this was a good experiment, modifying the rice to have more beta carotene…… but it just so happens that carrots are a great source for beta carotene, no wonder we were always told to eat our carrots as kids– or at least i was.

Do any of you realize that we and our children have all been test subjects for GM foods, without our consent, or any renumeration, since the early 90′s? That is the real travesty. Please see the movie ‘The Future of Food’ by Lily Films to find out the real story so we can all take back at least some part of our rights again! I now avoid soy, corn and canola because of this and there are more products on the market every day. None of them are labeled so that you don’t even know you are eating them-they are in at least 70% of all processed foods.

I run an environmental education program in South Lake Tahoe which focuses on Conscious Consumerism.

After first learning about gmo’s in 2001, I integrated lessons connected with them (gmo foods, fuel, clothing, building materials, etc) and have taught about the inherent dangers of them. Additionally, with the problems they are creating within soil structure on a microbial level, they are an absolute threat to the future of food supplies globally.

The threat to children as “guinea pigs” for these corporations far exceeds rice. Children who grew up on Monsanto’s rBGH milk (recently stopped due to a victory by Millions Against Monsanto) are equally endangered. …the outcome of their ingestion likely not present itself for years.

With well over a billion acres (of gmo crops) human, insect and plant species are all threatened.

With corporations like Monsanto, Cargill Dow, ADM etc. at the helm and greenwash products like Natureworks (Cargill Dow), soy foam insulations, corn based ethanol and other products derived from gmo sources taking off as “green products”… taking on these corporations at governmental level is the only way to stop these criminals.

Lack of thorough research and scientific oversight is what has created this gargantuan mess. Oversight by presidential administrations has been going on for decades.

The question is, is it already too late?

So what was the results of the tests. They know more about this stuff than any of us do, I am sure they wouldnt do it unless there wasn’t much of a risk to the children.

“what if they grow a third arm or a second head?”
that would require reconstruction of the human’s own genetic code

second to davis Yes We are why because with out us the human race would have died a long long time ago

third i admit i have no clue what the bpa is but the fda only problem stems from letting low quality foods from other nations into the United states

forth chris shove the bs back up ur ass the kids are fine

next amicus curiae Humans Are Animals get that straight and think what would have happened if we tested cholate on a dog before humans ate it the world would suck balls

sixh at least someone else was thinking about the good behind this test

pesonaly i say its good why because any living thing in the world is organic two the food can be designed to contain a varius aray of vitemins and minerals. by the way the human body needs those to funtion right, and yes yopu can find them in a variety of foods but not in all of them this allows us to put them all in one and still have it taste good. amazing humanity at it’s finest

I agree – the product should have been animal tested first, absolutely – but what is getting lost in all this is the potential benefit of the rice to those who need it: http://www.findingdulcinea.com/news/health/2009/march/Some-Scientists-Say-Genetically-Modified-Golden-Rice-Experiment-is-Unethical.html

i disagree with any gm full stop, testing on kids is wildly out of order, especially as no other animal tests were done, (and i also protest animals being used too)
i always think that those who invent it, should be willing to be the test subjects, they and their families!!
the pharmas are now taking drug tests offshore to china and india as well as sth american countries, they will simply do the same with GM foods too, even easier to mislay, mislead delete and hide side effects!
