Jason Triplett- we should be concerned when man begins to play god...
123abcbruce- It is odd that Organic products have to be labelled and certified when they are the more natural method.It could just be called growing food and it would be exactly the same thing. It is, after all, what I do in my own backyard!Yet, using pesticides, GMO's, using fossil based fertilizers, which is the less natural way of growing food doesn't need labeling.So people have to be told that something is grown more naturally but GMO's don't have to be labelled?The lack of transparency is just another reason why I don't want to support the GMO industry.Sure labeling GMO's may loose some market share, but stand up, be honest and stand behind your product. That's the kind of industry I want to support.-----In a few years the Arctic apple will come on the market. IT will be obvious to everyone by the name. Those that want it will buy it and those that don't won't. That's how GMO marketing should be done!Thank you Canada!
Tim Hark- This guy just wants to keep industrialized farming in the "up and running" mode. He has nothing that is beneficial for lasting food sustainability. This type of farming easily leads to famine.
Tony Davies- Unfortunately he is wrong on many of his claims. Just one example --there is no evidence that GM genes move from the food to your bacteria in your gut. And even if he was correct then this is what happens when you eat anything. GM genes are nearly always in the environmental in any case. Bt genes are naturally in food in the form of bacteria. This person is an ignorant man who hasn't really educated himself. That is what ignorant means - not educated about what you are talking about.Activists often assume that GM genes are innately dangerous. The opposite is true - they are innately not plus they have been tested the most of any genes we eat.
BlÖsLProductions- GMO farmers are just lazy. They don't rotate their crops, which depletes nutrients. They don't properly fertilize their crops, but use chemicals that destroy living microorganisms and worms that are responsible for producing vibrant soil with high-nutrient levels. They also are encouraged, at each step including harvest itself, to spray their crops with the compatible pesticide that the plant has been bio-engineered for. These pesticides get absorbed into the root system, and unintentionally kill many bugs and microorganisms, both helpful and harmful, causing a huge disruption in the natural ecosytem. The truth is this: GMO science is very one-sided and always portrays GMOs in a positive light. The problem we have now is that soils are becoming degenerated with each generation of GMO farmers, and our weather is going to get worse in the future with factors like climate change and pollution. We gotta get people farming their own crops again, then they'll see the importance in subsistence living, especially when it comes to dietary needs.

Sebastian S- However did he get on this stage? Not only is he wrong about basically everything he says but he doesn't provide any references. The things he says about pesticides is actually an argument in favour of genetic engineering because GMO has reduced the need for pesticides.
emancoy .- The improper use of antibiotics is the cause of antibiotic resistant bacteria, somehow this guy links it to GMO crops that doesn't produce antibiotics?
Tim Fulton- He has no evidence. The gene transfer to bacteria is not a proven link and the antibiotics in rivers is a speculation, more likely to be caused by the mishandling of antibiotics and inappropriate use! Not GMOs.The pesticide thing is a flawed argument where the use of GMOs has reduced the pesticide use and this is also true for the HT crops. Infact, the resistance is just as likely to arrive in Non-GM crops as GM crops, the cause is the chemical, not the transgene. He may be an 'expert' but he doesn't appear to be able to give citation or any evidence to support these claims.
Rick Remington- Weed Glyphosate resistance a real problem, i.e. more and more use on crops. We all have blood levels of glyphosate way above even what Monsanto recommends. Read up on its toxicity http://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/15/4/1416
Greg Gasiorowski- Retirement seems to have been a good option for this guy, anyone who incessantly speaks of biotechnology as "magic" may have missed their calling in life, perhaps being a priest or mystic alchemist might have been a better path to have taken. :-D
The Hummingbird Project- "This is a thoughtful talk on the dangers of genetic engineering. Dr. Vrain, former head of research science at Agriculture Canada, is a biologist and a soil scientist. He speaks with clarity and great concern about where agriculture created by chemical companies is taking us, and why fundamental assumptions in the science are outdated and flawed" ~ Paul HawkenThe Gene Revolution, The Future of Agriculture: Dr. Thierry Vrain at TEDxComoxValley
htomerif- 95 percent of the people in the world thought this was good. Pretty much agrees with 95 percent of people in the world being stupid.Here's a lesson for the stupid people: how to spot a fraud.1) All sorts of 'scientific' claims are made without a single citation. In this video he talks about all of these scientific studies finding 'anomalous' proteins in GM crops. That would be pretty important, if he took the 3 seconds it would take to back it up.2) Anonymous name dropping. Several times through this video he makes mention of 'they' and 'them', a nameless scientist in Scotland, anonymous scientists apparently everywhere in europe who have made serious, disturbing findings of the toxicity of GM foods.3) Assertion without evidence. The mainstay of the morally bankrupt, he just says stuff and expects you to believe it. "every gene codes for more than one protein". really. This assertion would be a lot more valuable if he had NAMED ONE. Just one would have gone a long way towards making this statement believable.You people who think this is good, that what this man is spewing you should be eating, you should be ashamed of yourselves for being so willfully ignorant, so blindly credulous.
TheMabes69- I thought Mr. Obama was going to fight against Monsanto...oh, wait a minute...
gary mann- the main concern is that gmo crops will change our genes.what if those genes manifest in our bodies .altered genes are going to change our bodies also.what if people start growing insect legs or have body modifications due to altered genes ?this is irreversible damage .why are'nt scientists talking about this ?
Larry Jennings- Good luck with your theories. I'm going to continue to farm and do things my way. Worked out great for me so far. So when you're hungry go beg Monsanto for your food. Your choice.
Larry Jennings- Fools try to beat Mother Nature. Don't worry. Monsanto will get theirs in the end. I for one don't buy anything that contains their trash. And I'm still waiting for the ladies of blackwater to come down my driveway. Bet it won't happen or it will happen once.

Peopleofunity- Hello people, I had to stop this talk after about 35secs, this guy is promoting herbicides, GM crops, and the destruction of nature. Promoting cooperative governense of nature for profit. I'm very surprised to see this on TEDx, it's quite shocking. GM's DON'T work, they start failing within several years, cause sterility in most, if not all, consumers (human &animal); increase the need for herbicides. Farmers have to buy they're seeds & herbicides from the cooperations every season to grow their crop - because of the patents these cooperations hold........patents on nature.....scary. THIS HAS TO STOP! The biodiversity of our planet has been under threat for some time, but this is a final death nail.
Steve J Davis, RYT, LMT, BCTMB- Dr. Thierry Vrain says in the audio interview (54 minutes) below, Glyphosate is very dangerous and this should be the main focus now, along with GMO's. Glyphosate, marketed as Roundup, is extremely dangerous and destructive to all life on the planet, including humans. It destroys the Human Microbiome. Be sure and listen to the entire interview with him, from May 2014. http://foodintegritynow.org/.../dr-thierry-vrain-former.../

Daniel Ganszky- Couple points I would like to raise here. Lateral gene transfer (or horizontal) is indeed transferring genetic material within generation. However plans are not capable to do this. If you create a GM cops you can use Agrobacterium which uses horizontal gene transfer (see Crown Gall disease) but these bacteria are not present when you plant your GM seed and plants are not able to horizontally transfer their genes. Think. Evolution. If you introduce a trait (gene) into a crop for instance that is beneficial (pathogen resistant gene) then why not have it? Scientists are not introducing genes into plants that are not beneficial for the plant itself. (Even if they would evolution would take care of it. Traits that are not useful disappear.) At least not with GM technology. Previous technologies were crossing plants often from other species hoping that the gene if their interest (often a single gene) will end up in the progeny. In this case what happens is that they shuffle entire genomes around or areas of the genome around. It is very hard to predict what comes out of that and what other genes (not your gene of interest) are transferred. Why not clearly and precisely take one gene of your interest and insert it to your plants genome. Doesn’t that sound clearer? Also, there are many examples indeed when pathogens overcome these genetically modified plant resistances. Phytophthora infestans would be a good example. But this is evolution. And constantly ongoing evolutionary arms race between plants and pathogens. It is exactly like antibiotics. Scientists are in a competition with bacteria to create antibiotics that will destroy bacteria and bacteria are constantly trying to evolve to gain resistance to these antibiotics. Is it not worth spending time and money on antibiotics then? There are many examples when a pathogen overcomes a newly introduced resistance gene. But how many successful examples are there when it doesn’t? GM has obvious benefits over previous farming techniques.It is an ongoing battle to fight of pathogens, may that be a nematode, a bacteria an oomycete or weeds or aphids whatever. But GM crops offers a clearer, better, environmentally friendly solution to fight against pathogens, to increase yield of crops which we desperately need and to reduce the damage we are causing with all he chemical we use on our fields. Organic solutions are the best, obviously. But we can’t afford to use them. With a growing population and a growing demand for food. It doesn’t have a high enough yield ,simple is that.
