In this instance it stems from two things: The scorpion venom has been modified so that it won't hurt humans: This isn't quite true. What they've done is select a section of the genome that codes for a toxin, called AAiT, which is known to be poisonous to insects. A study that purports to show that it does no harm to humans[2]: Well ... not exactly. The human testing was not performed on live people, nor was it performed on normal healthy cells. It was tested on MCF-7 breast cancer cells—not exactly normal human cells. Do you find that comforting? I certainly don't. [link to www.greenmedinfo.com] |

I have always left veggies for seed in the fall and harvested for next years crop. This works well for the home gardener. Pick the weeds instead of poisons is more work but Quoting: doktor 42527601 safe. note: Let seeds totally dry then store in clean dry glass jar with air tight lid. Seeds good for many years. Thanks for the tips doktor!! |

Coming soon is cabbage with scorpion poison engineered in every cell. Of course, they claim it's safe and will result in less pesticide use, but history and logic say otherwise. Who will wake from the insane mating between Agribiz and GMOs? Quoting: WildFlower Get ready for genetically engineered cabbages that come complete with their own scorpion poison, just for you to eat. It's touted as requiring less pesticide use and being, of course, completely safe. Close investigation, though, indicates that neither claim is likely true. A pesticide made with scorpion poison genetically engineered into a virus was first tested back in 1994. Interestingly, the scientists who sprayed the test field wore full body suits to protect them from this "harmless" poison. One must wonder at just how safe it could be when the developers themselves don't trust it more than that! Of course, the head of the trial, Professor David Bishop, insisted that the trial was safe—though he himself opted to take a vacation, rather than be there for it.

WildFlower (OP) User ID: 39163918 United States 06/30/2013 10:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thread: Trans-Pacific Partnership Voids Democracy..Update Something is looming in the shadows that could help erode our basic rights and contaminate our food. The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) has the potential to become the biggest regional Free Trade Agreement in history, both in economic size and the ability to quietly add more countries in addition to those originally included. As of 2011 its 11 countries accounted for 30 percent of the world’s agricultural exports. Those countries are the US, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Viet Nam. Recently, Japan has joined the negotiations. Six hundred US corporate advisors have had input into the TPP. The draft text has not been made available to the public, press or policy makers. The level of secrecy around this agreement is unparalleled. The majority of Congress is being kept in the dark while representatives of US corporations are being consulted and privy to the details. The chief agricultural negotiator for the US is the former Monsanto lobbyist, Islam Siddique. If ratified the TPP would impose punishing regulations that give multinational corporations unprecedented right to demand taxpayer compensation for policies that corporations deem a barrier to their profits.

Thread: Trans-Pacific Partnership Voids Democracy..Update While the TPP is in many ways like NAFTA and other existing trade agreements, it appears that the corporations have learned from previous experience. They are carefully crafting the TPP to insure that citizens of the involved countries have no control over food safety, what they will be eating, where it is grown, the conditions under which food is grown and the use of herbicides and pesticides.

Captain Spaulding User ID: 42438764 United States 06/30/2013 11:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | fucking losers, cant bend over and pick a weed, much better to poison humanity, Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26548545 Living here in the NW side of Phoenix by the desert there's no lawns. Everything's landscaped with decorative rocks. Here and there ONE little weed will pop up. ONE, every 20 or 30 feet. Instead of just bending over and pulling it the HOA hired landscapers will walk all the way to their truck, fill a tank, strap it on their back and walk all the way over to the one little weed and saturate it with Roundup that's tinted with turquoise food color so they can see where they sprayed. Roundup is everywhere. They even saturate the kids playground at the park with the crap. The fed's rule is it has to be posted within 100 feet of wherever it's applied commercially. It's not posted anywhere. How is it more easy and efficient to do 10 minutes work spraying poison instead of just taking 3 seconds to yank a little 4 inch high weed? They started shooting the coyotes here (with a high power rifle and night scope) in a populated area because people would leave their small dogs alone in the backyard unattended and the coyotes would get them. Now we're over-run with rats and scorpions. They put out more rat poison. Before the rats die from eating the poison they get eaten by hawks and owls and I find the beautiful birds of prey and their chicks dead a couple of times a week. The people need to watch their little dogs. Leave the coyotes alone. Them and the hawks and owls will take care of the rats and scorpions and the area won't be saturated with glyphosates and arsenic. Simple. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 16189182 United States 06/30/2013 01:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Scorpion venon is safe for human consumption. If you have ever done desert survival you know these guys are top on the menu. They can be eaten raw but you have to remove the barb from the tail. The reason for doing this is because the barb is designed to penetrate the armor of other scorpions. If it sticks into your esophagus on the way down the venom goes directly into your blood stream and its like being stung. The venom itself is made of a protein that the enimo acid (sp?) In the hunan stomack will completely break down and render the scorpions edible. They are high in protein, their flesh anyway. I am not sure what the results of consuming nothing but venom for a long period would do, or how the genetic material of the cabbage would adapt to the venom. They would be creating a new species. I can say that some Asian cultures have had scorpions on the menu for thousands of years and are fine. |

Alright, I was wrong I freely admit it. I learned about scorpions through my survival training years ago. I have eaten them raw and cooked. My knowlwledge was passed down through word if mouth. I guess we assumed it was like a spider. Admittedly I am a bit creeped out knowing how many I ate. No, I am not a shill. I am a poster that made an error. We all make misrakes, what is important is what we learn from them. Regardless of how you did it, I thank you for pointing out the deficiency in my knowledge. I am if nothing else a self educated and motivated individual. I am studying the toxin research now and its uses as a antivenom, pesticide and cancer research.
