kobra8706 It took all of 10 minutes for me to start asking "is he going to present any facts, or will this be entirely him making assumptions?" Didn't take long after that for me to start laughing at it. And not much longer after that i just gave up on it. If you're already anti-GMO you'll probably really enjoy this. If you're hoping for information, on the other hand, don't waste your time. He makes claims about GMOs being bad for you, while also saying there's no credible data about GMOs. What? How does that work? The opening of the movie set the tone perfectly: very biased parents trying to protect their kids from all chemical threats. It's one thing if you actually understand what you're afraid of, but it's another to make a documentary claiming that all GMOs are bad when you don't know what your dealing with. At one point, he says he's ready for a fist fight... hopefully he meant to fight off angry viewers who wasted money on this fact deficient propaganda film.

ddmgmgh Contrary to some earlier reviews GMO OMG was not bad at all, I quite enjoyed most of it. It is done in a narrated home movie style featuring a father and his family. This style makes it much more appealing to younger viewers.The very pro gmo big agribusiness supports may not enjoy the questioning tone of this movie, as massive profits are hinging upon public perceptions of their chemicals and genetically altered food products are at stake.The premise for the film is a fathers concern that he is doing everything in his power to keep his kids safe and healthy as he learns about how little we question what we eat. I think it speaks volumes toward the fact that most of us have lost touch with where and how we produce our food. His self education process appears credible. There are things that could have been more polished, but I think he preferred the one take credibility as opposed to more staging and scripting.He gives us a picture of the striking difference in public concerns for food production between North America and many places around the planet by traveling to and interviewing people in the business of farming and food safety. One chemical company turfs him off their property rather than say one word about their products.Quote for one scene:"It is ultimately not being about GMOs or big industrial agriculture and chemicals. It is about being for what is good and healthy and right for the planet." "We are finally beginning to wake up and become part of a food movement happening around the world". This movie is a good starting place for families interested in what we are eating and how it is grown.

Cameron Bryce Love This documentary is god awful. Don't be fooled by the quaint indie score or the silly smiles the narrator makes in the film. This documentary is completely full of lies that half an hour of research can easily disprove.Let me first make clear that despite the film's claim that there are 0 peer reviewed there are over 2000 that show that either GMOs are no more harmful than organic crops or are even better. His Haiti stuff is such a disgusting desperate attempt at an emotional appeal. You're dealing with a populace that has no idea about the science of GMOs and the leader of the movement claims that there are health harms and severe economic and environmental harms. The only one of those claims that is remotely true is environmental harms, which is part of his decrease in biodiversity claim and the increase in herbicides. Those claims are true, but biodiversity impact is extremely exaggerated and he doesn't understand the difference between herbicide and pesticide. Pesticides ARE in the seeds, but they have been Proved to be unharmful to humans.Next, I'd like to discuss his conflation of Monsanto and GMOs. While Monsanto is the biggest manufacturer of GMOs, they are not the same thing. Some of their business practices are controversial, namely their 1 harvest "terminator seeds" (there's a difference, Monsanto doesn't sell terminator seeds, but their patent makes farmers rebuy which is what they mean to refer to in the film). While the vast majority of farmers restock after every harvest anyway, I understand the concern. However, we must understand that the practices of GMO companies do not mean GMOs are bad, it means the company's practices are bed. On the topic of Monsanto, please take the time to research Monsanto lawsuits and you'll understand how stupid and ignorant his claims are. And the reason Monsanto spends so much to stop labeling is BS propaganda like this film. As he proved right after demonizing Monsanto for this, when people find out their eating GMOs they get scared even though they clearly are just finding out what GMO means. It's not that they know their products are bad, it's that people think they're bad despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.Lastly and perhaps the most bothersome part of this movie for me (above his gross Haiti and WWII appeal, his mangling of statistics, the conflation of issues, and just straight out lying) is the way he treats his children. The kids grow up being fed BS propaganda by their insane father. Whenever he leaves, they obviously enjoy the foods and again the health harms he claims will hurt the kids when their older have no scientific basis. He forces his kids to hold up the GMO signs and scares them into believing propaganda, which is so freaking disgusting to watch. It makes me sick.I have to leave you guys with a suggestion: DO SOME RESEARCH into this guys claims. I researched GMOs in depth for a year and it's horrible to watch this guy fooling so many people. Let it be know that I am extremely liberal meaning I identify with an ideology that largely takes the side of the narrator, but I'm a liberal, because I believe things that are factual. In the same way Gay Marriage has no credible evidence to support it leads to bestiality as many claim; in the same way there's no evidence to support that the war on drugs has stopped drug use at all; there's no evidence to support that GMOs are more harmful to your health than non-GMOs. Do research, I beg of you.

BlackEden Another piece of biased rubbish that ignores the scientific evidence. Of course, it is only those who are well off that are willing to remain ignorant, without realizing how their decision will affect the poor nations and future generations. There has been NO evidence of genetically engineered crops causing harm to humans or other animals. On top of that, the only genetically engineered crops that are actually sold on the market are soybeans, corn and cottonseed oil. Why? Because science is bloody expensive. Genetic modification through guessing games of selective breeding and other techniques has been taking place for roughly the past 10,000 years, which is more of a risk that directly targeting the acquired gene through genetic engineering.Over the last twenty years, we have been able to learn how to isolate any gene from any living organism, introduce the new gene into another organism, and get it to work there, and because genes work in almost the same way in all living organisms; it is incorrect to speak of a human gene, or a fish gene etc. The gene is a human gene because it is functioning in a human cell, not because there is anything about its structure or its chemistry that is basically different; an important point that lies behind some of the current confusion. Indeed genes from different organisms may be very similar to each other; the insulin genes, for example, only differ marginally between fish and humans.Currently there are near 2000 peer-reviewed reports in the scientific literature which document the general safety and nutritional wholesomeness of GM foods and feeds. Citations to 600+ of these published studies are provided at the GENERA Database. Type GENERA in google search and when you enter the website click on "view all studies" tab at the far right. You can see which ones are independent before you automatically dismiss it with your cognitive dissonance. This isn't about you, it's about the planet.
