And some genetic practices may be helping to reduce those very problems. HuckleB Feb 2014 #52

Please explain how the post in that link is in any way "back to the real world," Denzil_DC Feb 2014 #57

So you're response is to pretend that the piece is a single study? HuckleB Feb 2014 #59

You seem to have a habit of obfuscating and trying to put words in people's mouths, Denzil_DC Feb 2014 #65

I'm not the one who is obfuscating or creating strawmen. HuckleB Feb 2014 #66

For someone who's hopping round these subthreads, Denzil_DC Feb 2014 #74

I have posted solid stuff when it was needed. HuckleB Feb 2014 #77

Huh? Good grief. Denzil_DC Feb 2014 #81

She posted the usual personal attack BS, and made claims that she couldn't support. HuckleB Feb 2014 #82

"She posted the usual personal attack BS, and made claims that she couldn't support." Denzil_DC Feb 2014 #84

Nice cliche. HuckleB Feb 2014 #89

I've come to the considered conclusion you're just trolling at this point. n/t EOF Denzil_DC Feb 2014 #90

So you're going to claim that I'm doing what you've been doing. HuckleB Feb 2014 #92

Environmental impact of pesticides Zorra Feb 2014 #11

How does your wiki link address anything in the article linked in the OP? HuckleB Feb 2014 #31

Oh, small things, like pesticides really are deadly poison and highly destructive to critical Zorra Feb 2014 #55

In other words, you can't answer my question. HuckleB Feb 2014 #56

Only because you can't, or refuse to, understand the answer. nt Zorra Feb 2014 #62

I understand the fact that you have no answer very well. HuckleB Feb 2014 #63

When you find something that clearly isn't multinational corporate propaganda, I'll be impressed. Zorra Feb 2014 #67

I'm not pushing anything but good evidence. HuckleB Feb 2014 #68

It's good evidence that corporate bullshit for profit exists, for sure. Zorra Feb 2014 #85

You seem to think that posting anti-science goofiness is worthy. HuckleB Feb 2014 #86

In my personal opinion (whatever that's worth), Dr Hobbitstein Feb 2014 #23

It is not quite that simple. RC Feb 2014 #28

They aren't putting pesticides/insectcides in plants.... Dr Hobbitstein Feb 2014 #29

I heard a guy on Coast to Coast say GMOs are bad NobodyHere Feb 2014 #32

You are correct. RC Feb 2014 #33

Monoculture is an issue in farming period... Dr Hobbitstein Feb 2014 #35

Some GMO crops most definitely have been modified to make their own Round Up RC Feb 2014 #39

RoundUp is poisonous. If it were in the plant, it would kill you... Dr Hobbitstein Feb 2014 #41

You're confusing BT pesticide with Round-Up herbicide NickB79 Feb 2014 #136

Look up super weeds, which are actually a big problem. The fact that GMO pushers seem to be ignorant Chathamization Feb 2014 #110

Super weeds were an issue long before GMOs. HuckleB Feb 2014 #120

NYT and Nature says GMOs are responsible. Ignorance doesn't mean "facts I don't like" Chathamization Feb 2014 #123

That addresses a specific case. You are pretending that this only case. HuckleB Feb 2014 #127

What do you post other than Big Pharma and Corporate Farm promos? n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #79

I only post things that show what the science shows. HuckleB Feb 2014 #80

Funny, I thought this was a left wing political site, not a Big Pharma/Farm site. n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #83

When did left wing become synonymous with anti-science BS? HuckleB Feb 2014 #91

Progressives are pro-environment, not anti-science. pnwmom Feb 2014 #93

Science-based evidence aims to protect the environment. HuckleB Feb 2014 #94
