Why don't you try it, and if not are you a cinnamon shill? When you post a reply please also post a video of you eating a teaspoon of cinnamon. If you think cinnamon is not a carcinogen think again, Cinnamomum aromaticum (C. cassia) which is the most common form of cinnamon in the USA is a carcinogen. See Cinnamon contains Coumarin, which is a flavoring substance and can be found in a lot of plants. In high doses it can cause liver damages. Researchers have seen carcinogen properties in animal testings. So is the anti-GMO crowd now going to start posting about cinnamon? no, because that would be crazy. Its cinnamon, but scarey science stuff, sure. I want to see the "label it has cinnamon crowd" pop up somewhere. We have a right to know!!!!!!!!!! For our Kids!!!!! People would laugh at you right? Because that would be crazy. Crazy.

I think a lot of Monsanto's food is grown to feed the animals that are then slaughtered for human consumption. I just prefer to eat fresh vegetables that are grown normally.

4. So Patrick Moore calls the Canal+ Journalist a "jerk"

because he called his bluff.

What a piece of filth. Arrogant, Ignorant money grubbing jackass.

This Moore creep is the poster boy for why Americans are the new buffoons of the world. Shame on you Moore.

Moore, a biologist, had been an environmentalist for Greenpeace before becoming a lobbyist for the nuclear, logging and genetic engineering industries.-RT


Newsweek says he's not a Monsanto lobbyist. But that doesn't make him not a jerk.

“Dr. Patrick Moore is not and never has been a paid lobbyist for Monsanto,” Charla Lord, a spokesperson for Monsanto, wrote in an email Friday.


Oh lookie here- how many times are GMO Skeptics compared to Climate Change Deniers?

Newsweek: Patrick Moore is a former Greenpeace member and an ecology PhD with an unusual history. He is an ardent proponent of genetically modified crops and a vocal skeptic of man-made climate change. In 2014, he testified to a U.S. Senate committee that there is “no scientific proof” that humans are driving the global warming.

In 2010, Moore became a controversial figure for his work on an environmental sustainability report for Asian Pulp & Paper, an Indonesian company derided by groups like the World Wildlife Fund for, among other things, threatening endangered Sumatran orangutan and tiger habitats.

Moore’s report came back glowing. APP, he said, was "engaged in world-class sustainable forest management,” according to the Guardian.

“Moore is seen by some environmentalists as the most brazen of the spin doctors they face,” the Guardian’s George Monbiot wrote at the time.

6. Patrick Moore is a paid shill, he runs a PR company called "Greenspirit"

Patrick Moore is an ecologist who denies that humans cause climate change, and a corporate consultant through his firm Greenspirit Strategies. Moore has consulted for the Nuclear Energy Institute, and the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition. He has worked for the mining industry, the logging industry, PVC manufacturers, the nuclear industry and has worked in defense of biotechnology.

Although Moore was once (1981, 1986) a leading figure with Greenpeace Canada and subsequently with Greenpeace International, in 2008 Greenpeace issued a statement distancing itself from Moore, saying he "exploits long gone ties with Greenpeace to sell himself as a speaker and pro-corporate spokesperson, usually taking positions that Greenpeace opposes."

On Global warming
AGW denier Patrick Moore

In 2014 Moore said that he "fear[s] a global cooling" and insisted that recent statistics show the US is cooling and that there has been "no global warming for nearly 18 years". Speaking at a conference hosted by the Heartland Institute, a denier think tank, Moore went on to say "Let’s hope for a little warming as opposed to a little cooling. I would rather it got a little warmer. If it warms two degrees, hopefully more in Canada in the North…maybe it would be a good thing if it did." He went on to suggest that unless changes are made to the way children are taught about climate change, "there will be a whole generation of people who are just blindly following this climate hysteria."[4]

The entire Board, directors, and scientists need to come before congress and drink their own kool-aid.
