(64 posts)Clinking three at random I find that:
1) two are links to claims that Roundup causes cancer, which has exactly zero to do with GMOs being bad for us. Herbicides are an issue, but let's deal with issue rather than trying to conflate it with something else.
2) one is a link to the Seralini study which is notorious for being utter, soundly debunked garbage. Those scary pictures of rats with ugly, disfiguring tumors? That's because all rats are prone to developing tumors and Seralini deliberately chose a strain that is bred specifically to develop big tumors for use in cancer research.
So I can stop here, confident that all the other links are to the same discredited nonsense that you anti-science propagandists have been pushing.
The stupid, frustrating thing is that there are real problems with the way American industrial agriculture is organized and we seriously need to deal with this, but we won't because stupid and ignorant people - like you, mister horticulturalist - are pushing dishonest feel-good non-solutions like GMO bans that do exactly nothing to address the real problems.
The GMO ban is a great big useless distraction, a waste of time that leaves us farther than we were at the start from any real solutions to any real problems, and the persistent use of false and discredited arguments reflects poorly on everyone on the Left: it makes us all look like liars who can not be trusted.
