Let's just say that eating is a luxury and all we really need to survive is nutrition, water, and some bulk food. Nutrition can come from a bottle of liquid or nutrition powder mixed in water. Then people can fill up on rice and whatever else they can find. When people are truly starving they are not concerned with their DNA - if they are that poor, they should not be reproducing anyway..perhaps that is a different cause and a different website, but seriously - if people need a handout as a lifestyle, I believe measures should be taken reduce their birthrate if not eliminate it. let's get serious. the party is over. World hunger can be elimated - but only when people keep the main thing the main thing. Feeding starving people is the main thing.

Jesus lord! So much negativity. You who point the finger at Bill Gates, please offer up YOUR solutions rather than slam his efforts. Perhaps it is YOU who are the ones who are self-serving. Doesn't it say somewhere in your bible - ". . .do not judge lest you be judged."
I came on this site to find out what is going on and what I could become a part of - but this is shameful. . . yes - I can educate myself more too on GM foods - in the meantime, what are the alternatives??

Bill Gates is a business genius, expert in the field of computers and programs, and one of the richest men in the world.
But an expert about GM foods and agriculture he’s not, and it appears what he may have read or been told by his financial contemporaries—who believe the earth would be better off without four-fifths of its current population, even though we have enough food and calories for everyone on the planet today—falls somewhere south of the truth.
In short, I’m afraid he has bought into the elites’ big Over-Population-Food-and-Resource-Shortages-Means-GM-Foods-Are-the-Only-Things-That-Can-Save-Our-Starving-World lie.
Would he and the Rockefellers eat GM food? I think not. It appears they very much they would prefer old fashion cornflakes—natural, of course—along with other natural foods because they’re building themselves an all-natural seed vault (along with others at their financial level) carved into the side of a mountain on a remote island north of Norway.
It’s called the artic seed vault or, as F. William Engdhal dubbed it, The “Doomsday Seed Vault” in the Arctic.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=...
Here’s what has happened since 9/11. The great unwashed—you and me—have discovered things like the arctic seed vault (thanks to the Internet) that we wouldn’t have know about just a few years ago. And we, along with the rest of the world, are stepping off the hamster wheel and beginning our struggle with this small group of mega-rich elites; some of whom, like Bill Gates, have earned their money the old-fashioned way with brains and hard work.
But there are others in this category who’ve mostly inherited their fortunes from past patriarchs who stole, scammed, or fleeced it from the public with schemes similar to the one currently underway in America—the printing and skimming of trillions for “bailouts” and buddies on Wall Street; then handing taxpayers the bill and riding off into the sunset in their limousines.
Corporate chiefs, meanwhile, continue patenting the rest of the earth—including GM seeds whose natural cousins have fed and healed us since humanity started eating—while their elite financial buddies at the mega-banks have the world’s financial systems shut down to consolidate their stranglehold on money and credit (read who gets it).
Generations of inheriting or siphoning enormous wealth leaves this whole group without heart, soul, or conscience.
Bored.
They have no sense of life or reality and base their superiority and worth on the perpetuity and growth of their money; concocting schemes to help them make more; like false flag events or wars or “pandemics” or genetically modified (GM) foods.
Not smarter or more gifted, these elites.
More ruthless.
More than fifteen million Americans have lost their jobs and income over the last few months as a result of these elites and the international banking cabal’s current financial peccadilloes. Unemployment rates vary from the government’s 9.something to Shadow-stat’s more accurate 21.3%.
Do these elites enjoy handcuffing people financially so they can pick their pockets? Or medically by forcing them to take vaccine shots they don’t want for a pandemic that doesn’t exist? Or selling them genetically modified food—now found to affect animal reproductive systems and internal organs, according to studies emerging from Europe and the rest of the world—without first conducting studies to see how these GM foods would affect humans?
Is this their sport? Are there sons of Stalin lurking among them? Are the Halliburton pens for the Internet-educated non-elites who are going to refuse their shots?
The more outrageous these elites’ schemes, the harder it was for people to see them before the Internet. Many citizens, for example, would never have gotten their minds around 9/11 if it hadn’t been for the web. It’s all out there, though. (And in David Ray Griffin’s nine books.)
The elite know the unwashed know about them now. That’s why they’ve gone all in globally with their pandemic, vaccines, and GM seed program lies. They’re betting people in financial straits won’t care about 9/11 or GM foods or “swine flu” or who’s on first.
Cloward-Piven time. Now or never. No recalling Internet knowledge. The unwashed already know what the Bank of International Settlements and the Bank of England and the Bilderbergs and Trilateralists and Council on Foreign Relations and Club of Romers and eugenicists have been up to lo these many decades.
And are up to now.
The unwashed no longer trust the Cyclops’ shills and white shirts and red-tied talking heads and moderators and round-tablers that come into their living rooms to sell, lie, and propagandize for the elites. They know why, now, the government offered to buy everyone a converter box for their television sets.
The unwashed have also learned the elite’s agenda from the Internet by listening and reading and researching what they have written and said and done.
There are hints now from the elite about a second Internet—you know, one for them and one for us—and a mechanism to “shut it down in a cyber ‘emergency.’” Jay Rockefeller has introduced such a bill in Congress. http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s773/text
Too late. The unwashed have already left their barns and headed for the electronic archives; discovering our electeds throw cow patties at one another for the public’s entertainment while they pass bills they’re paid not to read, written for them by a faceless stable of “elite” lawyers probing for ways around the Constitution.
Our electeds are elitist slaves. Shills. Puppets. Criminals, too.
Those who enabled America’s predicament need to be arrested and tried and put in federal penitentiaries for fraud or theft or treason or worse.
There are no evil or good divisions among elites; it’s just a double handful of mega-rich psychopaths [v. the rest of humanity] who’ve hidden behind the Constitution’s guarantees for a century; using its protection to maneuver America and the world into the situation it’s in today; all while their controlled media outlets deliberately masked and obfuscated their deceptions.
Toxic GM foods were quietly okayed by the USDA and FDA for consumption in the U.S. more than a decade ago, even though world scientists familiar with the technology and those associated with GM production raised alarms and issues about GM seeds and “foods” when they were first introduced.
No labels. No notices. Nothing about how GM food would/could/might affect people.
Have you ever wondered about the sudden emergence of 50 million Type II diabetics this last decade? (So many children have it now they can no longer call it Adult Onset Type II Diabetes.) And the major increases in Autism? Asthma? Allergies? Low male sperm counts? Could these trends be connected to the GM foods Americans have been eating? You know, like fructose from GM corn and other GM products that’s in probably 90% of our processed foods?
No one knows.
Millions are aware of these GM foods now, thanks to the Internet and, like me, have stopped eating them and turned to GM-free organic foods.
Europe bans GM foods and requires labeling of all GM products.
Many of India’s and Mexico’s farmers have committed suicide because of them.
Independent studies about how GM consumption affects animals are finally emerging in other parts of the world.
The results aren’t pretty.
Forcing GM food on nations and people isn’t—was never—about saving the world from starvation.
It was about making money for the elites and corporations and big pharma who, in my opinion, will provide the “medicines” for the people after the GM foods make them sick; You know, like Type II diabetes and asthma medications. No, it has always been about multinational corporations, monopolizing agriculture, and probably population control.
Now, because of the Internet, the unwashed no longer trust the shills and puppets and talking heads and moderators and round-tablers who come into their living rooms selling The Big Agenda and Lie through the electronic Cyclops. The unwashed know, now, why the government offered them a free converter box.
Elites respond that what they do is in plain sight; that they’re transparent.
Really? Then why is it they still meet in secret? Behind locked doors? In guarded villas or gated resorts? On yachts? Always with restricted access and publicity blackouts except that which is deliberately leaked?
It’s because these meetings are where they talk about how long to extend “wars” and depressions like we’re in now. Or why they need to ‘get cracking’ and complete their Arctic seed vault. Or why the Spanish Royals’ U.S. toll road corridor went south. Or how to solve the world’s “population problems.”
Things like these and their money are their aphrodisiacs. They signed Gates into the world’s mega-rich club; into the bowels of their ship. They’ve done this because of his money (it’s useful); and because people listen when Bill Gates talks and therefore, when he talks, he needs to be talking about their agenda. Like Obama. Like Dubya. Like Clinton. Like GHW.
Serious Internet-informed people do not make good slaves. They’ve learned too much; are too demanding; too discerning now. The poor, who mow lawns and clean commodes—who don’t have access or full knowledge about the Internet yet—are still content with what they’re given. They rarely complain and are perfect for the would-be rulers of the 21st Century. They are what the elite expected until the Internet changed all that.
The irony of all this is the elites—who hate the Constitution—appear to have hidden behind its guaranteed safety for a century; using its protection while they maneuvered America and the world into the situation it’s in today; all while their controlled media outlets masked or obfuscated their deceptions.
Government doesn’t seem to be a factor anymore; having been purchased with elite money decades ago.
The Constitution, with its case law, judiciary, legal community, and juries of peers—the last things in the world elites want to face in an honest courtroom—is still intact and will function in a court of law if there’s anyone left in Washington with the courage to use it.
Elites define themselves with their money, “power,” and genetic entitlements—noblesse oblige—not as citizens of a Constitutional Republic with a Bill of Rights for protection against people like them.
Elites are why America’s founders left England.
History and The Bible say schemes to control the world don’t work.

Maybe Mr. Gates (and ned) should read about that camel thing, computer technology is micro-small enough to get through that eye of the needle. Bill, please quit exalting yourself, please realize that nothing happens in this world naturally by mistake. These things usually happen by careless humans doing something stupid, too fast, or, ignoring cause and effect(denial?), and, AND, that you will never buy yourself the title of the world's smartest human being. ned, quit calling people morons, ya moron! GMO's should be tested as thoroughly as any drug, medicine, or pollutant that is out there, before being let loose on the world, if not, that could be a mistake that money or hard work couldn't correct or make right again.

If you are trying to do any form of agricultural research, or continue doing such research, at any land grant college, your grants depend on your pleasing the corporate powers such as Monsanto, etc. So, there goes the research on the benefits of totally organic foods, which are becoming a giant hoax at our supermarkets. How easy it is to grow your own food in your back yard, and preserve it for future use. But, no research is needed to do this, just hard work, (a spade, a rake, and a green thumb, which God gave to every human being). There are thousands of us out there that will show you how to do this, but you have to supply the sweat. Those Monsanto folks will find their judgement when they answer the call we all face. Let them find the eye of the needle with the camel.

"The way to feed the world is to encourage gardens like mine everywhere."

Ahhh, how cute! I'm also guessing you have running water? B/C when drought hits an area every two years (Kenya) where there is no irrigation, your cute little organic garden would completely shrivel without either A) irrigation, or B) drought-tolerant GM seeds. Also, try growing enough food to sell using labor-intensive organic practices when half of your household is either A) Dying of AIDS, or B) Already dead from AIDS.

Maybe you should actually visit Africa before thinking what's works for you will work best over there...

Good to see the echoe chamber is just as bad as teaching science as it is with encouraging pragmatic thought...

Not if they're royalty-free, you freaking moron.

Gates, don't be a jack ass, GM crops will only increase problems around the world, 'search - GMO - monsanto - India, and see what's going on!!! Take a serious look at Permaculture for Africa, which will help restore the environment as well as feed the people and help economic development. GM is nothing but a Frankenstein approach to man made problems, and only helps corporate fascists like Monsanto. Wake up!
On second thought, Bill, you're a bit of a fascist your self, but that doesn't mean you can't change.
Permaculture! see permaculture Bill Mollison on you tube

" The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

of course bill gates thinks GMO food is good for africans. he is an elitist eugenecist scumbag. id like to see him eat gmo food. the story about him donating money to indian farmers should have been titled "Eugenicist Gates Helps More Indian Farmers Commit Suicide While Also Destroying Indian Agriculture"

My thoughts about Bill Gates wanting to help poor starving Africans & other so-called '3rd world' peoples with his 'charitable' foundation after a 'successful' career developing his MicroSoft empire is- 'Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts' [referring to the Greeks’ destruction of Troy via the 'Trojan Horse' ploy]. There’s a PR myth about Bill Gates as the visionary wiz kid who founded MicroSoft thru 'innovation'. But the real story is one of opportunism [his mother was the administrative assistant to the CEO of IBM] & using cut-throat biz practices to create a near monopoly- for which the US Gov's DoJ brought a case against him & MicroSoft in the 1990's [one should research the ruthless tactics employed by MicroSoft to effectively dominate the area of computer software to get a look at the real character behind that 'genteel nerdy' facade]. So the question is why would a white mid-aged nerd- fabulously rich- from a well to do back-ground [his father Bill Gates Sr has held influential posts at the UN] be so interested in helping 'poor' Black Africans? What does he have in common with them? Has he done much to help feed poor Black & Brown people in the US- IE: the Katrina victims? Has he ever lived in Africa or even been there [beyond maybe time for a quick photo op]? And why is he pushing GM foods [by Monsanto] as THEE solution? Just last year S-African farmers had a terrible experience with Monsanto's GM crops that failed miserably. And why have Bill & Melinda Gates the Rockerfellers & other elites so invested in the Arctic Seed Vault project [presumably no GMO seeds being stored there]? Further- its a truism that anything designated for Africa & the so-called ‘3rd world’ is at best 2nd rate [& often 3rd or 4th rate IE: Broken grain 3 rate rice, unfit to be sold in the US- being dumped in Liberia because the Firestone Rubber Corp's PLANTATION there {the world's largest} didn't want to pay the slave wages of $30/month - which resulted in Liberia no longer being self-sufficient in rice- their staple food. Or in the wake of Chernobyl, the EU dumped radioactive contaminated meat & dairy unfit to be sold in Europe on the African market. Also I never, before or since, saw a NEW Unused BIC pen that leaked from the ball-point tip- until my stay in Liberia- where as many as half did]. Thus I'm highly suspicious of any plans Bill Gates & his ilk have for Africa especially when it comes to food & medicine- particularly when he's pushing Monsanto's [or any other Agri-biz's] GM food. At least his ruthlessness in the IT world was theoretically containable to cyberspace. If that type of ruthlessness is unleashed on the world's food supply, especially on the most vulnerable, then God help us.

I started my first garden this year and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Just about everything came to fruition in my tiny 15 x 15 yard: corn, beans, tomatoes, peppers, squash, potatoes, sunflowers, cilantro, maitake mushrooms and garlic - all organic, heirloom seeds, fertilized with nothing but organic mulch, coffee grinds and chicken manure. The way to feed the world is to encourage gardens like mine everywhere.

Two words Bill: Windows Vista. Given $40 Billion and a software monopoly you were universally rejected by the whole world for 7 years. That's why you resigned and you should be ashamed of yourself. I wrote better code in my spare time while working a full time job than you could with 100,000 engineers. So now you're becoming a doctor and a farmer, and you're planning to save the African children instead of American children. Of course, you won't introduce better sanitation and water, just vaccines. Sure, they can eat and drink urine and feces but as long as they have a vaccine, no problem. And if they don't like it because they know you are spreading disease, now you're going to force-vaccinate the world with mosquitoes and bananas. You and your wife should be trapped in a tent with one million of those mosquitos and nothing to eat but GMO food and nothing to drink but raw sewage. Go to hell.

You’re getting it right. Mr. Gates, I’m afraid, is unaware of the class of monsters he has fallen in with, and my sense is that he has become a useful idiot to them; his money notwithstanding.

Will he and the Rockefellers eat GM food? No, it appears they very much prefer their of old fashion bowls of natural cornflakes because they’re using their money, along with others in their rarified financial air, to build what is known as the artic seed vault.

See, the people Gates has thrown in with believe the earth can do without four-fifths of the population presently on the globe—even though we have enough food and calories for everyone on the planet—and I’m afraid Gates has bought into their over-population food shortage lie.

If he concurs with their lie, then he’s one of them.
What’s happened since 9/11 is the great unwashed—you and me—have discovered things (thanks to the Internet) we didn’t know just a few years ago. And we, along with the rest of the world, are stepping off the hamster wheel and beginning our struggle with a small group of mega-rich elitist pests; some whom earned their money the old-fashioned way with brains and hard work. (Gates is one example.)
But the others? They inherited it from past patriarchs who stole, scammed, or fleeced it from the public with schemes similar to the one currently underway in America—printing and skimming trillions for “bailouts” and buddies on Wall Street; then handing taxpayers the bill and riding off into the sunset in their limousines.
Corporate chiefs, meanwhile, go about patenting the rest of the earth—including the seeds that feed and heal us that we’re talking about—while their elite financial buddies at the mega-banks have the world’s financial systems shut down to consolidate their stranglehold on money and credit (read who gets it).
Generations of inheriting or siphoning enormous wealth leaves this elite group without heart, soul, or conscience.
Bored.
They have no sense of life or reality and base their superiority and worth on the perpetuity of their money; concocting schemes to help them make more; like false flag events or wars or “pandemics” [1,2] or genetically modified (GM) foods. [3,4]
Not smarter or more gifted, these elites.
More ruthless.
More than fifteen million Americans have lost their jobs and income over the last few months as a result of these elites and the international banking cabal’s current financial peccadilloes. Unemployment rates vary from the government’s 9.something to Shadow-stat’s [11] more accurate 21.3%.
Do elites enjoy handcuffing people financially so they can pick their pockets? Or medically by forcing them to take vaccine shots they don’t want for a pandemic that doesn’t exist? Or selling them genetically modified food—now found to affect animal reproductive systems and internal organs, according to studies emerging from Europe and the rest of the world [3]—without first conducting studies to see how their GM foods would affect humans?

And they know why their government offered to buy everyone a converter box for their television sets.
The unwashed learned the elite’s agenda from the Internet by listening and reading and researching what they had written and said and done.
There are hints on the web about a second Internet. You know, one for them and one for us.
Too late.
The unwashed have left their barns and headed for the electronic archives.
They know, now, our electeds throw cow patties at one another for the public’s entertainment while they pass bills they’re paid not to read, written for them by a faceless stable of “elite” lawyers probing for ways around the Constitution.
Our electeds are elitist slaves. Shills. Puppets. Criminals, too.
Those who enabled America’s predicament need to be arrested and tried and put in federal penitentiaries for fraud or theft or treason or worse.
You say elites don’t care if the general populous is aware of what they are doing?
Then tell me why they still meet in secret? Behind locked doors? In guarded villas or gated resorts? On yachts? With restricted access and no publicity?
It’s because that’s where they talk about how long to extend “wars” and depressions like we’re in now. Or why they need to get cracking and complete their Arctic natural seed vault.[4] Or their next population control project.[3] Or why the Spanish Royals’ toll road project went south in Texas.
Things like these and their money are their aphrodisiacs.
That and dumbing down the rest of humanity. Or phasing them out with GM food.[3] Or scrambling their reproductive systems and genes with depleted uranium at the expense of our soldiers. [6]
Their problem is that Internet-educated people are not making good slaves. They’re too demanding; too discerning now.
The poor who mow lawns and clean commodes—who don’t have access—are still content with what they’re given and rarely complain; are perfect for the would-be rulers of the 21st Century.
There are no evil or good divisions among elites; just a double handful of psychopathic mega-rich elitist pests [v. the rest of humanity] who’ve hidden behind the Constitution’s guarantees for a century; using its protection to maneuver America and the world into the situation it’s in today; all while their controlled media outlets deliberately masked their deceptions.

There’s an Internet light shinning in the ship’s hold! Can you see the bilge rats yet?
Millions are aware of GM foods now, thanks to the Internet.
I don’t eat them.
Europe bans them.
Many of India’s and Mexico’s farmers have committed suicide because of them.
Independent studies about how GM consumption affects animals—blocked by GM seed corporations and the FDA in the U.S.—are finally being conducted in other parts of the world.
The results aren’t pretty.
Forcing GM food on nations and people isn’t—was never—about saving the world from starvation.
It was about making money for the “elites,” big pharma who will provide the “medicines” for the people after the GM foods make them sick (like Type II diabetes and asthma medications); it’s about multinational corporations, monopolizing agriculture, and population control.

They’ve learned about the elite and their government from the Internet; learned about them by listening and reading and researching what the elite have written and said and done. There are hints now on the web about the “need” for a second Internet—one for the elites and one for the Unwashed.
Too late.
The Unwashed have already left their barns and headed for the electronic archives. They already know our electeds are elitist slaves who throw cow patties at one another for the public’s entertainment while they pass bills they’re paid not to read, written for them by a faceless stable of elite lawyers probing for ways around the Constitution.
The elites respond they’re open in what they do.
Really? Then why is it they still meet in secret? Behind locked doors? In guarded villas or gated resorts? On yachts? Always with restricted access and publicity blackouts?

Things like these and their money are their aphrodisiacs. And they’ve siphoned Gates into the bowls of their ship because of his money; because people listen when people like Gates talks. And when he talks, they want him talking about The Agenda. Like Obama. Like Dubya. Like Clinton. Like GHW.
Informed people do not make good slaves. They’re too demanding; too discerning. The poor, who mow lawns and clean commodes—who don’t have access—are still content with what they’re given. They rarely complain and are perfect for the would-be rulers of the 21st Century.

Elites define themselves with their money, “power,” and genetic entitlements—noblesse oblige—not as citizens of a Constitutional Republic with a Bill of Rights for protection against people like them.
Elites are why America’s founders left England.
History and The Bible say schemes to control the world don’t work.

this statement doesn't hold up in the light of facts witnessed in the indian sub-continent so far:

Gates said, “This global effort to help small farmers is endangered by an ideological wedge that threatens to split the movement in two. On one side is a technological approach that increases productivity. On the other side is an environmental approach that promotes sustainability. It's a false choice, and it's dangerous for the field.”

despite gates' noble efforts a doing something honourable with his gajillions, the real motivation of monsanto and others is not a helping hand in feeding their fellow man- but profits. unless things have changed considerably, the seed bought with loans from these agri-giants is designed to self-destruct - plants don't produce usable seed for following seasons as has always been practiced by subsistence farmers. they find themselves ever deeper in dept and some must sell their offspring or meager parcels to pay off loans. tens of thousands of peasant farmers have committed suicide to date as far as i know.

this blood, too, is on the karmic hands of the stockholders and in the bellies of the families that partake of such profits - along with all profits derived from pain, suffering, destruction and death.

As a beekeeper I have written extensively on this issue...both of the observable effects of Monsantos GM pollen and Bayers imidacloprid seed treatment on honeybees and other insect species. When the neighbors corn is three inches high tin the spring some bees die and the rest simply sit there on the landing board for weeks as a result of Bayers poison....by the time they have recovered for the fall honeyflow they experience the second setback from Monsanto bT containing corn pollen. This year the bees will require extra feeding just to get through the winter months...needless to say they produced no surplus. Besides the unknown consequences on human food supplies there will be an already proven impact on the natural world.

To bill gates, I have three words for you....
Colony Collapse Disorder.

So does Bill Gates eat GM foods?

Are you kidding me?
A corpo-nerd at the top of your pyramid?
How about him funding his own American hungry, poor, homeless:

The system that made him rich made them poor.

Bloviate as you may: Thats the truth.

The human body has evolved to be able to ingest and utilize natural plants, including those which have been cultivated by us. To consume artificially 'designed' plants is to play Russian Roulette. Most of us don't want to do that and anyone who would force us has to be a criminal.

Why do RICH people HATE US???!!! Shall we count the ways we are being killed ! War, GM food, contaminated environment, viruses, poverty, obesity, drugs, cigarettes, alcohol.

5 dancing Israelis arrested on 911 in NYC demand the US start & fight more wars for Israel.

So far, no one here has mentioned the REAL danger of GM foods, namely, the unintended (well maybe not) consequences of actually EATING the GM foods. When the gene gun shoots the foreign gene into the target, this crude technique cannot select WHERE in the DNA the spliced gene will eventually reside. This WHERE is critical in that the various ORDERS of the genes result in various and UNPREDICTABLE outcomes in the ultimate nutritional value or lack of same in the "food" which is the end product. The unintended additional consequences of the technique obviously will alter the plant DNA, but additionally alter the reaction in the gut and entire body of the beings ingesting the resulting "food". Credible evidence from a variety of sources has shown that animals, when given a choice, will avoid GM foods. Lab rats fed a GM diet fail to thrive and while they can continue to reproduce, their babies die before maturity. In the human population that consumes the products, it has been shown that serious food allergies have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels in recent years due to the intestinal "climate change" produced by trying to digest the "food". The changed DNA of the "food" impacts the natural intestinal bacteria, creating more inflammatory conditions, not only in the stomach and bowel, but in the entire body -- even affecting our own DNA. When the GM foods such as soy, corn, rice, beets, etc. are avoided, these deleterious effects subside. Problem is, GM foods in the USA are not labeled, organic food is expensive, tracking effects from the farm to the doctor's office takes years so, like the issue with cigarettes and cell phones or towers, it will be DECADES before the evidence is clear and convincing that GM foods are dangerous. Meanwhile, millions will suffer and die while Monsanto and others fatten their bottom line.

The Fact That Bill Gates would try to push dangerous Genetically Modified food is criminal. Scientists worldwide are opposed as most of North America is to GM Food.

Our governments refuse to label GM Food, and there is a growing rebellion.

That is why Organic food is in such demand and is growing fast; it does not contain GM Food, nor the excessive antibiotics, and pesticides.

GM Food does not produce more food, has not been proven safe by long term testing, is leading to new disease, ends up using increasing amounts of roundup and other poisons, and destroys the soil..
Shame on you Bill Gates!!

damixaustex said: "Humans have been genetically modifying plants since we first cultivated them thousands of years ago".

What the biotech giants are doing today is not at all what people have been doing for millenia. In the past people improved crops by breeding stronger varieties using the plant's OWN gene pool to improve upon it's predessors. So if, for example, one wanted plants that were resistant to pests they would look for those few in a type of plant that survived an onslaught of some pestilence. Those are the ones they would breed from. If they wanted bigger fruit they would look for fruit that were t he largest and use the seeds from those for the next year's planting. Today guys in laboratories are inserting the genes of one species into the gene pool of a completely different species. Things like the genes of insects and fish and mammals put into plants because they like a particular trait. Problem is that gene belongs in, because it evolved in, that particular species. Also the old idea of one gene = one function is out the window. Scientists now know that the genome is a much more interelated and complex thing. These guys are playing around with nature like it was their personal toy.

tommym asked: "Why doesn't this RAW article mention and critically assess the specific danger in GM crops that one so often reads about, namely that many of these products (particularly the ones foisted on farmers by Monsanto Corp, which is said to be partnering with Gates on much of this) don't produce seeds that can be used to replant for the next season, at the end of their fruition cycle? That one is forced to buy again and again, year after year, thus putting sustainability at the mercy of Agri-Business?"

Monsanto claims not to be doing sterile seed technology (a.k.a. Terminator seeds) anymore, theough they have been waffling on that recently. What they've been doing is making farmers that want to use their seeds sign an agreement that they will not replant them the next year. If they are caught doing so Monsanto comes down on them like a ton of bricks legally speaking. Thus they have sued many hundreds of farmers. the problem again is that these plants often grow from ones that were left over in a farmer's field from the previous growing season and then spread their genes via pollen. Also pollen from a GM field can easily contaminate the non-GM crops of a field that don't grow them unbeknownst to the farmer. Monsanto then claims that the farmer "stole" their "intellectual property" and sues. It's a huge issue.

Why do farmers continue to buy Monsanto's products with this kind of potential for trouble? Because, unfortunately, many of them are lazy and greedy. If they use Monsanto's crops they don't have to do any tilling or weeding as do conventional farmers. They just use Monsanto's (coincidentally) own herbicide product, Roundup, and spray right on top of the crops, that we then eat, with toxic chemicals. Kills the weeds without killing the crops. That's been GM's main "benefit" since 1996 when GM food were first commercially grown. It's nothing more than a techno-gimmick that has held on due to overwheming marketing and pressure from Monsanto. You want to get away from them, eat organic.

You are woefully uninformed. It has nothing to do with a political 'side' of an issue. It has to do with the Greed of Monsanto. Do a little research on how Mexico and Canada feel about GM crops? And by that I mean, the farmers who have been unlucky enough to have their own farms next to these GM experimental farm fields. Do some more research on how the farmers in India have been effected by the GM crops that were supposed to HELP them but instead created a huge load of debt upon the farmers. The only way many farmers saw their way out of it was suicide. It is all over the web, if you actually are curious about the truth.

Feed them obese americans, kill 2 birds with one stone.

Bill Gates, career criminal from cradle to grave. Seriously, this guy has been on the wrong side of the law from his days at Seattle's exclusive Lakeside School for Boys to Harvard (from which he was reportedly nearly expelled) to Microsoft to the Gates Foundation - an investment firm masquerading as a philanthropy.

Read my comments on Gates' war against environmentalists at http://blog.billysoft.org/2009/10/bill-gates-wi...

Too good to be true? You bet.

As a former Seattle teacher, I saw the hypocrisy of Bill Gates' campaign to reforme education, which is in reality a campaign to exploit schools. The LA Times revealed the truth about the Gates Foundation: It's an investment firm masquerading as a philanthropy.

So, in this era of rampant corporate corruption, how can people be so willing to believe that there are no strings attached to Bill Gates' "Green Revolution"? Bill Gates + biotech equals a danger greater than that posed by any terrorist. Gates needs to be stopped.

Is this true?

I'm not defending Monsanto, believe me, but they are capable of making plants with viable seed.

.
Some are, and those seeds produce plants with "genetic markers" that are "owned" by Monsanto.. and the contracts stipulate that you can't grow crops from seeds from plants, even if you manage to get some.. So, if you don't provide CONTRACTS for EVERY YEAR you have PLANTS, Monsanto can charge you with THEFT and steal your crops (or have them burned down).

The effect, in the end, is the same.

Yeah, that's problem. Their lawyers go and look for areas where drift has caused enough hybridization in nearby farms to approach them and force a contract. True, it sucks and needs to be addressed. But again, it's the behavior of one (of many) company.

gmo crops for feeding the hungry and battling poverty - good.
gmo crops for increasing gluttonous corporate profits or dominating a global market segment - bad.

It's the same ethics dilemma we face with any other decisions and new technologies. The fears surrounding this one are well founded given the track record of the players (monsanto, cargill, etc).

Gates is right, there's a false ideological question to place environmentalists opposite increased production, but given the ethics demonstrated by some of these global companies, the wedge is well positioned.
Can Gates assure us that Monsanto and Cargill won't try to control the worlds food supply with gm? no. Should that stop gmo research and production, no.

Humans have been genetically modifying plants since we first cultivated them thousands of years ago. The simple act of saving seeds is a form of genetic modification; you select the best plants.
It wasn't until the gene splicing techniques came along that anyone feared gm, and for good reason. There are companies out there who have no less than global domination of the food supply in their sights.
The point is this, genetic modification and corporate ethics of new technology are two different questions. It sure seems efforts like those sponsored by the Gates foundation will provide balance. We're going to be debating genetic ethics for a couple of generations. I'm glad Mr. Gates is at the table on this one.

.
"Humans have been genetically modifying plants since we first cultivated them thousands of years ago. The simple act of saving seeds is a form of genetic modification; you select the best plants."

But that's using natural processes to form other "natural" plants. GM isn't just about patents, it's about the processes that fundamentally change the "nature" of the plants into something "non-natural", and not all that digestible or safe in our "natural bodies".

Well, savanster, we disagree. I never buy into the notion that what humans do is unnatural. Who are you to judge that gene splicing isn't natural? People do it, people are natural...

It's necessary to give some thought to that in order to keep the discussion in the realm of ethical behavior.

I agree with you wholeheartedly on Monsanto. I have enough relationship to ag industry that I see what the patent thing does to these corporations. I followed their foray into seed production and their efforts to take over Brazil's production. They have been a really bad global citizen and deserve harsh criticism.

But, Gates foundation ius trying to tackle the issue of world hunger once and for all. I used to be a person who despised the guy with his predatory practices, but Gates foundation is doing some pretty cool stuff. I think it's important to keep an eye on them while supporting the efforts. With his money plus Buffets money, they really could do some good.

.
cross polinization is "natural" because it happens without human intervention. Removing DNA from one thing and injecting it into something else so that tomorrow it is something fundamentally different than it was yesterday does not happen in "nature", the "natural" process is evolution, and drastic changes in genetic lines takes millions of years, not an afternoon.

Saying "people do it so it's natural" bastardizes the entire set of concepts. Guns aren't natural, but you assert they are because people made them. Go out in "nature" and find me a "gun" that just happened to be.

In fact, there is so much of a stipulation as the differences between "man made" and "naturally occurring" that you can't patent nature. You have to fundamentally alter it somehow if you want to patent it.

It's semantics, to a degree. But what we do to plants in GMing them is not "natural", it's creating a "man made" result that you don't [currently] find in nature. It's outside of the slow evolutionary process that has built the ecosystems we rely on today.

I have about 50 species of edible plants in my garden. Only about three are naturally occurring, to my knowledge. The rest have been hybridized by people through cross pollination, selection, tissue culture and other means of genetic manipulation. Even the "heirloom" collection includes varieties that were selected for their special characteristics.

If we can increase, say, soy yields by 60% "in an afternoon" , why not?
If Ireland could have solved the potato blight in an afternoon, should they have?

The reason for pondering the natural vs unnatural question is to get past the idea of whether we should manipulate our food crops. We already do, already have.
We have to accept that we will have genetically modified foods. It's inevitable.

What we don't have to accept is a purely profit motivation by corporations that leads to the zany, greedy patents and legal maneuvers to "secure" market share. We also don't have to accept whacky fertile plants that could escape and change surrounding plant life.

.
"The rest have been hybridized by people through cross pollination, selection, tissue culture and other means of genetic manipulation."

trait manipulation is not genetic manipulation. you are not forcing anything into the plant that might not supposed to be there because "cross pollination" doesn't break DNA strains by force.

"The reason for pondering the natural vs unnatural question is to get past the idea of whether we should manipulate our food crops."

I disagree. It may seem that way to some, but to me, the idea is that if it's a "natural" process, it's MUCH less likely to be "dangerous".. "unnatural", or man-altered via technology, opens us up to all kinds of unforeseen consequences; to me, that just means we need to use the same ideas that let us break that DNA, science and testing and verifying.

"If we can increase, say, soy yields by 60% "in an afternoon" , why not?"

If we can do it SAFELY, and in a way that doesn't cause other problems, I agree with you.. why not? .... BUT, that is the entire point, right there. it must be safe, it must not cause harm to the rest of the ecosystem. And we know that by testing, not going "well, it didn't blow up! eat it!".

I'm a huge technophile. I have a deep understanding and appreciation for science. But I also have a reverent respect for how quickly things can go wrong, or how badly things can go wrong if we're not careful with our application of science.

We seem to be mostly agreed. GM food doesn't have to be "bad", but in our current "who cares who it kills, I want money!" culture with our current GM crops, this isn't the right way to proceed. Bill Gates, the monopolistic law breaker for profits, worries me when he wants to basically own food like he owns computers.
