(19,841 posts)---I guess he turned this little chat over to you after he wrote his definitive essay and didn't want to reply to the report at the link I posted.
And so you will trot out your industry propaganda........... Moving on...
You guys are either invested in this as employees or scientists involved in GMO research, or you have financial investments in the industry. Or you're a Monsanto CEO with a laptop on a vacation island and you're bored with counting your money and checking your stocks.
(Or you've got acres of GMO soy and corn--but I doubt farmers would be defending this so hard).
Being in the health field I'm not invested in the GMO issue for any sort of financial gain. But you are, or have been, amirite? I haven't seen such purple apoplexy and foaming at the mouth since the last NSA/Snowden thread...
One thing I KNOW the industry is scared of is the use of GMO products in BODY PRODUCTS and COSMETICS. This is as big as the corporate control of food substances. GMO corn IS currently being used in a large number of "organic" and "natural" body products. Stuff you smear in your face, hair and armpits.
You, know --Zemea Maize. (Even if it's less harmful than eating it who wants to support the GMO industry?)
