monsanto corn is GM... why?
to be able to stand the harmful effects of ROUND UP> their pesticide... or they make the corn with it in it now...

the toxin from said corn...IS TERRIBLE FOR HUMANS
the NATURAL toxin used in BT corn is particularly toxic to caterpillars (budworms) but NOT so to humans and other mammals. those far there has been only ONNE study (out of many) which showed advrse reactions in rats. the rats were ffed BT corn at a rate far higher than people would consume, and the toxicology results were very minor, and the rats were not sick, did not die from eating BT corn, and the results have yet to be replicated. but you would have to stuff yourself with BT corn till you burst to get the results found in the rats, results which were asymptomatic untill the rats were terminated and examined in a necropsy.
the mad claims that BT cotton makes people who wear cotton clothing ill is absolutely ridonkulously retarded.
yes. pests become resistant to pesticides and other means of controlling them. they always have. whats your point?
pests like the rootworm, boll weevil and mosaic viruses drop crop yeilds in the toilet, and sometimes wipe out entire crops, developing methods to kill pests and save crops is not an evil profit motive, it is ESSENTIAL. burying your head in the dirt and claiming that pesticides are evil, and then declaring the only method that DOESNT use pesticides is even more evil is not helpful.
if the eco-nauts have a proposal to protect crops with "good vibes" and crystal power, why havent they stepped up?
why do you think everybody else "needs to learn more", when you are citing a blog post from a dolt who doesnt even understand what he is talking about?
GMO crops are NOT causing bee colony collapse syndrome.
this citation is absolutely useless. "terminator" seeds dont kill bees, nor do "terminator" seeds require pesticides to germinate, the plants grown from these seeds (and every one is an ANNUAL) are intended to produce sterile seeds at harvest, solely to prevent the sale of seeds to others, an the saving of seeds. GMO's are not the only sterile plants, several well known hybrid varieties of ordinary selective breeding crops produce sterile seeds. the seeds for these crops must be purchased from the hybridizer every year.
most of the crops referenced in this shitty rant arent even available as a GMO. tree fruits, tree nuts grapes, berries, etc etc etc are NOT GMO's. they dont grow from "terminator seeds" "terminator seeds" do not have any property which could affect bees when the plants are in flower for pollination, and in fact "terminatoer seeds" are NOT YET ON THE MARKET!
you are the one who needs to "learn more about" well... pretty much everything youre posting here.
ohh wait, just a moment ago it was the entirely theoretical "terminator seeds" that were killing off the bees, now its pesticides? amazing.
and now it's both pesticides AND GMO's... wow. you sure are smart.
golly geee... less typing for me.. but a lot of reading for you.
so very very smart. so intensely clever that you believe "GMO Journal" is a scientific journal, that EU bans on american ag products has anything to do with GMO's, rather than an convenient excuse for protecting of their own ag systems without wrecking their otherwise advantageous "free trade" agreements.
you greenies are so dumb, you cant even put two and two together and get that the EU is using GMO terror as a smokescreen for protectionism.
oh and the flavonoid study had everything to do with GMO you just don't understand the larger picture of how the food we eat is the medicine of life.

more "science" i see. brilliant.
if i watch "an inconvenient truth" ill get accurate data on "global warming" too right? maybe "Loose Change version 37, The Really Final Cut, And This Time We Mean It" will "prove" that 9/11 was an inside job,
i have not purchased corn from wal-mart in two-years. only roadside corn and i can havea discussion with the person who grew it. just like my cannabis.
and in winter you eat what? ohh yeah, you think that roadside stand grows "Year Round Corn" and watermelons that ripen best when under 5 feet of snow....
except i grow that myself and organically of course. and i take care of pests most by companion growing and other organic methods.
and when your precious dope gets infested with spidermites, powdery mildew or budworms youll be spraying anything you can get. even Neem, which is LETHAL to bees.
arent you just the most special of all snowlflakes.
