@jaytrout I’m listening to blank generation talkback radio and some fool has rung in insisting there’s no evidence that GMO’s are harmful. Well he hasn’t looked real hard, has he?
One would have to be wilfully ignorant to say this. The studies come in at a slow trickle, but they all seem to point to significant problems. For me, the tell-all was the University of Iowa study a couple of years ago, that indicated over a long period, that GMOs are less cost effective, and have less yield per dollar spent, than do non-GMo natural crops
From what I’ve read, it may not be genetic modifications per se but the added pesticides that GMOing enables the mega-monster farming corporations to spray them with that’s the real problem; glyphosate being the worst but others, as well. According to what I’ve read they are able to spray 10 times the amount or some such. Maybe more than that, even, I can’t remember exactly what it was but it was a LOT. If glyphosate was totally harmless, WHY would these monster corps fight tooth and nail against labeling? THAT was the kicker, for me. Labeling.
He gets his script from Mon[ster]santo whose trolls thoroughly infest cyberspace.
