"Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." Zorra Mar 2015 #54
So why do you work so hard to deceive people about GMOs? HuckleB Mar 2015 #68
There is a HUGE difference between hybridization... gregcrawford Mar 2015 #67
In other words, GMOs are more predictable hybrids. HuckleB Mar 2015 #69
We really are fighting an uphill battle re: GMO food labeling yet asiliveandbreathe Mar 2015 #3
You realize that organic production requirements are just haphazard, right? HuckleB Mar 2015 #21

Flashback Major Nikon Mar 2015 #15
The truth hurts, so you try to distract. Typical. pnwmom Mar 2015 #16
The truth is you employed the exact same tactic Major Nikon Mar 2015 #17
Monsanto's been saying one thing to the regulators, and another to the farmers fooled into buying pnwmom Mar 2015 #23
And here's what you said.... Major Nikon Mar 2015 #24
They knew perfectly well 20 years ago that the continuous use of Roundup pnwmom Mar 2015 #26
They also published that 20 years ago Major Nikon Mar 2015 #30
But that's NOT what they were telling the farmers in the ads of their product. pnwmom Mar 2015 #31
Yes, they were saying herbicides must be used continuously. Of course, they were! HuckleB Mar 2015 #36
The better way is for crops and herbicides to be rotated, not for one crop and one herbicide pnwmom Mar 2015 #37

So you admit that there is no point in discussing any matter with you at all. HuckleB Mar 2015 #50
So, you think it's ok to push BS if it agrees with your preconceptions. HuckleB Mar 2015 #46
The messenger is making it up. HuckleB Mar 2015 #51
So you're going for guilt-by-association. Who cares? Drucker's just one person mentioned in the beginning of the article, pnwmom Mar 2015 #13
And so far you've shown nothing to back it up. Archae Mar 2015 #25
Skulls and arrows? Scarecrows? Where did I post a single such poster? pnwmom Mar 2015 #27
Monsanto's goal is to collapse the natural ecosystem and get exclusive rights to our food supply, whereisjustice Mar 2015 #7
Precisely. 99Forever Mar 2015 #8

There is nothing misleading about correct labeling. And the food manufacturers have zero credibility pnwmom Mar 2015 #59
So would it be OK to label food fertilized with shit? Major Nikon Mar 2015 #63
Why wouldn't it be? I wouldn't object to the disclosure of the type of fertilizer used, including manure. pnwmom Mar 2015 #64
Good question Major Nikon Mar 2015 #65
There is a profound difference between simple and clear labeling and scaremongering. pnwmom Mar 2015 #66
If the labels are true, and the truth alarms consumers, then tough shit. closeupready Mar 2015 #73
