Ocean Robbins: Well, we’ve been talking about these topics for a long time, you and I. And at Food Revolution Network, our mission is healthy, ethical, and sustainable food for all. And you are making the case that genetically modified foods, in general, are not healthy, they’re not ethical, and they’re not sustainable. Jeffrey Smith: Correct. Ocea...
Ocean Robbins: Thank you. The promise of the GMO industry was that these crops would give us more drought resistance, bigger yields, less pesticide consumption, better flavor and nutrition profile, and be a net benefit to humanity. But we’re not seeing any of that. Are we? Jeffrey Smith: No. In fact, the experts at feeding the world say that GMOs a...
Ocean Robbins: We have a net increase in pesticides on our croplands. We have way more glyphosate contamination, which is an endocrine disruptor, a probable carcinogen, and an antibiotic. We have BTin every cell of these plants, which when they’re engineered to produce BT, which is not a chemical you can wash off, it’s a pesticide that certain bugs...
Ocean Robbins: However, it’s getting a little bit more complicated now. When you started working on GMOs 25 years ago, there were a few crops being introduced. But today, right now, you can buy a do-it-yourself gene-editing kit on Amazon and make a new genetically modified organism in your garage. It’s a whole new world. And Jeffrey, can you tell u...
Ocean Robbins: So are people right now actually buying this gene-editing kit on Amazon and actually editing genes in their garages? Jeffrey Smith: Yes, they are. And that’s for, you know, $169. And, of course, the price is going to go down. The ability for making changes is going to go up. And then for mail order, for basically the price of eating ...
Jeffrey Smith: But we now know about the importance of the microbiome for human health. It has been over 50,000 studies in just five yearslinking the two. In fact, if you talk to an expert, they say that we have outsourced 90% of our daily metabolic functions to the microbiome. And its brilliance is unmatchable. For example, some of the breast milk...
Ocean Robbins: So, how are governments responding to these risks? Jeffrey Smith: There’s, first of all, the generic issue of gene-editing. The biotech industry realized that those of us, you and I, and others who’ve been talking about the health dangers of GMOs, basically rallied the whole world. Fifty-one percent of Americansand 48% of worldwide c...
Ocean Robbins: Jeffrey, why is it that you say gene-editing could replace nature? Jeffrey Smith: Well, you know, we made a list of 12 GMO crops a moment ago, and that was 25 years in. But now that gene-editing is so cheap and easy, everything with DNA is being targeted: from bacteria to butterflies, from algae to animals, everything — fungus to flo...
Ocean Robbins: Jeffrey, there’s a lot of controversy about so-called gain-of-function research and its applicability in labs. I know that one of the things you’re sounding the alarm on is that when you combine lab-generated pathogens with gain-of-function research, there’s a possibility of creating more pandemics in the future. And you’re trying to...
Ocean Robbins: Yes. Okay. So now, let’s get to part two. What are you doing? And what can we do? Because you didn’t just come here to scare the living daylights out of us. You came here to talk about what we can do to turn this around, right? So let’s talk about that. Ocean Robbins: What’s your strategy, Jeffrey? Jeffrey Smith: Well, we decided, fo...
