New study on safety of Roundup "reflects rat liver and kidney damage" at low doses [View all] nationalize the fed Aug 2015 OP

I am for labeling crops that are gmo so can avoid those who aren't and who use roundup uppityperson Aug 2015 #1

Wouldn't roundup labeling be more direct? Lee-Lee Aug 2015 #2

Labeling a product GMO is specific enough. Most people won't care pnwmom Aug 2015 #11

Actually, I'd rather have them labeled what pesticides were used when so I could uppityperson Aug 2015 #25

Time wouldn't make much difference for the Roundup pnwmom Sep 2015 #58

I agree, that would be better, to label who uses GBH, thank you. uppityperson Aug 2015 #20

Are you saying I am belittling or insulting? What? Please clarify. Thank you. uppityperson Aug 2015 #5

Right. They're always trying to link GMO's and vaccines. They might as well pnwmom Aug 2015 #12

Not quite. progressoid Aug 2015 #50

Not a lot of vaccines are GEO's, but some are. My post acknowledged that. pnwmom Sep 2015 #52

If you're not against them, why label them? progressoid Sep 2015 #56

Roundup is also used on non-gmo crops. progressoid Aug 2015 #9

The Suburbs are also saturated with it, along with other toxins. bvar22 Aug 2015 #21

The issue with "Agent Orange" was incomplete combustion in some process batches Drahthaardogs Aug 2015 #48

"Remember: Monsanto did "scientific studies" that "proved" Agent Orange was safe!!!" malokvale77 Sep 2015 #85

No, Monsanto did no such thing. HuckleB Sep 2015 #102

So contract with the government... malokvale77 Sep 2015 #119

That was my point, sorry for being unclear uppityperson Aug 2015 #51

Non-GMO (non Roundup-ready, that is) use MORE Roundup. alarimer Aug 2015 #18

I am highly amused at your insults. Reread what I wrote and try again. uppityperson Aug 2015 #19

You got lambasted for making a simple point. Rex Sep 2015 #75

My point was avoiding non gmo crops and those who use roundup and other pest/herb icides close uppityperson Sep 2015 #89

I think I will continue to grow and provide my own produce, I know what happens then. Thinkingabout Aug 2015 #4

Me too. I like having my own garden. It makes it difficult to buy veggies in uppityperson Aug 2015 #6

And he's hated by the Heritage Foundation and the Koch brothers. pnwmom Aug 2015 #14

Well, a point in his favor would be something he has not yet shown. longship Aug 2015 #16

This paper has been published in a peer-reviewed journal. That means it stood up to peer review. nt pnwmom Aug 2015 #17

Nope, that isn't how it works. longship Aug 2015 #22

Duh. But the initial peer reviewers approved its publication. pnwmom Aug 2015 #30

Well, it is a dodgy journal. longship Aug 2015 #31

....and becausde you think it is "dodgy" means that products containing GMOs.... bvar22 Sep 2015 #64

The science says that labeling is unnecessary. longship Sep 2015 #65

In case you misssed it in the above post, I'll repeat. bvar22 Sep 2015 #67

Well, all food is genetically modified. longship Sep 2015 #68

That is a BS myth created by Monsanto. bvar22 Sep 2015 #70

Humans have NOT used Natural Selection to improve crops and livestock throughout history... yawnmaster Sep 2015 #72

Nope! Nice try. longship Sep 2015 #73

There is a VERY clear line. bvar22 Sep 2015 #76

Again, nope! longship Sep 2015 #78

You keep eating what Monsanto and Agri Business puts on your plate, bvar22 Sep 2015 #79

"Nature takes little baby steps, and some "experiments" don't survive...and THAT is a good thing." NuclearDem Sep 2015 #77

Nowhere have I advocated for keeping sick people sick, bvar22 Sep 2015 #81

What exactly is amazingly better about "natural" processes than "unnatural" ones? NuclearDem Sep 2015 #82

You FAILED to respond to my challenge. bvar22 Sep 2015 #84

Because your challenge is completely ridiculous, sets an unrealistically high burden of safety NuclearDem Sep 2015 #87

"Peer reviewed, long term studies published in legitimate Journals is rediculous." bvar22 Sep 2015 #91

And for the cherry on top, you're completely dishonest. NuclearDem Sep 2015 #92

"Peer reviewed, long term studies published in legitimate Journals is rediculous." bvar22 Sep 2015 #94

Repeat a lie all you want, bvar. That won't make it true. NuclearDem Sep 2015 #95

You still haven't produced ANY independently reviewed studies bvar22 Sep 2015 #96

Well, I don't like Monsanto anymore than I like Seralini. longship Aug 2015 #45

How can you say that "all the science says it is safe" when Monsanto was allowed pnwmom Aug 2015 #47

Because every study cited by anti-GMO folks have big problems. longship Aug 2015 #49

The studies sponsored by the producers all have clear conflicts of interest, pnwmom Sep 2015 #53

Conflicts of interest are part of the peer review. longship Sep 2015 #54

Studies that GMO producers prevented from being published are being reviewed by no one. nt pnwmom Sep 2015 #55

Rubbish! longship Sep 2015 #57

You missed my point completely. And this is a matter of FACT. pnwmom Sep 2015 #59

That has not stopped studies in other countries. L0oniX Aug 2015 #40

As the recent editorial in the American Journal of Medicine explained, pnwmom Aug 2015 #33

Michael Taylor has never worked for the EPA Major Nikon Sep 2015 #105
