... but I don't. Maybe you look at livestock becoming ill or dropping dead when they are forced to eat GMO feed "hype," but I don't. Maybe you think it's "hype" when swine and cattle turn their nose up to GMO feed when given the choice of GMO and non-GMO feed, but I don't. Maybe you think it's hype that that "Monsanto Appreciation Act" was attached to a funding bill that PO could not veto, that it was not a coincidence, but I don't. Did you even READ that Monsanto legislation? Why would that legislation even be necessary, if there wasn't something horribly wrong/dangerous about their GMO foods? Why won't Monsanto label GMO foods? What is it hiding?

You make it sound like I am against PO. That whatever he does, I am against it. Not true. You are using very immature trite nanny-pooh-pooh false equivalencies. Not a good idea on DU. Anyway, you enjoy your stay!
