In reply to the discussion: No more GMO: Monsanto drops bid to approve new crops in Europe [View all]DeSwiss
(27,137 posts)13. There's plenty of evidence.....
... if you know where to look.
And while I like PZ, that's total bullshit he's spewing. There's a complete difference between the modifying and the manipulating of existing genes by man but which were created by Nature. As opposed to the splicing of things into genes that were never intended nor created this way in Nature, and to do so for SOLELY FOR PROFITS. Okay?
That's what GMO's CREATION WAS ALL ABOUT. NOT ABOUT SAVING HUMANITY OR FEEDING THE WORLD BUT MAXIMIZING OUTPUTS BY REDUCING LOSSES AND THEN CASHING IN!!
They made GMO shit this way just so the plants are impervious to POISONS! Which we then consume. Which is exactly what glyphosate is. How can that NOT BE HARMFUL"???

I imagine it's easier to trivialize and minimize the person than it is to take valid exception

Oh, it's just a single case history, but wait for the GMO labeling laws to be implemented.
