More pesticides herbicides fungicides equal more need for oil equal more climate change and on and and on.

Pesticides herbicides and fungicides on the bottle state they are poison to humans. We eat the plants, which are poisoned, we get poisoned from the plants. GMOs rely on these poisons to grow. So which part do you not understand? The common sense part or the basic science part or both?

I guess Monsanto needs to improve its outreach programs then... nt GliderGuider Sep 2014 #19

I said GMOs, I didn't say a single thing about Monsanto ag_dude Sep 2014 #21

Most people are happily stuffing down the GMO everything. GliderGuider Sep 2014 #22

You act as if I'm the one that made the original graphic. ag_dude Sep 2014 #23

I completely agree with the OP - I'm just responding to your comment about science. GliderGuider Sep 2014 #24

Because of who funds the research? ag_dude Sep 2014 #25

So how do you turn public trust around? GliderGuider Sep 2014 #27

Report on the actual science. ag_dude Sep 2014 #29

We don't trust the reported science in this area. GliderGuider Sep 2014 #30

I realize that, there's no hope for people like you ag_dude Sep 2014 #31

When Big Corporations like Novartis and Monsanto outright truedelphi Sep 2014 #32

Ignore those studies then... ag_dude Sep 2014 #33

truedelphi just pointed you to a different result. GliderGuider Sep 2014 #34

I understand red flags ag_dude Sep 2014 #35

Insulting people always helps your case. GliderGuider Sep 2014 #36

I'm not lashing out at anything ag_dude Sep 2014 #38

IMO you are drawing a false equivalency GliderGuider Sep 2014 #39

It's stunning how far people go to protect and promote their poison. Dont call me Shirley Sep 2014 #40

It's human nature. The more we have to protect, the more protective we become. nt GliderGuider Sep 2014 #42

Then why do we not protect nature, instead protecting poisoners like Monsatan? Dont call me Shirley Sep 2014 #44

There's your problem, it's science not "corporate" ag_dude Sep 2014 #41

Any time a corporation's profits depend on a particular aspect of science GliderGuider Sep 2014 #43

You do know that Bt plants... ag_dude Sep 2014 #47

Although now there are super pests because of the chemicals leading to more pests, Dont call me Shirley Sep 2014 #48

I see that you don't actually know what Bt is. ag_dude Sep 2014 #49

So I wouldn't have to spend extra money buying bt and spraying it. Good. BUT, there is jtuck004 Sep 2014 #54

How many more decades of research do you need? ag_dude Sep 2014 #56

? I'm not disagreeing, but who funded those studies? If it was the people jtuck004 Sep 2014 #62

I see you don't get the dangers of GMO, to the earth, the creatures and humans. Dont call me Shirley Sep 2014 #60

Snarky replies that are unfortunately the norm for the anti-GMO crowd ag_dude Sep 2014 #61

A large amount of snark comes from the pro-GMO crowd as well. Dont call me Shirley Sep 2014 #63

I'm talking about you specifically. ag_dude Sep 2014 #64

A few facts Dont call me Shirley Sep 2014 #65

You didn't link to a single scientific paper, which is typical of the anti-GMO crowd ag_dude Sep 2014 #66

Nor did you Dont call me Shirley Sep 2014 #67

Do you really need a link to a scientific paper on what Bt crops are for? ag_dude Sep 2014 #68
