Episode-613- Listener Feedback on Genetically Modified Organisms

GMO Food is Far More Sinister Than Most Realize

The concept of GMO’s (generically modified organisms) is largely misunderstood and I feel somewhat hyped as both overly safe and overly dangerous by both sides of the debate.    Today we dig deeply into this issue to fully understand the dangers of GMO’s including the often missed larger implications and impact on the biosphere and system level life webs.

Also remember today is the last day of our MSB special.  You can get your first year of MSB today for only 30 dollars.  Just join the MSB and use the discount code “positive” and get your first year for only 30 dollars.  See this post for more info on that.

Join me today as we discuss…

  • Is GMO the issue or is what they are spraying on the GMO’s the answer
  • How is a GMO different from a natural hybrid
  • Are GMO’s chemically different from non GMO’s
  • Is there a new micro pathogen connected to GMO’s (I am not sure yet)
  • Are GMOs and their related herbicides linked to breast cancer (a top oncologist thinks so)
  • Will GMO alfalfa cross pollinate and infect other fields, experts say it is a certainty
  • Why may our farmers not be able to ever stop growing GMOs now (anyone else think about this yet)
  • What is “bent grass” why should you care
  • Should we require an IQ test to be a politician (wait till you hear this)
  • Why GMOs threaten us even when they are not “food crops”
  • What is bioaccumulation and how does it move through “trophic” levels
  • How GMOs have an unexpected effect on our ground water, rivers and oceans
  • What the gulf dead zone and why it is expanding

Episode-190- Is a Global Food Shortage Inevitable?

My view is yes, sooner or later it is inevitable due to declines in production and resources and expansion of population.  I also think we should not engage in alarmism at this point either.  Much like peak oil this is a real problem that will get worse but over a rather long period of time, not tomorrow morning.

Today we also briefly discuss the defection of Republican Arlen Spector and we do another swine flu (h1n1) update.

Tune in today to hear…

  • A news caster that should have his ass kicked
  • New swine flu cases in my back yard
  • Don’t take your kid to the doctor if they don’t have any symptoms just to be “checked out” DUH!
  • What we are learning about how people react in a SHTF right now
  • How Spector’s defection is meaningless
  • How politics is like pro wrestling – but it ain’t funny when it comes to our national leaders!
  • 6 of the last 9 years we have failed to meet demand with global grain capacity
  • What global trends are telling us about future food production expectations
  • Why grain is so important to the global food supply
  • Subsidiaries are not new, they are VERY old
  • Why food shortages can only lead to war sooner or later
  • 25% of US grain production will go to bio fuels in 2009
  • The grain used for biofuel could feed a half a billion people in India
  • Why we indeed may face water shortages soon – nothing to do with your Bermuda Grass
  • How we are depleting fossil aquifers
  • The powder keg of the US, Western Europe, India, Russia and China
  • How individual agriculture is the answer, large scale farms can not grow food that way

Episode-101- Monsanto and the Genetically Modified Food Threat

Today’s show is about Monsanto and the Genetically Modified Food Threat.  I wanted to take a day to really inform our listeners about how real the threat of Genetically Modified Food (GMOs) really is.

Tune in today to hear…

  • How the company that brought us PCBs, DDT and Agent Orange and told us they were all “perfectly safe” wants us to “trust them on their word” about GMOs!
  • How Monsanto knowingly poisoned the town of Anniston and are “proud of what they did”
  • The threats posed by “Round Up Ready” Canola and Soy
  • How ancient seeds are now being patented on a first come first serve basis
  • How the ancient of rule of agriculture (you must contain your threats from you neighbors) are being ignored by legal courtroom manipulation by Monsantos legal squad
  • How the issue of patenting life might be the biggest threat we face today
  • How GMO Cotton, Beets and Canola do effect the food supply even if you don’t personally eat them
  • How Monsanto has begun buying up almost all the independent seed companies
  • What you can do about all this, the only real thing you can honestly do!
  • Look at your hands and see your answer to this problem
