WARNING: this flash movie might corrupt your way of thinking and your opinion on food. Yes, it is a propaganda message to make you believe organic food is better than engineered food. That is obviously a deviation and a nonsense (sic).

My only prupose at posting this link was to show an entertaining flash movie. What people get or don't get from it is beyond my concern. I took it as a humoristic thing, so should you. Because from the reactions I see in this thread, most people stopped to the 'funny' aspect of that movie, and only 2 went further, with a professoral tone with that. Pointing out that you disagree with the message of the movie is quite irrelevant since you won't change people's opinions by voicing yours in a louder way. Now, about GM food or 'organic', I have to say I don't care. Pesticides are my biggest concern today since these are basically poison in our food, on an everyday basis. This is called chronical poisoning and as far as I know, most of the products used to protect the veggies from pests are carcinogen. You might not have any effect right now but on the long run it will be another story I think. Compared to that, GM food or not, what is appealing in organic food is the fact they're grown using as little chemicals as possible. Yet I agree it's probably a major marketing issues than a public health one. _______________ Padawan and brother to SmilyKrazy - Adopted in the Belouve Family by Fizz and Bubu, BELOUVE ON! - Vladarion, you'll always be in my heart and memories - Spam-Padawan of Jacen Aratan - [DJ is my beloved wife! - JA Family: Brothers:

I do not dispute that the vid was entertaining--especially the plays on words, e.g. "The Farm is a, er, field..." I was merely pointing out that the "facts" it presents do not jibe with real science, and it is presented as though it were an educational film, not merely satire. I guarantee a lot of people will routinely cite the "facts" they learned from the video--and that's Crazy Stuff. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

I don't know, Odan. I'm very impressed by their sharp political insight. It all sounds very original and noteworthy to me. Maybe we should gather up a lot of old men in dusty robes to discuss the issue. We can get all excited and start shouting things like "I am your farmer, Luke!". |

The problem is that people tend to get their "facts" from entertainment, and in fact the flash animation in question was created to convince people of "facts," not simply to entertain. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

"Organic" is just an advertising slogan to justify trippling the price of food. All food is "genetically modified" unless you can point to a staple of my diet that existed a billion years ago. The food hysterics just object to food that is modified carefully by Big Bad Capitalism, as opposed to modified by random mutation...but a chromosome is just a molecule, and a molecule doesn't know or care about socialist ideology. _______________ My signature is only one line.
