All that Glitters is not Gold - The Truth about GE 'Golden' Rice
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- ‘All that Glitters is not Gold’ features various communities’ representatives concerned about the introduction of genetically engineered ‘Golden’ rice in the Philippines.
‘Golden' rice is a genetically engineered (GE) rice variety that has been developed by industry to produce pro-vitamin A. Its proponents have hyped GE 'Golden' rice as a quick-fix solution to vitamin A deficiency which is prevalent in developing countries. Despite 20 years or research GE Golden rice still remains an experiment years away from becoming a reality because of technical and agronomic failures. act.gp/2alofr3

Why doesn't Greenpeace use its vast funds to send the chef of this video out to feed the starving people who this rice is developed?
Awesome parody video! The Onion just keeps getting better.
Huh??? One of their worst, easy -- ZERO humor, just straight-up myth and fake news misinformation.

Man, I'm glad to see that people in the comments have recognized this video for what it really is. Greenpeace has really lost it's way.
If you're someone living in poverty subsistence farming in a 3rd world and subsists on one staple food crop, listen up! All you'd need is $85 worth of ingredients, a local whole foods or other high end food retailer, and 3 years in culinary school, and you too can avoid rice that is specifically designed by human beings to protect human beings because it sounds sciency and scary.
The current "anti-poor" stance of Greenpeace is highly disturbing, and the use of pseudoscience to justify this inhumane stance should be condemned
I failed to find the "truth" part.
They discussed Golden Rice in a recent SGU. Another commenter on this video summarized it like so (correctly, IMO):
- Because of poverty, our people can't afford nothing more than rice, and they suffer from vitamin A deficiency.
- Oh my, that's awful. Here, take this. While you are solving the problem of poverty, try this rice that can solve your vitamin A deficiency issue for now.
- F**k you, we don't want that. This won't solve our poverty.
+Peter Mosier OMG GMO! I don't think that anyone has ever quoted me on anything before :)
This video is not science based.
This video is not reality based.
and gmo are pure healthy science, yeah right
+OZHKAR1, yeah, nature sucks. Traditional cultivation is not precise. There's all kinds of negative effects when cultivating the old school way. You can't completely get rid of this or you can't add something completely new. Even potatoes are still a problem since without constant interference they would turn back to being poisonous. It's a great thing we have this safer and more precise method of gene manipulation so we don't need to rely on crappy nature that much.
@@OZHKAR1Why do you think they are not?
@@DalCoger because these are lab seeds, are just not natural, they program to resist weather, plagues and also it uses chemicals that damage soil and instects, these seeds also are related to upov91 wich it means privatization and monopoly
Shame on you Greenpeace!
How much money/aid does Greenpeace actually spend on helping vitamin A deficiency?
Greenpeace doesn't spend any money on any humanitarian or research projects. Unless you count the destruction of Nazca lines, maybe... Though they want you to think that their anti-everything campaigns are for the betterment of humanity.
GP may have started with good intentions back in the day but these days they're just the equivalent of famous attention whores. With a numerous and ardent fanbase.
Then again, it may be a bit misguided criticism, as GP is *supposedly* a nonprofit organization, so they're not bound to have many funds to aid in any significant way.
Their claimed purpose is raising awareness for environmental issues, though they increasingly focus on the wrong issues (or non-issues) and often do it through harming the work of others.
zolikoff no all greenpeace are now is propaganda whores running publicity stunts they think will minupulate people into donating more money to them
dsndicmsa Yeah, I kinda realize that.. I was just talking about what GP is supposed to mean according to their definition.
+RedDj2 Don't expect an answer bro. I'm surprised they haven't deleted and reuploaded this to hide th ebacklash it's gotten.
15:45 - How do you recall a rice plant. Well since it is a self polinating species it is very easy to recall it. You just stop planting that varieity. My father was a rice farmer and he switched varieties all the time. It is just ignorant of reality to suggest you could not withdraw a rice variety if you found it had some issue associated with it.
18:22 minutes of pure BS
If you are watching this video, this rice hasn't been made for you.
What this video proves is that a lot of people are concerned about GMO's, which is true of course. Are those concerns justified? I'm sure some of them are. I don't like the power of the multinational GMO companies either, for example. However, I don't belief GMO's lead to health issues; I'm not saying it's impossible, but even then it would only be 1 specific GMO and not all of them. I believe they are also tested much more intensively then other food, while your other food also is constantly mutating and can get new genes from for example viruses.
It is true that it would probably be better to get the people to eat different vegetables, but as you point out yourself: they are used to eating mainly rice, something they've been doing for 100's of years and they're not going to change that easily. Especially since the poor people for which this is an issue tend to be uneducated and socially isolated. Oh and there is millions and millions of them. Sorry, but your alternative solutions seems very unrealistic to me.
Give me a video with facts about the influence of GMO's on the environment, and I'll probably sign the petition right away, but this video is all about opinion, not about "truth" so you're not convincing me...
I hope Greenpeace gets prosecuted at the Hague for crimes against humanity.
First world elitist organization...When science and evidence are not taken into consideration, activism becomes another religion.
Shame on you Greenpeace, for your fight is the wrong one and you use lie as a weapon. You have well earned the accusations of Crime against humanity.
nothing against Greenpeace, but they really should do more research on the pros and cons of gen-engineered food. GMO allows people to plant more and prevent disease on crops.
these people needs to be educated with micro-biology
Green Peace, I'll offer a friendly tip. Next time you want to tackle an issue that requires deep scientific research and evidence, perhaps try including some deep scientific research and evidence, not just interview people with strong opinions who have no understanding of the science. I watched this video to get your side of the argument because a friend of mine told me to. This video was propaganda garbage. No wonder I'm so skeptical...
I support GMOs because that is one solution to increase food yield to supply an increasingly demanding population. In addition, rice is a staple diet in Asian countries such as the Philippines and there people in such countries that could only afford to buy rice and just season with salt. The addition of a gene which produce Vit A would be beneficial for people that cannot buy a variety of products every day to satisfy the daily requirements. On the other hand, I agree that people cannot predict how GMOs would behave in the natural environment and the foreign gene could be transferred to other plants and that could be disastrous. Furthermore, GMOs are considered "patents" of the company that have created them therefore there will be issues that would rise if there are fields that are contaminated by said GMOs. The aforementioned companies could actually send a ceases and desist letter and sue the farms in order to remove competitions.
Kristian Alfon Ya - the beautiful part of this whole story is the "anti's" really have no defense against it -there is nothing really there for them to try to debate against. The normal spiel is Monsanto will have them over a barrel and they will have to get their seed forever from Monsanto - this argument certainly won't fly here -though I am surprised these Luddites have not said it already.
So greenpeace is saying poor children should go blind!
I dont know why,but i have a bad feeling about golden rice.i dont eat gen manipulated corn,neither.i think these should be natural.
But i dont eat organic foods only.
Im just sceptical about corn and now that rice.
What they do with sentences in this documentary.
Example Sentence: I made a pillow fort
What this documentary would say: I, meaning me, used my hands to put pillows and blankets on top of each other to create a shelter like fort like structure created out of pillows.
I'M a FILIPINO AND I SUPPORT GMO.
Greenpeace should be ASHAMED for their stance on Golden Rice. It is completely safe, it is much more nutritious, farmers can replant the seeds, and don't have to pay any royalties if they make less than $10,000 from it. It's a humanitarian effort that will literally save hundreds of thousands or even millions of lives over the next decades.
Yet Greenpeace for no other reason than their anti-GMO stance condemns it and tries to rally the people who would benefit the most from it against it. Shame on Greenpeace, shame.
There really is no ‘truth’ in here. Just emotive talking heads. It’s easy to find people to emote against multinationals. I expected at least to have some research and evidence.
FACT: This is nothing but lies from the Watermelons.
I will give you a reason why these farmers oppose golden rice: It ruins their business.
They have an interest in keeping things backward. GMO uses less land , less water, and is generally packed with more nutrition....Economies of scale
These farmers only care about the subsidy they will receive.
You see in most first world countries, less than 2% of the population is in agriculture business, they use machines to make up for the cost. This is not the case in these third world countries , everyone is in the agriculture business.
As a politician if you oppose these people, then you will be at risk of losing votes....
You can see it in the beginning the way they run things. They are using their hands to process rice, if you compare this to say Japan , then you see machines and stuff processing them.
In a way , they are right, it is socio-economic problem which has long term impact....But the short term problem is that most of them are going blind.
What is this anti-science propaganda? :| First chlorine, now this. You certainly earned the dislike.
By the way, gmo's are produced and eaten in the Philippines for decades.
Most of the foods we eat have been genetically modified for centuries. They took select plants that exhibited the traits they wanted (disease resistance, ability to resist drought, grow larger, or resist certain insects) and cross bred them to enhance those traits. This took many generations of cross breeding to do but in the end we had a genetically modified plant. No different than what they are doing now really except they can speed up the whole cycle by gene splicing.
A great example of this is the corn plant. What we know of as corn today is a much larger and heartier vegetable than when it was first cultivated. Why? Because only seeds from the best plants were allowed to be grown, an enhanced version of natural selection, but also genetic manipulation of nature.
At 5:30 Professor Teresita Ramos-Peres said "I tried to search Google for study's and found none, none" She is nuts! When I Searched Google I stopped scrolling the results after the first 100. What a BOLD FACED LIE
Why is Greenpeace against every new technologick? Why U can save Afrika with gmos sry 4 very Bad Englisch
Wow, this is biggest waste of 18 minutes of your life. The reason why golden rice was made was to help those who are in place where it is hard to get vitamin A. I have never actually said this to anyone but check your privilege.
Wow that female "Scientist" did you just pick a ranom person of the Streets and told her to lie ?
Even with just Google you cant find hundreds of Artikels that disagree with her.
Good Job Greenpeace youve done it:
You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain.
What was actually wrong with the rice? I didn't see any proof it was causing any problems, or any solutions.
Maybe it can cause cancer or alzheimer,after consuming it in 20 or 30 years.they havent tested it yet.
@@delmonte4824 maybe touching a smartphone makes your dick fall off in 40years, it hasn't been tested!
There are absolutely zero viable mechanisms that could cause cancer or Alzheimer's in these plants
Genes that make the cell produce vitamin A do that.
They won't change the amount of phytonutrients, heavy metal absorption or cause some type of mutation that'll be harmful.
Seriously, it can't happen. There's not a single hypothesis that's reasonable for that, not a single theory demonstrating a viable mechanism for anything harmful to ever happen.
Btw, the chances that smartphones really do that are thousands of times higher than GMOs ever causing the smallest of harms through ingestion.
GR2 is now approved by AU, NZ, Canada and just today, the US. Soon it will be grown commercially and/or for famine victims. Golden potatoes are next!
Shame on you for causing preventable blindness in children and for perpetuating the false claim that GM foods are bad.
After seeing the integral role of rice in Phillipino society, i'm fairly convinced that the only reason people are coming down so hard on golden rice is because it challenges established businesses and the status quo.
"why would you put beta carotene in rice when there are a host of other edible plants with beta carotene in it?" ... life is so simple when money isnt the driving force
So anti-science. Lost all my appreciation of the organization after seeing this. So fucking cheap.
I agree with you. Millions of children should not die, and they should not be given GMOs...They need healthy foods... whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, which they can get if they farmed. People who think that golden rice is the only solution are narrow-minded.
One must not tell lies.
Wait, your going against something which was designed to help people in humanitarian issues?! I think your the ones that need to get your facts straight!
It's a shame you can't use the dislike button anymore. I'd love to see the ratio.
Sources please!
this is just blatantly wrong
Greenpeace why you not fight against iodized salt?
Several of the people featured in this video seem to be ignorant about Vitamin A. RETINOL is the form of Vitamin A that we require, & it is found only in ANIMAL FOODS, the richest sources being fish liver oil, liver, & (to a much lesser extent) butter & egg yolk. Beta-carotene, or β-carotene, (as well as other less-efficient carotenoid antioxidants) from plant foods is a POTENTIAL PRECURSOR to Vitamin A, & is therefore known as Provitamin A. Only some people (it depends on your genetics) can convert it to retinol, & for those people, the chances of converting a sufficient amount are LOW. Filipinos need to address their Vitamin A deficiency problem by replacing some of the rice in their diet with MEAT or SEAFOOD. Rice is a grass & grass is herbivore food, not human food. It provides calories in the absence of better sources, but it is nutritionally poor.
"you need a social solution to social problem" WHHHHAAAATTTTTTT kind of nonsense is THAAAAAATTT ?
green peace is an NPC
This is some sort of parody video, isn't it? Please tell me Greenpeace aren't this stupid
ummm... golden rice has never been utilized due to technical challenges. Stop blaming fucking greenpeace everyone
very misleading and far from the reality
You know, I remember a time when you guys were heroes, trying to stop human kind from polluting the environment, or even just bombing each other. But now, my heart breaks when I see you guys do stuff like this, going against golden rice& causeing vitamin A deficiency, even though the rice is proven to be safe. Greenpeace, please think about what you're doing!
So was this a parody of another video?
You people are no different to religious extremists. Unfortunately it is not possible for you to realise that.
Shame, shame, shame!!!
Good for you Philippines to be aware of other local sources of Vitamin A. Moringa is indigenous crop readily available & absorbed in the body.
Wtf Greenpeace?? Why are you against golden rice?
I'm allergic to non-GMO food so I guess I'll just go die then.
personally, I'm waiting for the GM potato that tastes like steak.
no disrespect to the commenters intended.
Well, I've been buying vegan nuggets with lab grown biomolecules that give them the real taste without the use of live animals, so..
If you just marinate tofu long enough and cook it right you can also get something like chicken but softer on the inside, crispier on the outside and tastier
Near unwatchable...
Su antihumanismo anticiencia es aterrador. El planeta tierra sobrevivira con o sin nosotros. Los pobres deberían de ser su prioridad. No tienen vergüenza.
Oh how the mighty has fallen... shame on you greenpeace.
lol
Why do Americans insist on depending on big business rather than harness nature?
Damn a lot of views yet so little likes
If you could see the dislikes tho
CRINGEWORTHY
HAHAHAH. What a funny vid.......
thank you
Ratioed.
Baguio !
Oh my word, the scientist who said that was gold LOL
Misinformation and eugicicist propaganda
no, that's your opinion. No one on earth needs GMOs to survive. The poor people need nutritious food which you get from vegetables, and whole grains and such. White rice is not nutritious and GMOs are destructive.
www.independentsciencenews.org/news/gmo-golden-rice-offers-no-nutritional-benefits-says-fda/
For those that still think that GMO is the best game we can play ...
Vitamin A isn't a problem for anyone able to watch this video.
It isn't truly more nutritious, but it has the antidote for vitamin A deficiency incorporated into it which can help people dying and going blind because of it that eat rice every day but haven't got access to foods with vitamin A
SO I SAY "GOOD JOB GREENPEACE" keep doing what you're doing. eventually people will wake up!
Why are so many people against Greenpeace? What the hell is wrong with you?
Roberto Ruiz-Xoconostle Hows that exactly? I want YOU to tell me exactly the lies you think they tell you.
Roberto Ruiz-Xoconostle I can guarantee you that the large companies that Greenpeace criticise say more lies and attacks than Greenpeace does. You're just using GP as a scapegoat.
Roberto Ruiz-Xoconostle I really doubt you know everything about GMOs as you claim you do. You probably just heard from the general consensus from people who are in 100% of the industry and don't question the various research problems that exists in the field.
Roberto Ruiz-Xoconostle GMO's are not good for you you fucking idiot
Because Greenpeace are eco-terrorist.. they dont do anything productive.. all they do is tie themselves to tree and climb oil rig and then cry like little girl when they get arrested and expect someone else to pay for lawyers to get the out.
If you are stupid enough to donate to Greenpeace its highly likely that your money went to paying for lawyers to get the Artic 30 out of jail.. I certainly dont want to give lawyers any money if I can avoid it
ANYTHING SAYS QUICK FIX CANT BE GOOD PROLONGS THE SUFFERING ANDWORSE
Anything produced or invented shall totally be for the welfare of human and his environment. Likewise, genetically engineered product/s like this GE Golden Rice which was/is proven not passing the QA/QC human and environment standards shall be deemed harmful or threat anytime anywhere and must be stopped or abolished at once by any country or the UN themselves. Thank you Greenpeace. ;-)
Tell that to the millions of people dying from vitamin A deficiency isn't denying this golden rice to them causing more harm
Nobody has established that this rice causes harm yet why not let the program develop further with more testing to ensure that its safe
And the part regarding inventions why doesn't the UN stop the production of weapons
you sir are full of shit
Joel Koh I think Allan was being ironic
Good for the Philippine Farmers for taking a stand against GMO food. Look what happened in India to the farmers over there. What it really comes down to is corporate greed, and control of the food source. When you can not grow your own seed that is where the big concern would be. With GMO seed you are forced to buy your seed directly from the corporation, use their weed killer..etc....etc... The farmer will not be able to save seed for the next years crop from the GMO seed. For you people who say: " Shame on you Green Peace", no shame on you people who even think that GMO is safe, and effective. Shame on you for thinking the corporations are out there concerned for public health. The only concerns the corporations have is about their own bottom line.
...except golden rice would have been given out royalty-free especially to small scale farmers as a humanitarian project in an effort to combat vitamin A deficiency. Kindly supply evidence that GMO are not safe or effective. You'd think that corporations that are concerned with making a profit would design products that are objectively and provably inferior than conventional seeds? Especially considering how contentious that field of research already is due to public pressure of mostly uninformed people.
Since there are other foods available to make up for people's Vitamin A deficiency why manipulate the genetics of rice? The other foods would also allow for people to diversify their diets.
You are fucking joking right?
The people Golden rice is aimed at are so poor and living on so deficient land that pretty much the only crop they can grow is rice.
Rice doesn't grow in "so deficient land", it needs water and a good soil. Where you grow rice, you can grow salads, tomatoes and other sources of vitamin A. Golden rice and other GMOs are not needed, at all.
You are an idiot fool who lives in luxury. The fact we both have computers or smart phones just proves it. Countries like the Philippines and Thailand have many poor residents who cannot readily get such ingredients as it is common for us, but they can sure as hell get rice this is why golden rice is offered as it is a staple in those countries and it aimed at the poorest of the poor. Do some research for Christs sake and GMO's are needed for the world hunger and other issues we had hack they saved papayas from extinction, look it up most of them are GMO's. Do some research you green "peace" brain washed ninny.

From your other comments is plainly obvious that science and you don't mix, and that you mostly just talk out of your ass about things you arrogantly believe you actually understand.
So for both our sakes, I will keep this simple:
To grow rice -you only need access to a river or stream.
To grow vegetables: you need loam soils, you need specific pH lvls and drainage. The vegetables will have to tolerate the weather and climate, which they can't fucking do because they are not fucking native to the area -ironically something GM could help with.
And fruits would require even more care.
ihavenonameforyou1
Lol it seems you never travelled in your life. Thaïland is a very green country full of forests and are able to grow any kind of food. They don't need golden rice when they are able to grow 30 or more different rice strains and lot of vegetables.It's the same in Philippines, they are not desertic countries, they have plenty of water, they can grow many fruits and vegetables. A salad grows in less than 1 month and don't require any special conditions to grow.
GMO papayas create many problems in Hawaï. As always, of course, there are no studies about the long term effects on the human health. In terms of biodiversity it's a complete mess, since 80% of the papaya trees are the same GMO. When some pest will adapt to it, all the production may dissapear. Without speaking about non GMOs papaya growers who's crops are polutted with GMOs;
No, GMOs didn't solve anything in any fields and never improved nothing?
And how could they? By taking a random gene in a spider DNA and put it in a plant DNA? Ridiculous !
I think this video really helps to clear the discussion about GMO-products. And for me it is clear that these products shouldn't even be produced, and I hope the others watching this feel the same way
no
Helped me a lot with my research paper..thanks!
just say NO to GMO!!!
Gershon Wolf Just say no to cars and the internet! Because technology, science and innovation are all bad!
Gershon Wolf Yes, say NO to gmo and watch millions a year die.
Thank you for your work. Nobody needs GMOs.
I'm so glad everyone elected you to speak on their behalf -including all the poor starving and blind kids.
Fuck you, your ignorance and your audacity.
Idiot, I state my opinion and never claimed to represent anyone besides me.
GMOs exist for 30 years, why are there still "poor starving and blind kids"? all the farmers in USA grow GMOs, are there "poor starving kids" in the USA?
Lol, your "GMOs will save poor kids" is a joke, since it would be possible for more than 50 years if ever greedy companies were concerned by poverty. Which they are not, of course...
Delph Zouzou
If you spent the time it took you to write your comment to actually look up food production -you would see that there is more than enough food being produced to feed everyone.
But it never gets to the people who need it because of transportation cost -GM crops can be designed to thrive in local conditions and use less resources. Nutrient fortification is a big fucking cherry on top.
"Idiot, I state my opinion and never claimed to represent anyone besides me."
oh really? -"Nobody needs GMOs"
Oh and you want know why they are still people going blind from VAD? because of dipshits like you and Greenpeace that spread misinformation and ignorance around so much that "activist" are inspired to attack the field tests.
KR P
So basically you are saying that if some people are blind in the world, it's because they don't eat enough good GMOs and that's it?!
We know that people suffer from malnutrition in the world for decades, GMOs exist for more than 30 years and didn't solve anything, but for you that's the ultimate solution? It's a joke !
And Monsanto which is a greedy overpolluting company for 100 years suddenly becomes a bunch of sanctified men who want to save poor blind children?
GMO are forbidden in many counrtries, there are good reasons for that and all test fields should be destroyed like they were in my country when Monsanto tried to grow GMO corn. I approuve completely this activism.
Delph Zouzou
I have spent way too much time on you and frankly -you are not worth it.
You are a 'believer' and one riding high on the hubris of it all -talking to you feels the same as taking to bona fide racists or Evangelical creationists or a jihadi.
While improving my understanding of them, it was not pleasant in the slightest.
If you won't doubt in slightest, then it is all just window dressing and facades because there is no argument in the world that will convince you.
Read the wikipedia article -it's well sourced, moderated and simple enough for even people like you -confirm the facts using the citations, read the 'talk' page for a 'behind the scenes'.
I'm done.
