Kingdom of Hyrule Law: Ban of GMO Foods

[Speaker Faris Wheeler]

 

 

Today, The Kingdom of Hyrule has enacted a Law banning the sale and consumption of Genetically Modified Plants and Animals. Being caught in the practice is a fine of 500 Rupees and the removal of farming licences. "This is considered animal cruelty" said Queen Zelda. "Not only it is cruel for animals, it is unhealthy for the people of the Kingdom and there is no need for it". This comes as a study from the Hyrule Institute of Technology Health Department show that consumption of Genetically Modified foods can cause birth defects, autism, and other instances.

 

 

[Dimitri Valko]

Congratulations! They are also banned here in Ryas.

[Prince Hunter of Bavaria]

We have enacted this law in the DeustchReich as well

[Ikhan]

In Chernigov, GMO's are legal, as long as they are thoroughly tested before being put on the market. 

[Techcraft2]

We have already embraced the GMO as the superior food. Surely, others can say the same.

NSF official: Tests in Nova Scotia contradict the paranoid belief that genetically modified food is unhealthy. It provides the plant further resilience and is able to feed more people. Levels of any negative aliment have not been traced to GMO's and furthermore the NSF looks down upon governments in which so easily throw away scientific progress due to their paranoid beliefs. Conservative belief in the halt of change and the fear of the future is what really impedes the path of inquiry. Stand not in the path of inquiry.

 

“Upon this first, and in one sense this sole, rule of reason, that in order to learn you must desire to learn, and in so desiring not be satisfied with what you already incline to think, there follows one corollary which itself deserves to be inscribed upon every wall of the city of philosophy: Do not block the way of inquiry.†
― Charles Sanders Peirce - Philosopher

 

Chappie: Chappie don't eats no food. But nothing wrong with modified foods.

Exactly. The impurities of nature must be ironed out by the hands of man.

It is unfortunate that the Nova Scotian people would be so quick as to accept such notably harmful foods within their country. Your tests must obviously be incorrect, as our lead researchers in Ryas have found the consumption of GMOs to have ill effects.

The Quarian people agree with Chappie. We have been genetically modifying our foods before we even came to Orbis to secure food for the fleet and have found no indication of any harmful side effects.

This thread is going to be the start of WWVII

NOTE: I will be targeting the scientific references, not the article itself, as it provides no real substance. I mean no ill will to you Dimitri, I'd just like to show you. I'm not upset, but rather, intrigued. Maybe I'll learn something myself.

On the first link:

 

In your first study, it references this:

"Pesticides associated to genetically modified foods (PAGMF), are engineered to tolerate herbicides such as glyphosate (GLYP) and gluphosinate (GLUF) or insecticides such as the bacterial toxin bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between maternal and fetal exposure, and to determine exposure levels of GLYP"

 

GLYP being the herbicide, in which it is the not the genetic that is harmful, but the pesticide.

 

This article referenced in the second point of the first blog you stated talks nothing about GMO's themselves but to DNA that that cannot enter the bloodstream.

 

The third article is just an RT journal post that references an article that later is talked about. So it's basically fluff.

 

The fourth article is not a study at all, but a few interviews of practitioners that are attempting to blame GMO's for their disorders. The expected results and recovery are rather false, as gluten celiac and sensitivities are non repairable with medications and as far as I know, come from birth. This reference may help.

 

The fifth article was withdrawn. "However, very occasionally circumstances may arise where an article is published that must later be retracted or even removed." in which would mean that it was either wrong, or they found something that counteracts (or strengthens) the argument. However one would not withdraw an article without it being wrong, as a correct article would just reference the newer version of said study. But moreover, this proves nothing.

 

What even is this... A redaction of the article does not prove anything, as I said above. 

 

This article argues against herbicides... again not GMO's.

 

I will stop referencing these articles, because the more I look, the more that I realize that they are arguing against pesticides, and herbicides and not GMO's. The plants just happen to be herbicide resistant, and in saying that, the plants thus get sprayed with the herbicide, leaving residue. I cannot refute the harmful effects of glyphosate itself, but GMO's are clearly not the problem. 

 

Just think, that was only the references in the first article.

 

EDIT: I read the other articles too, they only state potential health risks, and to quote the third link you posted "There is concern that inserting an exotic gene into a plant could cause it to produce toxins at higher levels that could be dangerous to humans. This could happen through the process of inserting the gene into the plant. If other genes in the plant become damaged during the insertion process it could cause the plant to alter its production of toxins." 

 

That is similar to saying "If my food is cooked wrong, I will have food poisoning."

Due to much international concern, The Kingdom has started funding to a team of scientists to start researching and creating a chemical-free healthy pesticide.

[Chapsie]

Due to much international concern, The Kingdom has started funding to a team of scientists to start researching and creating a chemical-free healthy pesticide.

 

This we can agree with, Nova Scotian scientists have also jumped on the international outrage of herb-pesticides and hope that we can create a sort of union to create non-toxic chemicals to help our plants grow and prosper.

[Dimitri Valko]

We still do not see good enough reason to genetically modify our food if we do not know the exact side effects of said treatment. It is still an unknown, and we do not wish to risk our citizens' safety with unknowns. As food in Ryas is given freely to civilians, we are always trying to regulate our food to help keep our population healthy, and we are quite simply afraid that these genetic modifications could pose as potential harm to us.

The DeustchReich has made its own decision, and based on its own results. Even if the food cost us more, we are willing to pay to give our people the best. The DeustchReich also bans all imports of GMO's and no GMO goods are allowed to travel within our borders. 

[Ekejen Luish]

We let the people decide what they eat, so all GMO's must be tested by the government frequently and randomly and GMOs must be labeled as GMOs in stores. They are forbidden from being sold at any place other than authorized grocery stores (i.e. not farmer markets or stuff).

[Speaker Faris Wheeler]

Thanks. Hyrule has much to thank for your efforts.

[Techcraft2]

We are surprised at the lack of embrace of the future. In the Order of Humanity, our GMO crops will taste and grow better than any organic crop. Our food scientists labor endlessly pursuing a greater and better food for the nation. We hope that one day, meats as well could be "grown" economically in the same manner as our vegetables and fruits.

[Ekejen Luish]

We in Meonesia use farm skyscrapers; Crops, though not animals, are grown on each level of the building using growlights and sprinklers and all. Of course, we also use regular farms. But these farms are able to grow lots of crops in a small space, and clean the air (we leave the windows open when it's not raining and turn off air conditioning when we can in these places).
