164. DIETS DON'T WORK.

165. CALORIES THAN YOUR BODY NEEDS,

166. LOSING WEIGHT.

167. HAS TO COMPENSATE FOR THAT,

168. TO EAT AGAIN.

169. AND FATTER AND FATTER THE MORE YOU DIET!

170. THE VICIOUS DIET CYCLE,

171. WENT FROM 372 POUNDS

172. TO 195... ON HIS OWN

173. IN THE WAY HE LIVED.

174. LIKE A LARGE PERSON.

175. I SPENT MANY, MANY YEARS

176. OR BEHIND A COMPUTER,

177. AND THAT'S WHAT GOT ME UP INTO THE 370s.

178. IN MY EXPERIENCE,

179. OFF THE COUCH AND DO SOMETHING,

180. EAT A LITTLE BIT LESS,

181. THE WEIGHT GOES AWAY.

182. FOR OVER A YEAR.

183. 125 POUNDS

184. IN LESS THAN A YEAR,

185. 'CAUSE I'M EATING RIGHT, I'M EXERCISING HARD,

186. AND I'M GONNA GET THERE EVENTUALLY.

187. OF TRYING TO GET THERE,

188. LET'S SEE HOW

189. ON HIS 48-HOUR DIET.

194. HEY, MAX, THIS HOLLYWOOD DIET MAY NOT BE MUCH FUN,

195. EVEN DOWNRIGHT UNPLEASANT!

196. BUT YOU'RE ON THE ROAD TO A THINNER FUTURE!

197. UNTIL I'M OFF THIS.

198. INTO SOME FOOD.

199. WELL, HERE IT GOES...

200. THE LAST DAY, THE LAST MORNING.

201. WHEN I STARTED,

202. 190 TO 189 POUNDS.

203. WHEN I FINISHED OFF, THE LOWEST I GOT WAS 185.

204. ON THE HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITY DIET,

205. OF 41/2 POUNDS.

206. UNFORTUNATELY,

207. GROWTH ON HIS CHIN.

208. NEXT WEEKEND.

209. MAYBE HE'LL TRY OUT FOR AMERICAN IDOL.

210. PEOPLE IN AMERICA, YOU KNOW,

211. WE'RE THE LAND OF INSTANT GRATIFICATION NOW,

212. AND LOSE 20 POUNDS IN A WEEK,

213. AND THAT... YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

214. UNFORTUNATELY,

215. THERE'S NO MAGIC IN LOSING WEIGHT.

216. THERE'S NO MAGIC BULLET.

217. THERE ARE LOTS OF FADS,

218. AND AS WE KNOW BY DEFINITION, FADS COME AND GO.

219. TO LOOK BETTER,

220. EXERCISE.

221. IS MEANT TO BE A SIZE 2 OR 4

222. OR 6 OR 8.

223. UNDER CONTROL IS A HARD JOB,

224. HAS A MUCH HARDER JOB...

225. A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.

226. ALMOST 25,000 PEOPLE A DAY DIE OF HUNGER,

227. GO TO BED WITH EMPTY STOMACHS.

228. BUT THERE IS HOPE. OVER THE PAST FEW DECADES,

229. HAVE DEVELOPED GENETICALLY ENGINEERED, OR G.E. CROPS,

230. IN THE LAB

231. THE HARSHEST CLIMATES ON EARTH.

232. TO FEED THE WORLD.

233. WE'RE CONCERNED

234. DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.

235. I'M CHARLES MARGULIS, GENETIC ENGINEERING SPECIALIST WITH GREENPEACE.

236. CREATED LIFE FORMS, PLANTS, IN THE LABORATORY

237. INTO THE ENVIRONMENT,

238. WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IN THE LONG-TERM

239. IN THE ENVIRONMENT OR IN OUR DIETS.

240. CREATED LIFE FORMS! DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN?

241. THAT'S BULLSHIT!

242. THAT G.E. CROPS WILL RUIN OTHER CROPS

243. OR ANIMAL THAT EATS THOSE FOODS.

244. WE'RE LEAFLETTING

245. BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT.

246. MY NAME IS LEAH WALTON. I'M THE REGIONAL ORGANIZER FOR GREENPEACE, LOS ANGELES.

247. THEY'RE REALLY GETTING AWAY WITH THESE INSANE,

248. EXPERIMENTS...

249. THAT ARE JUST LIKE...

250. WHAT THEY'RE SHOOTING INTO THE PROTEIN

251. AND THE DNA.

252. PRINCIPLES OF AGRICULTURE.

253. OF MILLIONS OF STARVING PEOPLE.

254. IT'S PRETTY EASY TO PROTEST WHEN YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY.

255. FOR ALL PEOPLE.

256. I'M NORMAN BORLAUG,

257. AND I'M AN AGRICULTURAL SCIENTIST.

258. YOU CAN'T BUILD A...

259. AND HUMAN MISERY.

260. IS AN AMAZING MAN...

261. WHO CHANGED THE WORLD.

262. CARD GAME THAT WE INVENTED.

263. IT'S REALLY SIMPLE. WE HAVE THIS DECK WITH ALL THE CONTENDERS,

264. THAT MIGHT BE THE GREATEST PERSON IN HISTORY.

265. A FEW CARDS AND COMPARE AND SEE WHO WINS.

266. SO I'M JUST GONNA— NO, NO, I DON'T NEED ANY MORE.

267. I'LL STAND PAT. TAKE ALL THE REST.

268. FOR YOURSELF. I'LL JUST TAKE THIS ONE.

269. TO PLAY AT HOME, YOU HAVE TO DECIDE HOW TO JUDGE "GREAT."

270. SOME CRITERIA.

271. GO AHEAD. BET WHATEVER YOU WANT. I'LL BET ALL OF THIS.

272. I'LL BET THESE, TOO.

273. I'D SAY SCIENCE, GREAT SCIENCE.

274. YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO DO MY DAD'S RING, TOO.

275. THE RING MY FATHER GAVE ME.

276. LET ME JUST—I'M GONNA BET EVERYTHING, OK?

277. YOU GONNA SEE ME? YOU GONNA SEE ME? BECAUSE... I GOT LUCKY.

278. I DREW NORMAN BORLAUG,

279. SO IT LOOKS LIKE I WIN.

280. ACTUALLY, WE ALL WIN.

281. WAS GONNA STARVE,

282. NORMAN WAS WORKING.

283. HOW TO IMPROVE THE OUTPUT OF THE FARMERS.

284. A MILLION LIVES.

285. WHERE, IN SPITE OF A WAR WITH PAKISTAN,

286. THEIR FOOD OUTPUT.

287. SO THAT SAVED, LIKE, ANOTHER MILLION.

288. YOU GET IT? BUT HE WASN'T DONE.

289. WITH A NEW RICE IN CHINA.

290. IN AFRICA,

291. AS HE'S ALLOWED TO VISIT.

292. IN 1970,

293. A BILLION PEOPLE.

294. THAT'S BILLION! BUH!

295. THAT'S CARL SAGAN BILLION WITH A "B!"

296. WERE A DIFFERENCE RACE FROM HIM.

297. THE GREATEST HUMAN BEING.

298. NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

299. FOR 6.2 BILLION PEOPLE,

300. OF 80 MILLION MORE A YEAR,

301. IS NOT SIMPLE.

302. WE'D BETTER DEVELOP

303. THAT'S NEEDED

304. FOR THE WORLD TODAY.

305. UNFORTUNATELY,

306. OF PEOPLE LIKE DR. BORLAUG

307. AND OTHER ASSHOLES.

308. FOR STRICTLY ORGANIC FOODS.

309. THE FASTEST-GROWING SECTOR OF THE FOOD INDUSTRY.

310. IT'S ESTIMATED $11 BILLION WORTH OF ORGANIC FOOD WILL BE SOLD THIS YEAR.

311. MY NAME'S SIMON HARRIS, AND I'M WITH THE ORGANIC CONSUMER'S ASSOCIATION.

312. ORGANIC CONSUMER'S

313. FORM OF AGRICULTURE.

314. WE THINK IT'S A VIABLE OPTION TO THE CURRENT SYSTEM WE HAVE RIGHT NOW,

315. TO HAVE 100% ORGANIC IN THE NEXT 50 YEARS.

316. OH, I HATE TO SPOIL YOUR VISION THERE, SIMON,

317. BUT THERE'S, UH, ONE PROBLEM WITH THAT IDEA.

318. ON EXISTING FARMLANDS,

319. WE COULDN'T FEED ANY MORE THAN 2/3 OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION.

320. WE ARE 6.6 BILLION PEOPLE NOW.

321. WE CAN ONLY FEED 4 BILLION.

322. I DON'T SEE 2 BILLION VOLUNTEERS TO DISAPPEAR.

323. NOW, THIS ANNOYING GROUP

324. BY EATING ONLY RAW FOOD.

325. WAS HERE FIRST, AND WE WERE DOING FINE.

326. COOKED FOODS CAME ALONG. NOW WE'RE ABOUT TO DIE.

327. I'M JULIANO. I'M A RAW FOOD CHEF.

328. TO CONSUME FRUITS, ROOTS,

329. LEAVES, NUTS, AND SEEDS.

330. THAT'S ALL WE EAT.

331. YOU SHOULD EAT YOUNG FOODS.

332. HERE'S A BURRITO WRAPPER.

333. THAT'S PERFECT, YOU KNOW?

334. THAT'S A PERFECT TORTILLA.

335. NO PACKAGE, NO LABEL,

336. MADE BY WHO?

337. MOTHER NATURE, GOD, WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE,

338. IN A DINGY, DIRTY FACTORY

339. HIS JOB, BOSS, LIFE, AND YOU

340. INTO THE FOOD,

341. AND YOU EAT IT AND SEND IT TO THE CENTER OF YOUR CORE BEING.

342. IS WHAT YOU'RE GONNA PUT IN YOUR MOUTH.

343. AND FRIED, DEAD, DISEASED PIG ASS

344. FOR BREAKFAST. THAT'S BACON AND EGGS.

345. SOMEWHERE,

346. ON A TRUCK.

347. THROUGH REFRIGERATION.

348. ALONGSIDE HIS LETTUCE TORTILLA.

349. COME FROM?

350. AND CLEANED IT UP WITH A CLOTH OR A PAPER TOWEL.

351. WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY—NONE!

352. AND GET A JOB!

353. ONE DAY I WON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

354. I WON'T HAVE A CHOICE TO CHOOSE ORGANIC, NON-ORGANIC.

355. WILL BE TAKEN AWAY,

356. WILL BE POLLUTED WITH THIS CONTAMINATED,

357. DNA-ALTERED, GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOOD.

358. Alex Avery: ACTIVIST GROUPS WHO DON'T LIKE THE WAY

359. OR CURRENTLY PRODUCE OUR FOOD,

360. OF THE FOOD SYSTEM WITH LARGE CORPORATIONS, ETC.,

361. ARE OUT TO DISMANTLE IT.

362. I'M ALEX AVERY, AND I STUDY GLOBAL FOOD ISSUES.

363. AT GAINING PUBLICITY.

364. TO GAIN ATTENTION IN TODAY'S MEDIA WORLD

365. IS A NEGATIVE STORY, A SCARE STORY.

366. IN TODAY'S MEDIA.

367. GENETICALLY ENGINEERED INGREDIENTS,

368. THEY WILL TAKE FISH GENES, CROSS 'EM WITH... POTATOES,

369. SO THE POTATOES WILL GLOW IN THE DARK.

370. TO DO THAT.

371. SO IT'S MORE RESISTANT TO FROST.

372. IN PLANT CROPS.

373. I'M TERRI LOMAX. I'M A PROFESSOR OF BOTANY AND PLANT PATHOLOGY

374. AT OREGON STATE, UNIVERSITY.

375. THERE'S NO FLOUNDER GENES IN TOMATO,

376. THERE'S NO RAT GENES IN LETTUCE.

377. BETTER.

378. GENES AROUND AND SEE WHAT THEY DO.

379. ARE EVER INTENDED TO BE FOOD CROPS.

380. MEANWHILE,

381. ON THE INNOCENT PUBLIC.

382. LIVING VEGANIC FOOD?

383. NO, THANK YOU.

384. NO, REALLY, IT'S GREAT!

385. NO, NO, THANK YOU.

386. DON'T TELL THEM WHAT IT IS.

387. OH. WHY NOT?

388. THAT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

389. WHAT IT IS?

390. WE GOT NO IDEA, BUT WE'RE PRETTY SURE

391. IN A BEACH HOUSE IN THE U.S.,

392. YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T

393. THAT YOU'RE FIGHTING

394. THEIR CHILDREN.

395. MODIFIED FOOD, WE COULD END HUNGER.

396. CURRENTLY ARE NOT.

397. TO THAT?

398. YEAH, WE COULD FEED BILLIONS OF PEOPLE,

399. 4 EYES.

400. I MEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW. YOU CAN'T PLAY WITH NATURE.

401. WOULD THEY BE?

402. WOULD WE BE CREATING, YOU KNOW?

403. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.

404. WELL, I GUESS SHE EATS SHALLOW, HATEFUL, SELF-CENTERED BULLSHIT!

405. WE CAN'T IMAGINE HOW,

406. DON'T HAVE THE OPTION

407. AND BONDING WITH THE PRODUCE.

408. HAS PLENTY OF FOOD,

409. WE'D LOVE TO HEAR THIS ASSHOLE'S ADVICE.

410. BUT WE'RE CERTAINLY NOT GONNA MISTAKE IT FOR INFORMATION.

411. SPEAKING OF WHICH, BACK TO OUR GREENPEACE WEASEL.

412. IN THE UNITED STATES.

413. THERE'S NOT A SINGLE GOVERNMENT AGENCY,

414. NEITHER THE FDA, USDA, EPA—

415. HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS.

416. WOW! HOW CAN THAT BE TRUE?

417. OH, WAIT—IT ISN'T!

418. SHOULD KNOW THAT.

419. HIGHLY TESTED CROPS THAT WE'VE EVER HAD.

420. THEY'RE REGULATED BY THE EPA, THE USDA,

421. AND THE FDA.

422. IF THERE'S A PESTICIDE INVOLVED,

423. WHERE THEY'RE GROWN

424. INFECT THE ENVIRONMENT,

425. AND THE FDA FOR FOOD SAFETY.

426. MILLIONS OF DOLLARS' WORTH OF TESTING IN MANY YEARS

427. AS A COMMERCIAL CROP.

428. WITH NO TESTING.

429. NATURALLY,

430. GET IN THE WAY OF THEIR PARTY LINE.

431. NAILS THEM FOR WHAT THEY REALLY ARE.

432. IF I'M EATING A PRODUCT

433. THAT IT'S OK FOR VONS OR SAFEWAY

434. OR RALPH'S OR ANYBODY TO SELL IT,

435. LISTEN TO THEM. I CAN'T ARGUE WITH THEM.

436. I CAN'T SAY, "I'M ONLY GONNA LISTEN TO YOU SOME OF THE TIME,

437. BUT I'M GONNA GIVE THAT PRODUCT TO MY FAMILY."

438. YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. IT COMES DOWN TO PERSONAL CHOICE,

439. THE FDA, THAT'S COMPLETELY UP TO YOU.

440. YOU'RE SAYING DON'T TRUST THE GOVERNMENT, OK?

441. I'M AGAINST THAT.

442. WELL, THERE'S SO MUCH

443. SO NOW WE'RE FIGHTING A DIFFERENT BATTLE.

444. WE'RE NOT FIGHTING HEALTH ISSUES.

445. NOW WE'RE FIGHTING A POLITICAL ISSUE,

446. ARE AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT, OBVIOUSLY. YOU JUST SAID IT.

447. OF ABOUT 10 MINUTES,

448. THAT THEY'RE AGAINST GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOOD.

449. THEY'RE AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.

450. HEY! IT'S FINE TO BE ANTI-GOVERNMENT! WE SURE ARE.

451. AND IT'S FINE TO BE ANTI-CORPORATION.

452. BUT DON'T TRY TO PASS IT OFF AS SCIENCE AND COMPASSION.

453. AND HERE'S WHERE IT GETS WAY NOT FUNNY.

454. AT THE 2002 ENVIRONMENTAL SUMMIT IN AFRICA,

455. TO TURN DOWN TONS OF DONATED,

456. THEIR STARVING CHILDREN.

457. THAT THE FOOD WAS POISONOUS.

458. THAT'S JUST... OBSCENE.

459. PEOPLE THAT LIVE ON CLOUD 9

460. COUNTRIES.

461. AND IMPROVEMENTS IN EVERY AREA,

462. BUT IN AGRICULTURE, THEY'RE PUSHING FOR US TO TURN THE CLOCK BACK.

463. TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE, A REAL BRIGHTER FUTURE.

464. THROUGHOUT HISTORY, THERE'S NEVER BEEN AN ABUNDANCE OF FOOD.

465. APPLES, CORN, TOMATOES— ALL MODIFIED.

466. THROUGH SELECTIVE BREEDING OR GRAFTING.

467. FOR 10,000 YEARS,

468. OF THE PLANT.

469. NOW, SOME PEOPLE ARE UP IN ARMS ABOUT CHANGES IN DNA.

470. YOU KNOW WHAT?

471. IF YOU'RE ABLE TO GET UP AND HAVE FOOD, YOU SHOULD CELEBRATE.

472. ABOUT HOW MUCH FOOD WE HAVE.

473. FOOD ADVANCE?

474. OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION

475. OF TURNING DOWN FOOD.

476. SPENDS MOST OF ITS TIME TRYING TO GET ANY FOOD.

477. YOU KNOW WHY? TECHNOLOGICAL PROBLEMS.

478. THEY GOT DIRT, THEY GOT WATER, THEY GOT SUN.

479. ABILITY TO TILL OR ENRICH THE SOIL,

480. ENOUGH TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES.

481. PER ACRE.

482. OF TOO MUCH FOOD.

483. WE CAN'T START GETTING PICKY BECAUSE WE'VE GOT ENOUGH FOOD.

484. THAT'S JUST SELF-CENTERED AND RACIST.

485. ARE STARVING,

486. YOU NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!
