What is the process required to get GMO foods approved?Tero wrote:Food and drugs. When transgenic products are used. GMO foods are not studied well enough before launch.
How would you change it?
Why should this apply to GMO products and not every product?

Re: When more regulation is better
Europe has a process. The US does not. The foods are simply launched. The lots can be tested. As long as known pesticides and herbicides are at approved leveks, no problem. I have some more detai here. They are never studied as well as drugs.

About the only rule we have is labeling in stores. Makers choose to label only non GMO foods:

Re: When more regulation is better
The herbicide has never has never been even tested in the US. Safety sheet is only for the active component

and not the formulated product, with additives to make it penetrate tissues.

Re: When more regulation is better
Because they have ingredients (Bt, a bacterial protein) that are not food as we know it. Foods that were invented by selective breeding or other means involving plants are derived from genes from that species. We have been eating them for thousands of years. The breeding simply gave bigger corn, bigger crops of starch or oil. The same starch and oil we ate before. There are no new proteins either. Allergy to wheat is to natural wheat proteins. No surprises.Why should this apply to GMO products and not every product?
I thought this was obvious. I know you folks are not Trump voters, but who didn't know the truth about Monsanto trickery? They have manipulated agencies for years and even the EPA downplays hazards of roundup.

Re: When more regulation is better
Yeah, the real unknown is transgenic modification. That sort of stuff needs much greater regulation and data.

Feed it to the Somalis, they'll eat anything. Give it to them for free, it beats selling a kidney. Check them out in a couple of years. Nothing like real-world data, you know.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Bacterial protein is not food? Ever had yoghurt?Tero wrote:Because they have ingredients (Bt, a bacterial protein) that are not food as we know it.Why should this apply to GMO products and not every product?
Not so simple. Selective breeding can introduce new compounds, and introduce new levels of existing compounds. I dare you to eat a Jamaican Scorpion Chili.Foods that were invented by selective breeding or other means involving plants are derived from genes from that species. We have been eating them for thousands of years. The breeding simply gave bigger corn, bigger crops of starch or oil. The same starch and oil we ate before.
Incorrect. New strains of grains are being produced by 'conventional' selective breeding that contain higher levels of essential amino acids. A good thing, but it disproves that new proteins are not being introduced.There are no new proteins either. Allergy to wheat is to natural wheat proteins. No surprises.
Cut out the "guilty by association" argument.I thought this was obvious. I know you folks are not Trump voters, but who didn't know the truth about Monsanto trickery?
Just because one can accept that GMO has a place, does not mean we have anything to do with Monsanto or any other AgriBiz. Yes, there is no question they have to be tested carefully, but that applies equally to other new products introduced into the market.

You haven't been eating corn for thousands of years, Native South and Central Americans have. And they haven't been eating Wheat or Rice for thousands of years, only a few hundred. Potatoes, where are they from again
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

What's that got to do with transgenics?

Re: When more regulation is better
There are lots of people in the world that can’t eat everything. But when you get wheat bread or a glass of milk you know insrantly what it is and whether you can eat it. When there are hidden genes and proteins you do not.

There are some people who can't eat anything. Like Ethiopians.
