The Myth Of Milk?

[paulsinghnl]

If you don't like it don't buy it. That's capitalism.

However it doesn't have a built in pesticide if by pesticide you mean a poison. Some plants are more susceptible to draught or certain diseases. Others not. For generations farmers have been selecting plants that have the best characteristics: see corn, rice, wheat, etc... Sometimes you have plants that have the same ancestry and humans in different areas, by selecting different characteristics, created quite different seeming plants: for example broccoli and cauliflower.

How can you be appalled by people coming up with new draught and disease resistance plants?

yeah but that's already the past man. they're genetically and synthetically altering the foods, you're messing with nature, ok cauliflower and broccoli, good ones. but potatoes cause cancer? hello?! milk with hormones? chicken with hormones? do u know chicken is injected with so much salty water u can get a 35% chicken at some markets?

yes there is of course a good side, and i'm thankful for that, i'm talking about the negative side effects that are harming people, you know what i mean? i mean, Milk isnt supposed to harm people, neither is chicken, potatoes?

thats what i mean.

well its more so there is a type of potato that is resistant to the potato beetle but mc donalads uses only one kind of potato so monsanto genetically combined the 2 kinds of potato's to give a potato that mc donalds likes with a plant thats resistant to the potato beetle

when what they really should be doing is diversifying the kinds of potatoes they use.

I couldn't agree with you more. I don't have a problem genetic modification but planting acre after acre with one crop is simply asking for big-time problems.

There's a difference between using growth hormones and genetically altering food. Now you realize that farmers who selectively breed their crops are genetically altering that crop. We speed things up when we do it in a lab but how is that, in and of itself, bad?

People worry that about the new crop "taking over" when introduced into the wild. We suffer from that every day. All sorts of plants and animals have been introduced into environments where they have no natural preditors and they become major nuisances.

Going back to the topic at hand, I think that genetically modified food is simply speeding up the process. There are good results and bad results but I don't think that negates the value of genetically modified plants.

I read that the Dutch people are the tallest people in the world.....and it is because of their consumption of Milk and cheese.

I don't understand why milk would be bad when it is our first food as a baby. I give my kids the Organic whole milk kind.......if I listen to most of you and convince me to stop giving them milk....they have a big chance of not growing into their full potential. JMHO.

im wonderin, because i plan on going a month without milk as a test, it's been 5 days and im in need of an excuse that will prove milk is good for you so i dont have to, so far every dr. says it's overrated

[Chups]

The doctor is a bit of an idiot....first he claims Cow's milk is different from human milk and that it's purpose is for calves only (not intended for humans)........then he fed it to mice and claims it causes them cancer. So mice milk is closer to human milk then? Get it? What a dumb ass.
