Rice diet deficiency Videos

The problems are that the natives didn't just eat rice, they ate leafy greens,+ other foods, feeding someone only rice would never give them vit. C either. A rounded diet is the best for humans. We started down this road by killing the small farmer, the ones that ate a variety of foods, and started thinking, just hand them a staple and be done with it. So Of Course they are unhealthy, because you can't live only on one food item. Get back to more foods, and you do away with the need of a GMO

hello, what plant/bacteria are the genes extracted from?

We’ve all seen that comment, “Monsanto has done more to end world hunger than any of you”, but that slogan is not based on sound science; rather it’s the result of a $50 million dollar ad campaign launched after a Time magazine cover story christened GMO food as “Grains of Hope” on Aug 7, 2000. Thumbnail credit: gmo-awareness.com After reading deeper and doing some research, it becomes clear that GMO crops are not solving the world’s hunger problems, contrary to Monsanto’s claims on it’s website that they are working to “mitigate hunger once and for all.” Further reading of the Op-Ed by Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant titled ‘Let’s End World Hunger’ reveals nothing but empty rhetoric and the push for CEOs and NGOs to work together with governments in the third world to gift away the problem of world hunger by making more charitable donations from rich people to governments. The Monsanto CEO doesn’t even mention his products when talking about ending world hunger, because he knows there is no real science to back up these marketing tactics. An in-depth paper from MIT about solving world hunger in 2014 came to this conclusion about GMO crops: “Other technologies available have fewer scientific unknowns, less possibility of forming cycles of farmer debt, and have led to equally significant reductions in hunger. Integrated pest management, organic farming, and other improved farming practices may increase yields just as effectively as would introducing transgenic organisms. As such, we will not promote their widespread use until more research has been done on long term health effects, GMO seeds are available outside of corporate agriculture control, the biological effects of gene insertion are better understood, and research confirms that the presence of GMOs will not harm the native species in an ecosystem.” The anti-science rhetoric that is hatched up in biotech marketing departments is beginning to come under scrutiny as Monsanto’s ‘Golden Rice’, which was supposed to prevent blindness in 350,000 children and prevent the premature death of 1 million more, has all but failed to deliver on all of it’s promises. As John Robbins at the Huffington Post brilliantly puts it: “For one thing, we’ve learned that golden rice will not grow in the kinds of soil that it must to be of value to the world’s hungry. To grow properly, it requires heavy use of fertilizers and pesticides — expensive inputs unaffordable to the very people that the variety is supposed to help. And we’ve also learned that golden rice requires large amounts of water — water that might not be available in precisely those areas where Vitamin A deficiency is a problem, and where farmers cannot afford costly irrigation projects. And one more thing — it turns out that golden rice doesn’t work, even in theory. Malnourished people are not able to absorb Vitamin A in this form. And even if they could, they’d have to eat an awful lot of the stuff. An 11-year-old boy would have to eat 27 bowls of golden rice a day in order to satisfy his minimum requirement for the vitamin.”

Im an eleven year old kid who agrees compleatly that golden rice will kill more than it will save

Really greenpeace rice that save hundreds of thousands of people from blindness and deafness is bad because of the big bad companies trying to bully the little farmers. You really going play peoples fears like that?

So Greenpeace oppose saving starving children now? The communism is showing through. 

Golden rice was developed as a nonprofit, one of the greatest acts of philanthropy in modern science. It is available without licensing for developing countries and farmers are encouraged to replant seeds. For anyone interested, there is an excellent journal article from Environment and Developmental Economics entitled Economic Power of Golden Rice Opposition (not sure if I can link it). I beg anyone watching this to get as much information available from as many sources as possible and make an informed opinion, whatever that may be. 

lets put this in simple terms: rice = rice rice + vitamin A = rice +1

While I agree that there's nothing inherently wrong with GMOs and that greenpeace are at best idiots (more accurately terrorists), some of the arguments made in favor of GMOs here are so scientifically...wrong (to be polite)...that they could actually benefit the opposition...I'll be nice and not call out the particular person responsible for the majority of the flawed arguments (because I'm sure they know who they are if they bothered to listen to this after they were recorded) but really...if you don't even have a basic understanding of what you're talking about, there's no shame in remaining silent and letting those that do handle the argument...

My one question to that lad would be how can you patent a GMO if they don't know where exactly the modifications are on the DNA.

Yet again another vid by you ruined by your obnoxious moronic abuse of people for being fat. You want to win over hearts and minds, how about not gratuitously offending people? Far from promoting your vids, if you keep doing this I will unsub from your channels. Fwiw youre a shortass prick that this fat bastard could beat the living crap out of but arent we supposed to be the enlightened guys who value intellect, reason and compassion? Cut that mindless bigot shit out that any moron can come up with and use that intelligent mind that you have.

One thing I disagree with is the idea that Greenpeace have "already won". Climate change is still a big issue and illegal hunting is still going on. So I agree that they're dickwads, I just disagree regarding WHY they're dickwads.
