So when exactly did wheat become a "GMO" ??? At the same time as g****s that make the wine that these fukin hypocrite yuppies drink with their non GMO salads???

The grain corn. Cattle, hogs, chickens and fish on a high carb/corn diet get screwed up too. And yes our sugar damaged livers are same as HD alcoholics.

Carbohydrates are the three sugars glucose,fructose(fruit sugar),lactose(milk),sucrose(white sugar)is basically just 50/50 glucose/fructose

Fructose when consumed while eating fruit or a cob of corn isn't as bad because the pulp and fibre regulate act as a lattice in the digestion process,plus when you think about mother nature doesn't mind you eating a few oranges,but just drinking the juice of a few dozen oranges at a sitting....

Cant remember for sure what the ratio of glucose/fructose is for corn syrup.

Don't know how this would really effect the meat of animals we eat other than toxins that get stored in fat,eggs on the other hand,theres something going on with them,have heard they are feeding chickens food colouring to get brighter yolks,that could be a myth,don't know much about all that.

So is organic wheat GMO as well ? Unless you have a wheat variety that is 80 years old ? I would think even red fife was a crossbreed of two varieties - no ??

It irks me that the term "GMO" is thrown around so loosely. There is no "GMO" wheat on the market.

There is a difference between cross-breeding/hybridization and genetic modification by gene splicing.

I'm not saying that there haven't been great changes in the properties of modern and primitive wheat varieties.

But there seems to be a malicious intent in slinging the term "GMO" around, with all its negative imagery in the public consciousness.

I should have said "There is a difference between cross-breeding/hybridization and genetic modification by 'inter-species' gene splicing." For instance taking a gene from a fish and splicing it into the tomato genome to give it better cold tolerance.

I say lets turn every food GMO and let the uppity housewives across the world fight over the remaining couple million tons of organic food. I'd really like to see what happens.

I absolutely agree burnt !! This misinfo that our wheat is GMO is terrifying consumers , and going to kill our wheat industry .
