Pretty much sums up the Democrat argument across the board. They also feel we need to import brown people because white people are too good to babysit or put roofs on houses. Who's going to clean your toilet if we don't import brown people to do it for a fraction of what we should ethically be paying people?

How could Monsanto prevent it? You can buy its products off the shelf.

You may grow your own plants without pesticides but commercial organic growers do indeed use them. Whatever you plant has indeed been genetically altered by selective breeding.

As I said above follow the breadcrumbs. You want naively believe that spray poison on crops is good, then more power to you.

Just the fact that you just dismiss anything somebody tells you doesn’t make you right.

Ignorance is bliss. And companies like Monsanto are counting on it.

How about all the scientists who don't work for Monsanto? Are they all complicit in some grand scheme too?

Whose paying said scientist? I don’t see a scientist doing testing on whatever without getting paid.

I hope they are not breadcrumbs baked with GMO wheat!

The folks scared by Monsanto and GMO's act just like Alex Jones and his Infowar's minions. And actually Alex Jones like you believes GMO's are dangerous. Not surprising.

I believe scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson and the 6,000 peer reviewed studies. And the close to 90% of scientists who say GMO's are safe.

Best not to form you views from youtube videos and biased online outlets. Or Alex Jones.

Yes they are. They are the same scientists that are pushing the fake round earth theory. We all know the job of science is to mislead the public. For what other reason could the possibly exist?

I provided sources to support what I posted.

Genetic modifications reduce the amount of "poison" needed, but refuse to believe it if you wish.

Organic growers use "poisons", too.

Said scientist is paid by his employer, and many of those employers are not Monsanto and get no money from Monsanto.

If you pay taxes you paid for some of it:

Like this one:

Peer-reviewed sources also didn't catch the fact that Roundup caused so many cases of cancer. "A 2000 review concluded that "under present and expected conditions of new use, there is no potential for Roundup herbicide to pose a health risk to humans." LOL! (Williams GM, Kroes R, Munro IC (April 2000).

Peer-review is in the pocket of the establishment. Eat your GMOs, Suzy-q.

In other words, all you have is a worldwide conspiracy.
