GMOs are bad for biodiversity, bad for non-corporate farming, bad for the public's right to natural

[Attorney in Texas]

93. You are wrong and you know you are wrong. My anti-GMO views are based on the ill effect it has on

independent farming and on consumer rights.

That preference is unrelated to the science about whether GMOs are more or less healthful to consume than non-GMOs.

If I prefer to buy fair-trade coffee, you may share that view or you may disparage that view. I don't care. My preference wouldn't be based on your approval or disapproval and science about the similarity of coffee labeled as fair-trade and coffee without that label doesn't enter into the picture.

You may prefer free-range chicken and you may hate the idea of eating veal, and I may or may not share your views. But it does not matter if I post articles that free-range chickens taste the same as factory-farm chickens or veal is not as healthy as a lean cut of pork because that would not be the basis for your preference.

I might be someone who boycotts conflict diamonds, and you can offer industry sponsored articles arguing that the conflict diamonds are the sparkliest, but that would have no bearing on my decision.

As consumers, you and I are entitled to prefer fair-trade coffee and free-range chickens or not, to boycott veal and conflict diamonds or not. As consumers we are entitled to such information to inform our decisions.

Likewise, I prefer non-GMO products because of the horrible damages inflicted on independent farming. There have been billions of dollars in settlements from GMO monopolists paying independent farmers who have been bankrupted because the GMO pirates have violated laws by their misbehavior.

On the topic of whether you agree or not about my preference for non-GMO foods, I have no fucks to give you. My preference is based on two things: (1) the lawsuits involving financially ruined farmers which I am personally familiar with and (2) my knowledge of consumer rights to such information about whether a food is GMO or not.

You are aware of the billions the GMO industry has paid for the damages it has wrongfully inflicted on the independent farmers and don't pretend that you are not. No one defends such shitty business practices with your zeal without acquiring some knowledge of the hell wrought by the industry you defend.

The tobacco industry also had defenders like you.
