Winter is coming so letting it grow back out. Maybe I'll let it grow to godly status this time instead of shaving it down. :D

I do believe in supernatural phenomena. When I was 18 my grandmothers Alzheimers had progressed to the point where she didn't recognize me. She thought I was her son. She would talk to people that weren't there. One day I asked her who she was talking to. She always, on many occasions saw and had conversations with a…

Patiently awaiting some good stories!!!!

Visceral fat is easier to lose than subcutaneous. That soft squishiness is subcutaneous. Visceral is deeper inside the body around your organs. Your body has burned through the visceral which is a good thing. As you continue on your journey the subcutaneous fat will burn off too. Don't let it discourage you. It's not loose…

Sunrise a few weeks ago while hiking.

I added it to my queue a while ago, but haven't checked it out. Guess I should. Sounds like it will be worth it.

This thread is getting interesting! So far we have Tony Stark & Thor! Are the Avengers assembling??

So I should just assume you guys think that the nutritional label should just be removed then? No need to list any of the other ingredients then?

So why not label them and let consumers make their own informed decision since you say they want it? Have you ever eatin an heirloom tomato? It tastes loads better than any GMO(extended for shelf life"profit") tomato. I guess you might find this hard to believe, but an heirloom tomato won't kill you! I guess people don't…

I'm still waiting for valid costs? I'm not magically dismissing anything. Stating that companies would have compliance fees to produce the same food they do now without compliance fees is ridiculous. Their product isn't changing at all! Why are you so scared of consumers being told what's in their food. I'm trying to…

Well obviously they would have to pay the fee to be certified like regulations require now.

I'm confused now? Are you saying GMOs kill people now?

Simply put. Organic= labeled, pay to be certified. Non-organic= label as such.. May contain GMOs, or yada yada yada. There would be no fees.

My point is it wouldn't cost them anything to add a few words to the nutritional label. I'm arguing the fact that some people think it would cost consumers for them to add 3 words. It wouldn't. Companies change their boxes and labels all the time. There would be no fees or inspection to prove you did or may have GMOs in…

Yeah, I know. That's why I don't eat wild berries when I don't know what they are. Those man made things are made for profit.

I'm not sure why a company would have compliance records or inspections to prove that they DID have GMO products?? That doesn't make much sense. If the company sourced a GMO free product so they didn't have to label then they would no longer fall under the argument. As far as scarring consumers off, it doesn't seem to…

Yeah, adding "May contain GMOs" to the label would be so expensive. I can only imagine how much it must cost cereal company's to change the box every month or two with the new toy, sweepstakes, incentives etcetera.

I get what you're saying, but they have to pay fees so they can label their products as gluten free, non-GMO etcetera. Why is it fair for companies to sell products with chemicals introduced into their products and not label them, but if they don't add chemicals they have to pay a fee to label it that way? I don't buy very…

As I've already said above, crossbreeding or selecting the best of crops is not the same thing as GMO. I'll have to look into the non-germinating seed thing since the 70s. I wasn't aware of any such thing.

Yeah, naturally in nature.

Explain to me where these costs come from please?

You're kidding right? You're gonna sit there and compare a plants natural defense mechanism to a man made poison? Tell me you're kidding???? And farmers do drown their crops in roundup. They are using more and more every year to combat the fact the weeds are fighting back and building up an immunity to glyphosate. If I…

Scrambling genes and seeing what happens is not the same thing as splicing plant DNA with another organism. So, GMOs have NOT been around since the 1930s. However, I'm not thrilled about mutagenesis either if that's what you're getting at. That's why I grow my own garden with organic heirloom seeds to reduce my chances of…

Don't get me wrong. If you think they are safe and want to be a Guinea pig I have no problem with it. It's your choice.

Feel free to explain yourself. No need to just make a snarky comment. Let me guess, you seen a Facebook post that said the world needs GMOs to make enough food right?

Oh they have? Which GMO products were consumers eating in 1930?? I'm pretty sure the very first GMO food was a tomato in the 1990s

Um, where exactly did I say that at @auddii ?

By reading some of the comments above, its obvious some don't understand GMOs AT ALL. They have nothing to do with evolution, hybridizing or cross pollinating. 21 years is not long enough to know if there are any repercussions. Saying they have been thoroughly tested by the FDA or USDA is ludacris. Remember when transfat…

I was never diagnosed, but I'm pretty sure I had it. I was always tired. I could sleep 12+ hours a day and still be tired and take naps. I would wake up gasping for air with my heart feeling like it was gonna jump right out of my chest. Had daily severe headaches and had people compare my snoring to a rabid wolverine. My…

Oh sure excluding out us men now!!! Haha
