The whole scene is a con. HuckleB Jun 2016 #1

Thank god we can trust Monsanto to tell us the truth virtualobserver Jun 2016 #2

Who said anything about trusting Monsanto? HuckleB Jun 2016 #4

I did. We can always count on large corporations to have our back. virtualobserver Jun 2016 #6

So you can't discuss the issues. HuckleB Jun 2016 #7

Of course I can. You however, leapt from this article to "the whole scene is a con" virtualobserver Jun 2016 #9

Yes, because this is one example of a big problem. HuckleB Jun 2016 #11

Capitalism lies.....without government oversight or personal investigation we are at the mercy of it virtualobserver Jun 2016 #12

Yes. HuckleB Jun 2016 #18

"Big problem", lol. ronnie624 Jun 2016 #14

Ah, there are other problems, so consumers be damned. HuckleB Jun 2016 #17

It's not really all that important. ronnie624 Jun 2016 #20

In other words, you're not paying attention. HuckleB Jun 2016 #24

I think you try to make a mountain out of a mole hill. ronnie624 Jun 2016 #73

You can think whatever you want. HuckleB Jun 2016 #78

Why do you always attack people? Scientific Jun 2016 #15

Nice spin. HuckleB Jun 2016 #16

I Think The Point RobinA Jun 2016 #86

my response was a reaction to someone who seems to consistently defend large C's while attacking.... virtualobserver Jun 2016 #87

you have, repeatedly. every thread about gmos and roundup you jump in to defend them Viva_La_Revolution Jun 2016 #21

No, I haven't. HuckleB Jun 2016 #22

Free clue Scientific Jun 2016 #23

Interesting that you think logic and evidence are embarrassing. HuckleB Jun 2016 #25

Support for my facts Scientific Jun 2016 #41

The shill gambit offered up by someone who openly supports charlatan scam artists. HuckleB Jun 2016 #32

How you can tell when you're a conspiracy theorist.... Major Nikon Jun 2016 #46

The conspiracy is massive! People are so good at keeping secrets! HuckleB Jun 2016 #61

All you have is the conspiracy theorist shill accusation? Humanist_Activist Jun 2016 #44

The "Woo" proponents think that arguing against them must be supporting corporations. Thor_MN Jun 2016 #88

BTW, it's funny how you (and others) jumped in to support my latter point in that post. HuckleB Jun 2016 #28

what "latter point" was that? virtualobserver Jun 2016 #33

It's quite obvious. HuckleB Jun 2016 #35

you won't answer a simple question...instead you waste my time with this post. virtualobserver Jun 2016 #38

You wasted my time by not reading a short post. HuckleB Jun 2016 #39

nonsense.....it is a waste of my time to try and determine which post you are referring to virtualobserver Jun 2016 #40

Oh, goodness. Indeed. HuckleB Jun 2016 #42

actually, you didn't....which explains why communicating with you is such a waste of time virtualobserver Jun 2016 #45

It was clear. HuckleB Jun 2016 #47

Instead of simply answering my question, you post multiple responses saying nothing virtualobserver Jun 2016 #49

I'm here to discuss, not answer silly questions aimed at unending goofiness. HuckleB Jun 2016 #54

simply asking you what you were referring to in your obscure post was a "goofy question"? virtualobserver Jun 2016 #59

Monsanto doesn't pretend their products are safer or more nutritious than the alternative Major Nikon Jun 2016 #50

Why would they even care? virtualobserver Jun 2016 #52

Probably because they are developing things ultimately used for human nutritional needs Major Nikon Jun 2016 #53

there are plenty of corporations marketing products for human nutritional needs..... virtualobserver Jun 2016 #57

Why would anyone who sells anything be any different? Major Nikon Jun 2016 #58

some humans actually care.....with small scale capitalism, some people retain their humanity virtualobserver Jun 2016 #60

On what basis do you suspect this happens more often at the lower end? Major Nikon Jun 2016 #63

those at the higher end write the regulations, they cycle in and out of government to ensure.... virtualobserver Jun 2016 #66

And yet they are still subject to more regulation and oversight Major Nikon Jun 2016 #68

I have personal experience with trustworthy people...... virtualobserver Jun 2016 #74

I'd hope everyone has experience with trustworthy people Major Nikon Jun 2016 #76

Of course....but corporations behave poorly by design. virtualobserver Jun 2016 #77

Same ugly story in San Diego. HuckleB Jun 2016 #27

Their report on farmers markets is equally damning independentpiney Jun 2016 #29

Hydroponic blueberries! LOL GulfCoast66 Jun 2016 #36

Virtually every plant can be grown hydroponically Major Nikon Jun 2016 #48

Yep GulfCoast66 Jun 2016 #71

For some the safest food supply in the world and throughout history still isn't safe enough Major Nikon Jun 2016 #75

I agree with everything you wrote GulfCoast66 Jun 2016 #79

Of course, if people are willing to pay the $20.00 a pint it would take to cover costs independentpiney Jun 2016 #80

There's all sorts of commercial hydroponic operations which are quite cost effective Major Nikon Jun 2016 #81

Huh? HuckleB Jun 2016 #83

What are you saying? That everyone who sells food lies, so the farm-to-table restaurants muriel_volestrangler Jun 2016 #56

Does anyone know if my source is a lie? The veg farm for summer (dif. Source) I know is legit Person 2713 Jun 2016 #64
