GMO Takeover

Even though in my post I specifically said I don't like Monsanto? How fiendish and clever of me!! I dislike Monsanto for their business practices. Lumping everything "GMO" in with how Monsanto functions is ridiculous. If your problem is with them or how they work, I completely agree. Their patenting and lawsuit spree is outright ridiculous.

Evidence of what? You're mixing up GMO with the organic food movement again. Nothing is to stop someone from pouring pesticides on a non-genetically modified food, and nothing is to stop someone from growing a genetically modified seed organically. They are TOTALLY separate issues.

The fact that you are trying to sound like an expert on this movement, and have no idea that genetically modified foods don't have to be labeled, really does not help your credibility, and I'm not saying that to be mean. The movement to get the FDA to require GMO's to be labeled is HUGE, and I don't even follow the industry. As far as the organic label, something can have ean organic label on it and still contain up to 30% genetically modified food. There is a separate label for "100% organic" that is supposed to not contain ANY GMO food. Big difference.

Have YOU googled GMO lately?

The classic conspiracy believer tends to focus on only those facts that support his/her position and ignors any other facts that may cast doubt......

So...lets look at some facts....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food

Ya know...the above is not much different that what my mom's family was doing 50 years ago...they grew orange trees...so they would spend 10-12 hours on their knees grafting buds from other types of orange trees on the seedlings. This was the original way plants were 'genetically modified'.

The new method is just a bit more exact.....

Lets be honest....the real push behind the anti GMO crowd is financial....what better way to promote the sale of your 'organic crop' than to convince people that GMO foods are not safe....not only do you sale more, but you jack the price up more than the comparible item.

^^THAT is the real conspiracy....

Water is probably also an ingredient of the famous Agent Orange used in Vietnam, stop fear-mongering.

Then say "known carcinogen 2,4-D" (and, at least according to the few articles I just skimmed on this, it is not a "known" carcinogen, but a "debated" carcinogen), not "an ingredient in Agent Orange." The latter is irrelevant and disingenuous and used purely for shock factor.

Ok, I've deleted all "troll worthy" posts....

I formulated and hope you all will help update a pros/cons list in post #1 for Round-up ready and 2,4-D Resistant GMOs...

I started this post so I could be slapped in the face for being wrong. And it worked great, hence my deletions. But, my reservations on GMOs have yet to be reversed. Only my individual factoids have been challenged, not the overall picture. So, please do respond to the pros/cons list...
