I bought apples and they look the same as the day I bought them after 3+ weeks. That can not be healthy. What did they do to it? Irradiated? I'm not eating this shit anymore.

It happened awhile ago. More poisoned food. As if corrupting the meat and drinking water supply wasn't bad enough, now fruit is heavily genetically modified. Consuming GMO fruit also modifies OUR genes, permanently. It's terrible.

Stop spreading lies. The problem with GMO foods is the amount of pesticides that get sprayed on them because the same people making the pesticides are genetically modifying the plants to resist more of those pesticides, and the kind of control Monsanto has over the food supply because of the way genetically modified plants are treated as intellectual property. There's nothing inherently bad about GMOs.

It's almost like there is some kind of genetic selective pressure as to whether you can afford/are smart enough to buy organic food...i mean, it's not like it isn't available to everyone via personal gardens...so i guess there must be some kind of selective pressure here...i wonder if this is anything like the selective pressures imposed by nature when food supply chains are disrupted by a cold winter or an overpopulation of deer....

There are numerous studies to back up my point. Humans receiving genes from GMO foods is only one adverse affect, there are several, so it's safe to assume we don't even understand the full dangers.

Why would they do this? Is it hard for you to believe there's a plot to undermine our health? Are the people injecting cows and chickens with drugs doing it purely for profit? Did you ever stop to think there's a bonus agenda? People like you are hopelessly optimistic, you absolutely refuse to believe powerful people in the world want to cause us harm.

Indeed. But what do we do when even the seeds we buy are going to grow this kind of food? It's becoming harder and harder to acquire healthy nourishment. It's not natural selection. It's a group of people committing genocide. Yes, the options are available to us, but it can be extremely hard and expensive to do something that should be a basic right to us in the current age, eat a healthy diet. Of course people also willingly make the decision to eat unhealthy fast food, but even this is a bit unfair. When presented with the opportunity to get the quickest, more economical and tastiest food, you can hardly blame people for taking it.

If that plants can hold up to more pesticides, then more can be sprayed on them, which means more gets sold. The health risks come into play from the effects the pesticides have on our bodies, not the plants themselves. Also, that study was discredited.

You take for granted what you perceive as rights; everything is earned whether or not you perceive how or why.

It is hypocritical for you to say that people should not be allowed access to tasty, cheap, unhealthy food while prescribing what is right and wrong.

It's time to recognize that the people have the means to access the knowledge to ascend their environmental pressures...what we have today in capitalist western society is truly what the people want and not some fucking global conspiracy.

If you believe in what you speak, stop being rhetorical and build your industry. I've chosen my path and am living it, do likewise.

Offering people food that leads to self destructive behaviors like addictive eating and the horrible bodily harm IS wrong. And it takes advantage of human nature, to secure resources the most efficient way. Yes, everyone has the means to educate themself on what leads to a healthy life, but the fact that a global conspiracy is present is as obvious as water is wet. I believe uplifting eachother, not exploiting eachother, would lead to a more beneficial natural selection, and if freedom allows people to make choices that hurt themselves and their future kin then the freedom's aren't deserved and they should be dictated over by someone who will lead them to the best possible person they can be.

Just take this person for example, he's aware of the power we hold in modern life but still is most proud of using it for something depraved that has completely altered his brain chemistry from someone 100 years ago.

I'm not claiming to have all the answers or information but at the very least everyone should realize that the products of western society are insidious and planned towards our ultimate demise. If you don't think that people in power are going to try to gain absolute power, then I don't know what to tell you.

The "global conspiracy" you allude to is the exploitation of the weak by the strong and it has and will continue to exist without humanity, or even living organisms for that matter.

We are simply aware of a possibility outside of natural order, and while it is beautiful to recognize and idealize such a system, it is inevitably futile as a functional concept. Communities built without exploitative power structures exist as ephemeral flames of isolated communal passion.

The only basis for your conspiracy is that this power gradient exists naturally. I don't doubt that there are those who seek ever greater control, but I also know that there is much greater power outside of simple human politics and economics, and I'm not being esoteric here but practical.

I mean, without even making the above philosophical argument, I disagree with your main political point: people are not meant to be led by others, they are meant to discover themselves and lead their own lives. We live in an age where this is more possible than ever. Woe be those who take this for granted or exploit it to control others, at least that is my hope...opportunity is rife for all right now, know yourself and know happiness.

Listen here you delusional idiot, that article in no way supports your claim that GMO foods modify consumer genes. All that article states is that whole genes from food can be found in a human's bloodstream, along with viral and bacterial cfDNA. You probably read the title and thought bloodstream meant "integrated into the genome," but those are two very different things.

Please actually understand how genetics works before believing that muh GMOs are ebil. Like it or not, almost every single thing you eat in the modern age is a GMO. Corn used to look like a fucking weed before humans cultivated it.

Commercial apples can be dipped in an edible wax. They are also kept in low oxygen warehouse.

But depending on the variety of the apples they can be kept for months. Some apples even improve in flavor after a month or two in storage. For example arkansas black apple can be kept in storage for 3 months plus.
