Actually, the wheat is not GMO but it is sprayed with Roundup a week before harvest to dry it out womanofthehills Jul 2016 #11
so the majority of the wheat in the USA is contaminated with glyphosate Elmergantry Jul 2016 #17
Actually, Tropical Traditions - only sells organic and could barely find wheat without glyphosate womanofthehills Jul 2016 #25
Same researcher claimed GMOs were going to make everyone autistic Major Nikon Jul 2016 #2
And she says GMOs cause concussions, too! HuckleB Jul 2016 #3

Nor is there any penalty at DU for ugly attacks against posters who prefer science. HuckleB Jul 2016 #30
Again Projection on who is making ugly attacks!!! womanofthehills Jul 2016 #59
There's no projection. HuckleB Jul 2016 #61
Guess the lawyers against Monsanto have some "good science." womanofthehills Jul 2016 #162
Courts don't do science well, and they haven't even won anything. HuckleB Jul 2016 #165
Many other countries have also banned GMO's - Poland is joining the long list womanofthehills Jul 2016 #57
So you acknowledge that many European politicians aren't very good at science. HuckleB Jul 2016 #93
sciencebasedmedicine is run by a corporate shill - womanofthehills Jul 2016 #14
Once again, you are not being honest at all. HuckleB Jul 2016 #28

"Glyphosate contaminated food" MohRokTah Jul 2016 #32
The FDA Will Begin Testing Food for Glyphosate, the Most Heavily Used Farm Chemical Ever womanofthehills Jul 2016 #41

Yet another example of how stupid pseudoscience nonsense like the OP costs you money Major Nikon Jul 2016 #103
So you believe our food supply should not be tested for herbicides and chemicals. womanofthehills Jul 2016 #152
Nope, it is an incredible waste of money. MohRokTah Jul 2016 #153

Actually, many people have been injured by vaccines and RFK Jr has represented them womanofthehills Jul 2016 #44
RFK Jr. is an anti-vaxxer nutcase pushing the phony auism bullshit. MohRokTah Jul 2016 #45
Actually, the government Vaccine Court does compensate for autism - from CBS News womanofthehills Jul 2016 #56
Yet Autism has never been caused by vaccines. MohRokTah Jul 2016 #60
So you're an anti-vaxxer also Major Nikon Jul 2016 #77
I never said that - womanofthehills Jul 2016 #81
So why are you working so hard trying to defend JFK Jr's anti-vax nuttery? Major Nikon Jul 2016 #83
Well, it's not the first time she's pushed anti-vaccine nonsense. HuckleB Jul 2016 #90
Gotta love being able to have your cake and eat it too Major Nikon Jul 2016 #95
It is truly amazing, indeed. HuckleB Jul 2016 #96
Your status as an anti-vaccine promoter is well known. HuckleB Jul 2016 #91
The last time you promoted that guy and that page, it didn't work out so well. HuckleB Jul 2016 #39
Of course you would not like a lawyer who goes after polluters womanofthehills Jul 2016 #49
Of course, you would go with a red herring. HuckleB Jul 2016 #51
And they would be wrong, and not progressive. HuckleB Jul 2016 #92
You are on a liberal site saying it's dumb to condemn Monsanto womanofthehills Jul 2016 #21
I love good science, not Monsanto. eom MohRokTah Jul 2016 #23

Actually, autism is increasing big time - 6 to 15 per cent each year womanofthehills Jul 2016 #50

What kind of idiot would deny RoundUp is used extensively in the suburbs? bvar22 Jul 2016 #104
What kind of idiot would claim I denied that? Major Nikon Jul 2016 #105
I found the idea of people spraying Roundup willy-nilly in the suburbs quite amusing. NuclearDem Jul 2016 #108
Have you never had a lawn? Millions of people spray Roundup on the weeds in their lawn. womanofthehills Jul 2016 #111
The key word being weeds, not lawn Major Nikon Jul 2016 #116
Of course, if you use it on the weeds in your lawn, you will probably kill lawn, too. HuckleB Jul 2016 #118
Kinda funny how someone panics over the possibility that glyphosate MIGHT get tracked on their rug Major Nikon Jul 2016 #125

So you are opposed to poisons. HuckleB Jul 2016 #136
Roundup is a poison. You know it and I know it. The difference is that you are hysterically Squinch Jul 2016 #139
So you only "care" about one product. HuckleB Jul 2016 #141
It's an obvious fact in the same way salt and vinegar is a "poison" Major Nikon Jul 2016 #172
I understand you have a passionate desire to defend complete bullshit like the OP Major Nikon Jul 2016 #154
I have said, which seems to terrify you, that Roundup is a poison that is damaging to people. Squinch Jul 2016 #157

Oh, that's your excuse. RapSoDee Jul 2016 #168
What's your excuse for promoting ludicrous pseudoscience and baseless fear mongering? HuckleB Jul 2016 #170

Lack of ethics among the "organic" pushers. Archae Jul 2016 #138
Yeah, changing the subject to anti-vax doesn't support your position. Roundup is a poison. Squinch Jul 2016 #137
He merely pointed out the fact that the anti-GMO crowd tends to push all types of pseudoscience. HuckleB Jul 2016 #140
Roundup is a poison. It's damaging people. You know it and I know it. Squinch Jul 2016 #142
Your mantra is meaningless. HuckleB Jul 2016 #144
