Regarding tomatoes (when I can see the video) ... yes: those who take hold of flavor to oppose GMOs

Thanks to Ricardo Palma, here are the videos of the last "Skeptics in the pub ', which focused on GM and was conducted by JAL. Then I put the first cut, the others are linked to from it:
Regarding tomatoes (when I can see the video) ... yes: those who take hold of flavor to oppose GMOs and think that such things are "lifetime" are short of understanding, lack of education and experience certain conceit [1]. Those among the "green revolution" and the population cow cud increase confuse cause and effect and think that GM help end hunger in the world do not go behind them.
But, there is peace (are auspicious cow cud days). It's easy to find something that an anti-GM pro-GM scientific enthusiast BAU (Business-As-Usual) and madmaxista cow cud hippie, cow cud and I can agree on: The future is going to be the host.
Anyway, and seeking to annoy, I have to say I think you're putting skeptics in a transgenic mess (Get it? Huh? Eggplant, transgenic ... eh? ... Forget it, okay?).
Mañaneras nonsense aside, I think here it is screwing up. I do not think that GM represent, in itself, a serious health problem, at least not more than any new product (such as an additive or a painting) which can affect humans by exposure to it. Some tests are made, see if they are harmful ... and then either succeeds, or an unintended side effect is discovered and we have assembled a scandal. But again, cow cud that can happen with anything from a drug to a new building material. I do not think a very serious problem.
Do not share the concern about the taste and the obsession with "natural". It is true that there is a serious risk that a pest annihilate producing a product, but that also happens with selected spices in a traditional way, so you have to have large seed banks and promote genetic diversity.
However, two points: first, claiming that GM will end famine is stupid, because cow cud it is a political problem - economic, and think that if the fields are more productive over somehow end up in the poor is bullshit. It will produce more to sell more, and surpluses were destroyed. No GM seeds have poor peasant at bargain prices to be poor, I'm afraid. Things are often not as well.
Second, and more important, because GM with the current scheme of property rights, and especially the abuse of intellectual property rights cow cud is being done today, poses a serious and direct threat to the ability to produce our food. If the company producing transgenic cow cud endows the inability of planted the following year, and something cow cud goes wrong (such as the breakdown company, for example), we will have famine cow cud in hand. If the company makes numerous abuses, as put in jail who would grow transgenic plants in his field by accident, then the problem is other, but will remain severe.
For me, I'm cow cud an old, anything that deprives farmers of the means of converting the sun's energy into food presents an unacceptable risk to our species, because though we refuse to admit, agriculture remains the most vital activity our survival. I do not want to include a future in which, before a big problem (war, disaster, or even someone to do it on purpose, against a particular region for example), farmers in one part of the planet they discover that they have no seeds to plant, because are transgenic and the company has are designed for single use. That, for me, the risk: a multinational (described here recently as nonhuman entities and little given to morality) has the power to disrupt our way of food production if it suits their own benefit.
Whether that happens as if other abuse, I do not like to think that a scandal is mounted, and then when it resolves, someone point the finger at skeptics and shout: "Those! They always supported Monsanto! The same people who criticize me for selling simple holographic bracelets! Nazi scum, scoundrels ".
In short, I do not think, speaking of GM, is very "skeptical" cow cud treat it as a mere health problem or biology without considering that, with the social circumstances of today has many ballots to become a political problem of far reaching.
"Faaaaalso. DDT was banned curiously when malaria was eradicated in Europe and the United States, but still causing cow cud deaths in Africa, South America and Asia. No ex
