Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I've read that hybredized fruit can't survive in the wild in an article by David Wolf. He also says bananas are hybred. Don't the bananas we usuall eat from the super market grow in the wild? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Some variants. This is the problem. Our food supply is in the hands of corporate producers and growers (who care for nothing but profit). They have bought off the scumbag genticists to create monstrosities. GM variants are created to resist insects, pesticides, herbicides, fungii infections, etc. All these " varieties " are designed for increased yields. The motive for the biotechs and the butt-head growers who use the variants is simply greed. Their message and action is pure selfishness. Forget the environmental, ecosystemic, or genetic backlash. As you can tell, I am fervently opposed to methods of food production which deleteriously manipulate nature's own. I followed the link. It is an interesting and informative site. The Doctor makes valid statements. What does viability do to food quality? We humans don't understand enough to be meddling in the genetic domain. We are stewards, not maniacs. Cashews...surely a search would show you that they are fruits produced by cashew trees? I am a firm believer in self education. Second-hand news can be a distortion of fact...ergo, research...cross reference... http://www.vegparadise.com/highestperch3.html tev --- John de la Garza <john wrote: > Some people say fruits are bred for unnaturally high > sugar content to > make them more appealing > > here is a link I just found right now on google... > > > http://www.askdrhelen.com/hybrid_foods.html > > the author says she 'heard' cashews aren't really > nuts so don't eat > them...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 It depends on what they are hybridized for. The now seedless bananas obviously won't. --- johnd <john wrote: > > I've read that hybredized fruit can't survive in the > wild in an article by > David Wolf. He also says bananas are hybred.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 The seedless ones we see at supermarkets grow in the wild dont' they? I mean even if they don't have seeds in them they grow somewhere. What I mean by wild is not in a greenhouse or controlled environment. Even if someone has to plant them.
