I took that on above.

And you cite that lying idiot, Joseph Mercola??? Why do anti-GMO folks have to lie to make their case?

If folks want to have a meaningful discussion, they should stick to the real science, not made up shit by idiot anti-science ideologues.

I don't know who's worse. The climate science deniers, the anti-vaccination kooks, the anti genetic modification ideologues, or the evolution denying creationists. They are all the same to me.

Sorry for being harsh, my friend, but you are not helping your case.
