a fish. Scientists have been experimenting with combining strawberries with the “anti-freeze genes” that are found in cold water fish like Arctic Char and Sea flounders which help the strawberries resist freezing and dying in bad weather. Luckily, it doesn’t create a weird fishy-tasting strawberry.
# 8 Glow in the Dark Rabbit
Most genetically modified organisms have a scientific purpose in mind or a greater goal that usually justifies messing with something’s DNA spread. However, Eduard Kac used genetic engineering for creating works of art rather than for scientific research. His most notorious work was the Glow in the Dark rabbit named Alba. It sparked a debate about animal rights, but Alba died before anything was resolved.
# 7 Goats Spliced with Spiders
When you think of genetically splicing something with a spider, you usually think of superheroes with spider themed super powers. However, in real life, you can find animals that have been genetically combined with spiders - goats. Spider silk is flexible and strong, and some even want to try and produce it on a larger scale so we can use it to make things like parachute cords. One lab has spliced spider’s genes with a goat so that these flexible and strong spider silk genes would be replicated in their milk. This silk milk is also able to create Biosteel, a strong web-like material.
# 6 Golden Rice
Rice is a major staple food in many parts of the world partly because it's cheap and partly because it helps you feel full even when you don’t have much to eat. However, the normal white rice isn’t very healthy for you. That is why scientists are working on Golden Rice, rice that was spliced with vegetables like squash and carrots that not only create the golden color but include beta-carotene which is more nutrient dense and could help prevent blindness in children who eat it.
# 5 Ear Mouse
The most notorious genetically modified animal might be the ear mouse or the “Vacanti Mouse” which was created in 1995 by scientists in Massachusetts. The scientists wanted to prove that cartilage structures could be grown on other living creatures before being removed and transplanted into humans who need it. However, this mouse would quickly become famous or infamous as it went onto the Jay Leno show and then used as a mascot by animal-rights groups who were opposed to genetic modifications.
# 4 Scorpion Cabbage
The Androctonus australis is one of the most dangerous scorpions in the world with a venom that can cause tissue damage and death. So of course, we combined the genes from this scorpion with cabbage intended for human consumption. The gene of the scorpion’s venom changed when it was spliced with the cabbage. The venom is now only poison to insects, which spasm and die when they try to eat the crop. That same poison is supposedly completely harmless to humans, making it the perfect crop.
# 3 Anti-Cancer Purple Tomatoes
Researchers have created a tomato that is not only more flavorful but would also help prevent cancer. The researchers spliced tomatoes with the snapdragon flower to create a deep, purple tomato that almost looks like a blackberry. These super tomatoes contain potent antioxidants and inhibit the growth of cancer cells, ease the symptoms of diabetes, and even relieve the pains of growing old. You might just see purple tomatoes on your pizza someday soon.
# 2 Chinese Dog-Pig
This image went around the internet with a bunch of people thinking it was some sort of failed chimera of a pig and a dog because of its pink skin and strange tufts of hair. While it was not an animal that was genetically engineered in a lab, it is an animal that has been genetically engineered over generations and generations, like most dogs are. This dog, in particular, is the Hairless Chinese Crested Dog - an expensive and rare breed of dog that is highly sought after by some people. Even though the winner of the annual world’s ugliest dog contest is usually a Chinese Crested.
# 1 Less-Flatulent Cows
You might have heard that cows produce an excess of methane, which contributes to the dangerous greenhouse effect. It’s hard to make cows stop producing methane since they’re some of the most populous domestic livestock in the world and that is a natural part of their digestive progress. Until we genetically modified cattle to produce 25 less percent of the bacterium in their digestive tract that creates methane gas. Basically, we made cows that fart less.
