The media folks are often no more educated on a specific subject than a 4th grader that just spent 10 minutes on Whatever-pedia. Unfortunately, blind followers think of them as well educated specialists. Oprah can affect a 10% market swing with an off the cuff remark. Their level of influence is absolutely scarey.

The courts took on the issue in an attempt to simply have food labeled "Contains GMO". It was defeated and the prime reason the corporations gave was that the cost to relabel would be passed to the consumer... Really? They change labels every GD week. Look at cereal box's for Christ sake. Total BS. Stay off the aisles and you'll stay heathy.

Look at cereal box's for Christ sake. Total BS. Stay off the aisles and you'll stay heathy. What would it accomplish to label everything "Contains GMO's"? All the ingredients are already on the labels If people were smart enough to learn the facts, they would know if the ingredients are GMO or not

if it said "contains GMO's" fewer would buy it thus hurting their profits. I am for labeling. Something will happen to Oz to shut him up more than likely.

The whole issue is frankly, moronic.

From what I've seen, most of the anti-GMO crowd really has no idea what they are.

Got news for you all. If you eat anything with corn or soybeans in it, you been eating GMO material to a certain extent. Doesn't count other fruits/vegetables, that can be classified as "herbicide resistant" to one chemical or another.
Also includes rootworm, cornborer, cyst nematode resistant.... and the list goes on.

If everybody is concerned about GMOs you will never eat anything that has corn products in it. GMOs are nothing more than a way to make a plant grow healthier and produce more. It helps reduce the need for chemicals which to me is alot safer and better for you. The people who are against GMOs don't really understand what they are against.

That's ok. I've been in the seed sales industry for close to 40 yrs. Started in Feb. 1974. I've seen it all. Roundup ready soybeans hit the market back in circa 1994. 96%+ of all the corn and beans produced in the US are GMO. Not to mention that the pork, beef, chickens and most other meats have been fed GMO feedstuffs for years. It will continue for a LONG time. Lest you think will game is free from this, deer, squirrels rabbits, birds etc. also eat leftover grain from the fields.

Been in the growing dirt busniess most of my life. Last year in Pendelton Or. they found some GMO winter wheat that was not suppose to be there. Monsanto had some test plots in the area but said it was not theirs. Cost alot of money because some of the exporters got gun shy about wheat from that area. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...anto-s-rogue-wheat-wends-across-prairies

GMO corn means that farmers can eliminate Atrazine in their corn. Atrazine has shown up in drinking water all over the country and it lasts a long time. Roundup might not be perfect but it's a lot better than the alternatives.

He and Dr. Phil can thank Oprah for their "success".
And, Oz is rolled out as a rock star, all prettied up to look cool and attractive to his large audience of women. It's promo/marketing at it's best.
Oz criticizes the panel of doctors who criticize him, saying they have connections with GMO companies. That's the pot calling the kettle black, for sure.
The "Wizard of Oz" and this Oz, have a lot in common. Illusions, both. Marketing and money.
Oz has stepped over the line with his snake oil weight loss stuff, no doubt. Columbia University needs to be very careful of who they endorse as a faculty member, they have their standing as a medical school to protect. Oz has to be an embarrassment to them.
