Weight Loss Tip:While it is a good idea to get some fruit in your diet, make sure that you get the fruit from eating actual fruit and not from drinking fruit juices. Most fruit juices contain a lot of added sugar so it is not as healthy for you as eating fresh fruit.
Political comedian Bill Maher weighed in on Monsanto and GMOs on the June 22 2012 episode of Real Time with Bill Maher – panel included Nick Gillespie, Rachel Maddow, Mort Zuckerman and Mark Ruffalo. Support the GM labeling measure in California this November!

Monsanto needs to be destroyed.
*Republished study: long-term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a
Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize* – Gilles-Eric Séralini
This study proved GMO and glyphosate a.k.a. Roundup dangers;
Way to go Gillespie! NO ONE even attempted to answer his question about the
definition of GMOs.
I fucking love GMOs. I live in a third world country, and people here don’t
get the luxury of bitching about every strand of DNA in their vegetables.
GMOs are perfectly safe, they are superior to “organic” vegetables in
freshness, size, and taste, and they feed people in the poorest places on
Earth.
Fuck yeah, GMOs!
They really should invite a scientist on the panel when they talk about
GMOs. Those are all not experts. And if Bill Maher quotes scientists on man
made climate change, why doesn’t he quote all the scientists who confirm
that GMOs are just as safe as conventional food? You can’t just pick the
science to fit your worldview.
the anit-gmo quackery is strong here.
I bet their dogs aren’t wolves, and they’ve never had an apple the size of
a grape.
There’s nothing wrong with gmos.
GMO’s do not have a long enough track record. Do we really not learn from
history? How many times has the general pop been the testing grounds for
whatever seems harmless? Tobacco? DDT? Wake the fuck up. GMO’s are not
acceptable b/c the testing is not fucking complete and THAT’S THE ISSUE.
Bill Maher and the other man with glasses are fucking retards, these are
the people that put themselves as scientific literates but can not accept
the facts of the GMO’s, dear Bill in Europa 5% of the food are gmo’s for
simple political reasons, the European scientific community is unanimous on
this, GMO’S are healthy and safe.
Love Bill Maher, but he is dead wrong about GMOs. Biotechnology is the
future. He needs to talk to public scientists.
My main objection to GMO foods is that they produce this wonder seed for
the farmers to grow disease resistant crops. But make damn sure it’s
sterile so they have to keep buying from their Company! Sterility isn’t
just part of the process? It’s deliberately introduced. After all? NOTHING
must stand in the way of Profits!
Not only are they changing the DNA of the plant, but they are changing it
to become able to survive being sprayed with poison! Then they spray it
with poison and sell it to us to eat! Approvals got rammed through in no
time, and so what if we wind up with genetically mutated kids in 20 or 30
years…the profits for the next quarter are through the roof!
Talk to the farmers…that’s all you have to do is talk to the farmers.
They’ll tell you all about how they get treated by the likes of Monsanto.
You will look at this in a whole diff light. Just look at a few of the
videos here on YouTube
So let me get this straight: Maher is all anti-GMOs but all pro-Global
Warming…
The pseudo-science is strong with this one!
Maher is 100% wrong this issue. GMO’s have repeatedly proven safe by
credible, peer reviewed papers from scientists across the world.
Mahr is an anti science, anti reason idiot whose mind is nailed shut – he
is not a skeptic, he is a denialist. I have no idea why he’s an atheist
as he seems to not value intellectual grounding.
Finally he argues for something that is right
I can’t believe all the stupid comments on this , you brainwashed idiots
keep eating your gmo and roundup infested food , you can all have a reunion
at the cancer clinic
Citizens have the right to know if their food is genetically modified,
period.
Label the food. If not, I will buy only food that is labled ” non GMO
certified “
I do not trust Monsanto.
You people are missing the point. The issue isn’t strictly whether GMOs are
safe, but rather the fact that as a consumer you should be able to make a
decision whether or not you want to eat genetically modified foods. Even if
GMOs are safe, would it really be that hard for a company to simply put a
little logo on the packaging? We label almost everything you could possibly
want labeled on foods, so why not just say whether or not it has GMOs?
Too many people equate being well spoken with being intelligent, if people
ditched that idea I can guarantee you Rachel Madow wouldn’t have a fraction
as much success as she’s had.
“The Corporations we work for are a little different than Monsanto.” B.M.
They probably own Monsanto, Bill.
SCREW YOU MONSATAN and NICK GILLESPIE!!!
BEWARE of Monsatan Minions and TROLLS – They are EVERYWHERE!!!
For anyone who thinks that GMOS are safe, have a glass or two of Roundup
will ya?
Ruffalo looks stoned. Or he’s just naturally stupid.
You’d think the company would be so proud of their GMO foods that they’d
serve them to their employees, but they don’t. In fact, Monsanto has banned
GM foods from being served in their own employee cafeterias. Monsanto
lamely
responded “we believe in choice.” What they really means is “we don’t
want to kill the help.”

BILL, You support the person signing the Monsanto Protection ACT! USDA,
FDA, Monsatan and Quality Assurance International paired up with the NON
GMO fraudject is entirely that! Why don’t you eat your whiny whims & Lead a
protest!
I wanted to hear what nick had to say :(
Oh, I experienced america’s evil health care on me, personally, when I was
robbed thousands of dollars and was misdiagnosed by several bastards called
american doctors in row. I am still under recovering process from american
damn injury. That place was damn evil for my health, and they treat their
own americans also in the same way, no, insurance, no cash, costs more than
government can provide? then die or whatever, your problem
That man in black jacket is a bastard, 100 payed bastard by GMO, types like
her have to get sick and die, world will be better place then
I agree with Rachel’s point that GMO foods should be labeled because we
should get to know what’s in our food, not because it’ll steer us away.
It’s so we as consumers can make more informed decisions. Some people are
allergic to certain GMO foods (like the corn mentioned in the video). Some
people simply think organic tastes better. Some believe GMO is the way to
end world hunger. Along with the GMO label should be what type of GMO. Corn
with large kernels that are artificially selected (plant the seeds from the
biggest one each season) might be considered GMOs, but that’s not the same
as transplanting DNA in a lab, which is the type that tends to be more
dangerous.
Bill Maher will be the first one to point out that he’s all about science,
yet ignores it when it comes to GMO’s.
Also GMO FOODS ARE ALREADY LABELED. Just look for the missing “GMO FREE”
sticker that everyone selling GMO-FREE food is already putting on their
products. If it’s not there, guess what? It’s GMO. It’s not that tough.
Share of food trangsgenically modified/genetically engineered:
US: 70%
EU: 5%
Health Care Cost per capita
US: ~8000$
EU: ~3700$
Obesity Rate
US: 30%
EU: 16%
Europeans don’t like to be the lab rats for long term studies. That is why
we have the precautionary principle. If you want allowance to sell
something, prove beyond a reasonable doubt that your product is not
harmful. If you can’t, fuck off and keep your shit. For some reason
companies haven’t been able to provide sufficient evidence to be allowed to
sell their GMOs here. And the public is fairly strong in their oppostion to
GMOs too. As long as our politicians don’t sell us out via TTIP, we will
keep our precautionary system. It has served us well. We might not get to
sue someone for millions for getting poisoned, but hey, we’re not getting
poisoned as much after all.
I love how it cuts out right after the celebrity guest yells out “I’M
CONFUSED!’
again if is safe label it is want to know so I can buy the best GMOs
available why hide it
