We thought the organic food movement... to make organic food mandatory... was bad. Now, we have the anti-GMO movement, which projects one company's bad behavior onto a whole industry and ignores all the improvements to which the technology has led. Beat on what was Monsanto, but wild projection onto everything related to GMOs would be like claiming that Big Pharma has no drugs at all that work. It's not so.
You are correct, but not more correct. There is greed leading all large industries. Why build a dishwasher that doesn't break? They will sell you your food. They will sell you your meds. The will se.l you your lies. Try not buying into it, too much.
I can't entirely disagree, but we are communicating right now thru a system of computers and cables, fiber-optic and electric, plus electro-magnetic. I have my gripes about some of the issues, but it's all getting better all the time. It's those greedy capitalists that are doing it. Imagine what our internet and computers would be like, if it was all up to elected 'officials'.
Same for steel, plastics, lumber and food. We've seen how it works when the politicians run it. Just check out Cuba and Venezuela. China is only as successful as it is by having converted to the American model (and also by stealing from us).
i sense a slight degree of hysteria in such a headline. i do not dought that govmt agencies are not to be trusted but genetic biology needs to advance, as do all knowledge (note i did not say 'science")
The headline isn't alarmist enough. If genetic engineering advanced our understanding of biology there would be an argument but gmo crops are a mechanism to patent protect every seed to attach a fee & all of the changes either increase herbicide tolerance to 10x the strength of Roundup for driveways, produce pesticides in every cell of the plant or both HT+Bt known as stacked.
There has NEVER been any human health or safety testing thanks to evil genius, revolving door Monsanto FDA lawyer Michael Taylor who made the term "substantial equivalent" that lets FDA measure a few nutrients, fiber etc that are the same & ignore all the differences that qualify for biotech patents. Since 1994 this population wide feeding experiment has rested on Monsanto believes a few 90 day rat studies show it's safe.
You are lying. My family is in the business. They are scientists, not head-shrinkers or evil madmen. In Asia, GMOs are not hated as they have produced enough food to feed almost everyone. From my point of view, you would rather that they starve so European hatred and mistrust of capitalism triumphs.
Improved yield claims do not hold up the big increase is in toxic chemicals applied to field crops. Most countries that have allowed gmo have been forced via bilateral trade agreements there is no benefit to adoption and in places like Mexico w corn and India w cotton the damage to farmers catastrophic. Stop reading biotech PR vs science.

That sounds fascinating - thanks Emperor

As I said above, beat on what was Monsanto but don't lie by projecting it onto a whole industry.
Do the research it's the whole field not just Monsanto.. ignorance is kills.

Look at her profile. NYC is full of insane leftists that hate capitalism and all its works and buy the sickest lies. Vox is a giant cauldron of hate.
