1. I hate to sound like a GM pig

...but isn't all farming "unnatural selection"?

[JohnyCanuck]

2. With an insightful statement like that,

you would be a natural for a career in Monsanto's PR department.

3. Nope,

just a simple farmer's daughter, alas.

8. farmers work within the realm of what is, making something entirely new is the stuff of Steven King

new as in taking the genes of things that isn't possible to be rearranged by pollination..

this is the stuff of Frankenstein..

making plants or bacteria act like human glands making hormones.. how about mushrooms that are actually chicken meat.. bacteria that can produce female or male hormones that cause cancer and can get into the guts of animals.. and cant ever be tracked down and eleminated..

that will kill all the bees and end civilization .. oh, i forgot, they may have already done that.

5. so is thoroughbred horse racing & pit bull breeding, but this ain't that...

6. Well, up until now your average farmer couldn't find a way

to put pig proteins into rice or antibiotics into corn. And despite all previous attempts on farms throughout history, it took a laboratory to produce a sheep/ human hybrid.

4. Meta domestic terrorism.

See my tagline.

also a great documentary which can be rented through Netflix.

10. Kick

I'm amazed that more DUers aren't very concerned about this issue. If it isn't brought under control soon I really believe that it will become yet another threat to our survival.

Oh, and the pig with human growth genes was REALLY disturbing!
