And this is important to you exactly why? hedda_foil May 2014 #1

Probably because the GMO issue is not as cut and dried as some make it out to be Major Nikon May 2014 #4

Watch this 2naSalit May 2014 #10

I'm not so easily convinced Major Nikon May 2014 #11

Hmmm 2naSalit May 2014 #31

There's plenty of reasons to hate on Monsanto without making them up Major Nikon May 2014 #125

Well 2naSalit May 2014 #157

People have been outsmarting nature for thousands of years Major Nikon May 2014 #159

Have to 2naSalit May 2014 #163

That's a bad propaganda video. It promotes nothing but myths. HuckleB May 2014 #21

Gary Null is a fucking idiot... SidDithers May 2014 #24

Didn't know that... 2naSalit May 2014 #32

No worries. And I apologize for jumping all over you... SidDithers May 2014 #33

Yikes 2naSalit May 2014 #35

Some of it is, and some of it isn't. LWolf May 2014 #37

Perhaps because people push her as a spokesperson. HuckleB May 2014 #14

As with many things, there are shades of gray in this discussion. NRaleighLiberal May 2014 #2

Reality is important. HuckleB May 2014 #15

Again, definitions. NRaleighLiberal May 2014 #22

Again, that works for a few small farmers. HuckleB May 2014 #45

Vandana Shiva is someone who knows damn well how multinational corporate agribiz is destroying scarletwoman May 2014 #3

As will I. polly7 May 2014 #12

Great Post! burrowowl May 2014 #48

Thank you Polly. bravenak May 2014 #59

How is it "great info?" HuckleB May 2014 #60

Why should i have to prove anything?? I never claimed to be a scientist. bravenak May 2014 #64

So you don't know when something is baseless propaganda? HuckleB May 2014 #65

No. bravenak May 2014 #73

And labeling GMOs won't tell you one valuable thing about the product. HuckleB May 2014 #75

It will tell me the thing i want to know. bravenak May 2014 #87

Believe it or not, you're not the center of the universe. HuckleB May 2014 #89

You are also not the center of the universe. bravenak May 2014 #90

Prove that I'm wrong. HuckleB May 2014 #91

No. bravenak May 2014 #101

Again, you have no reason to label. You just want to be the center of the universe. HuckleB May 2014 #103

Allergies to food. bravenak May 2014 #108

I'm sorry that happened to you. HuckleB May 2014 #110

Can you prove that cross breeding with food that i am allergic to wont cause a reaction? bravenak May 2014 #119

What is the point of a "genetically modified" label, alp227 May 2014 #92

The point is that i want to know. bravenak May 2014 #97

The reality is that you are safer with GMO than you would be otherwise in that regard Major Nikon May 2014 #131

The reality is that i want to know. bravenak May 2014 #136

So what if I want to know if the produce I buy has been fertilized by cow shit? Major Nikon May 2014 #139

You should be allowed to have access to the info. bravenak May 2014 #143

There's a difference between having access to the information and labeling Major Nikon May 2014 #144

If a company doesn't want to label the products. bravenak May 2014 #145

There is almost no commercially produced food that isn't genetically modified Major Nikon May 2014 #126

I need to know if they cross breed it with something i can't eat. bravenak May 2014 #128

How do you know this about any product, GMO or otherwise? Major Nikon May 2014 #137

I do not have the most common food allergies. bravenak May 2014 #142

The question remains: Why are you bringing up allergies? HuckleB May 2014 #147

Makes sense to me. bravenak May 2014 #148

How does that connect to GMOs? HuckleB May 2014 #152

We went in a circle. bravenak May 2014 #153

You evaded the questions. HuckleB May 2014 #154

You tag teamer. bravenak May 2014 #161

You did great, bravenak.. thank you! Cha May 2014 #156

He actually made me more skeptical than i had been before. bravenak May 2014 #158

Monsanto and their spawns are very afraid of "labels".. they also do not want to tell Cha May 2014 #162

Thats what i figured. bravenak May 2014 #164

They've given us no reason to "trust" them.. with their sleazy orwellian bullshit. nm Cha May 2014 #165

Amen. Nt. bravenak May 2014 #166

Just a FYI, bravenak.. "My Throat Is On Fire - RoundUp" Cha May 2014 #171

Thank you, Cha! bravenak May 2014 #172

Then prove her assertions. HuckleB May 2014 #16

And now for something completely different rocktivity May 2014 #5

So, instead of peer reviewed research, you offered a really bad video. HuckleB May 2014 #17

Children as propaganda 101 mathematic May 2014 #26

I know which potato I'd "go to" rocktivity May 2014 #36

Dr. Shiva IS an eco warrior goddess. nt Hekate May 2014 #7

So, anti-science, dishonest individual equates to that? HuckleB May 2014 #18

I wonder how many who condemn Jenny Mccarthy alp227 May 2014 #93

Monsanto is the bestest n/t 951-Riverside May 2014 #8

Science also gave us Thalidomide, Fukushima, and Global Warming. Downwinder May 2014 #9

I like red herring, too! HuckleB May 2014 #19

And insulin, space travel and the internet...nt SidDithers May 2014 #25

No. Shitty corporate practices gave us those. NuclearDem May 2014 #28

Exactly. Aerows May 2014 #39

And corrected those mistakes. nt alp227 May 2014 #94

"True experts" PaulaFarrell May 2014 #13

2000 peer reviewed studies, all assessed by independent scientists. HuckleB May 2014 #20

Do YOU have a link to that study? n/t angstlessk May 2014 #23

This piece covers it. HuckleB May 2014 #53

Any links to long term studies of human consumption? MohRokTah May 2014 #30

Any links to studies of long term human consumption of hybrids created by other technologies? HuckleB May 2014 #46

I don't trust GMO food for one single reason. MohRokTah May 2014 #27

Hogwash. HuckleB May 2014 #62

GMO is NOT Hybrid tehnology. so YOU are spreading HOGWASH! MohRokTah May 2014 #67

Yes, it is. HuckleB May 2014 #88

You say there is potential harm, burden of proof is on you. alp227 May 2014 #98

You build the strawman to tear it down. MohRokTah May 2014 #100

It appears that you don't know what a strawman is, even though you sure build enough of them. HuckleB May 2014 #106

Oh, and you might tell your friend or your sock or whatever... MohRokTah May 2014 #111

Who is she? A physicist. TBF May 2014 #29

Unfortunately... HuckleB May 2014 #52

Pure, peer-reviewed, repeatable science is a wonderful thing. DisgustipatedinCA May 2014 #34

And your point? HuckleB May 2014 #58

My point is that I don't believe that all the science around GMOs is clean. DisgustipatedinCA May 2014 #63

2000 peer reviewed and post-publication criticized studies. HuckleB May 2014 #66

Here are my thoughts Aerows May 2014 #38

I'm not a fan of the corporations. HuckleB May 2014 #55

"do not appear to be any worse" Aerows May 2014 #95

So you think a single corporation controls the food supply? HuckleB May 2014 #96

GMO technology, in my opinion, is not the issue. Aerows May 2014 #99

But who has the market cornered? HuckleB May 2014 #102

So be it. Aerows May 2014 #105

So you can't answer my question. HuckleB May 2014 #109

No I answered you. Aerows May 2014 #113

Let consumers decide! Why do you hate informed consumers? closeupready May 2014 #40

Putting a label on GMOs offer no information of value whatsoever. HuckleB May 2014 #51

Oh bullshit. killbotfactory May 2014 #167

Informed of what? Informed of what? alp227 May 2014 #115

Dishonest of you, and very disappointing. closeupready May 2014 #122

What if just don't want to eat anything GMO? Can I have a choice? L0oniX May 2014 #41

You have a choice. HuckleB May 2014 #47

I'll give you a time machine. alp227 May 2014 #118

Good luck with your false equivalency. L0oniX May 2014 #121

What do you mean, false equivalency? alp227 May 2014 #124

Sure, you can eat organic or that which is labeled non-GMO Major Nikon May 2014 #149

The Republican War on the Feminine Continues - Sockpuppet style AceAcme May 2014 #42

And, as usual, you can't argue for your assertions. HuckleB May 2014 #54

Howdy Berlum! NuclearDem May 2014 #61

Now that does explain it! HuckleB May 2014 #77

*Smirk*...nt SidDithers May 2014 #133

If there is no issue with GMO's SomethingFishy May 2014 #43

There is no logical reason to label it. HuckleB May 2014 #49

Then why do Gov'ts in Europe TBF May 2014 #56

Politics. HuckleB May 2014 #57

Again with the false comparisons to hybrids MohRokTah May 2014 #68

You're the one spreading misinformation. HuckleB May 2014 #71

You are spreading even more BULLSHIT. MohRokTah May 2014 #76

So you don't understand genetics. HuckleB May 2014 #78

No, you don't understand agriculture. MohRokTah May 2014 #80

So all you can do is offer up the usual anti-GMO cliches. HuckleB May 2014 #81

So all you can offer are the standard pro-GMO lies? MohRokTah May 2014 #84

Prove that I've lied about anything regarding GMOs. HuckleB May 2014 #86

A paid industry shill would not be so earnest. U4ikLefty May 2014 #120

Some argue for the sake of arguing. MohRokTah May 2014 #129

It's new technology that is completely untested in the long term MohRokTah May 2014 #69

Oddly, you've never cared about other hybrid technologies. HuckleB May 2014 #72

GMO is NOT a hybrid btechnology. MohRokTah May 2014 #79

Now that is beyond the pale. HuckleB May 2014 #85

How exactly is it different? Major Nikon May 2014 #150

Simple MohRokTah May 2014 #155

Both your assertions are demonstratably false Major Nikon May 2014 #168

One other thing. MohRokTah May 2014 #160

If GMO foods are so beneficial why does Monsanto (and others) oppose labeling it GMO? Tierra_y_Libertad May 2014 #44

Why do those who work so hard to demonize GMOs ask this question? HuckleB May 2014 #50

Why do those who oppose labeling have no confidence in the product? MohRokTah May 2014 #70

Try responding the actual content of my posts. HuckleB May 2014 #74

Try responding tot the actual content of my posts. MohRokTah May 2014 #82

Post removed Post removed May 2014 #83

You can get a GMO by cross breeding? immoderate May 2014 #135

It seems a valid question. Why does Monsanto oppose labeling their product? Tierra_y_Libertad May 2014 #104

You're response completely ignores my response. HuckleB May 2014 #107

Why do those who work so hard to demonize GMOs ask this question? Tierra_y_Libertad May 2014 #114

This might help you: NuclearDem May 2014 #112

I think Monsanto is more interested in profits than prophecy. Tierra_y_Libertad May 2014 #116

Not surprised you missed the point entirely. NuclearDem May 2014 #127

Not really. Monsanto is trying to fulfill it's own prophecy about it's product being beneficial. Tierra_y_Libertad May 2014 #132

Woosh. NuclearDem May 2014 #138

If Monsanto is afraid of people that will shun their products Aerows May 2014 #123

No argument from me that Monsanto is a shitbag of a company. NuclearDem May 2014 #130

Agree completely! n/t Aerows May 2014 #134

For the same reasons organic producers would oppose labeling their use of cow shit fertilizer Major Nikon May 2014 #151

My two cents. If GMO's are fine, then GMO companies shouldn't fight against labeling. Period. ancianita May 2014 #117

For me personally, the argument revolves around food control politics Aerows May 2014 #140

The whole strategy of nature being for sale seems to be what this is all about, yeah. ancianita May 2014 #146

By "conventional agriculture" they mean corporate agriculture. ozone_man May 2014 #141
