anti-GMO = anti-vax, anti-cell phone, anti-power line, 9/11-truth, etc. Major Nikon Mar 2016 #20

Sure. Way to make a point revbones Mar 2016 #52

So why do the anti-GMO hubs like March Against Monsanto support those things? HuckleB Mar 2016 #53

No, I buy into providing consumer information revbones Mar 2016 #54

Monsanto sells all types of seeds. Most farmers don't save seeds, and haven't done so for decades. HuckleB Mar 2016 #55

It's too bad that list isn't numbered Major Nikon Mar 2016 #57

That would be handy! HuckleB Mar 2016 #87

Percy Schmeiser myth Major Nikon Mar 2016 #63

Indeed. -eom- HuckleB Mar 2016 #64

Your biggest problem was never anything more than smoke and mirrors Major Nikon Mar 2016 #62

Yeah, I don't really care about your opinion. kentauros Mar 2016 #70

So you admit that reality does not matter to you. HuckleB Mar 2016 #72

Rest assured the feeling is mutual Major Nikon Mar 2016 #73

I don't entirely trust Wikipedia, especially with how it's run these days. kentauros Mar 2016 #78

Well I hear that quite a bit from people who prefer biased opinions Major Nikon Mar 2016 #79

As far as I'm concerned, it -is- a scientific research group. kentauros Mar 2016 #80

It's not. HuckleB Mar 2016 #82

What is up with the alt-reality crowd that makes them think thier opinions... Humanist_Activist Mar 2016 #83

"they conduct no research." kentauros Mar 2016 #88

Really? Are they published, or do they sponsor publications in scientific journals? Humanist_Activist Mar 2016 #89

I don't fear research in it. kentauros Mar 2016 #90

Again, an example of the bubble you exist in, in your post itself. Also, I didn't dismiss it out... Humanist_Activist Mar 2016 #91

"debunk one of their articles" kentauros Mar 2016 #92

Because I sourced it? Its not that hard, actual, hard facts about things... Humanist_Activist Mar 2016 #93

Well, after a little more searching of my own, kentauros Mar 2016 #95

Well, interesting, I'm willing to admit I'm wrong, they are providing decent scientific research... Humanist_Activist Mar 2016 #103

I agree with you about their website. kentauros Mar 2016 #106

I guess its the nature of my job, I work from home doing customer service... Humanist_Activist Mar 2016 #108

Reading and listening to language kentauros Mar 2016 #109

I care less about opinions and more about facts Major Nikon Mar 2016 #84

Really, you trust a biased source? That jumps to conclusions in their articles and is just wrong... Humanist_Activist Mar 2016 #86

So they get labeled. So what? marmar Mar 2016 #58

Yes Major Nikon Mar 2016 #67

Misinformation is not a good thing. HuckleB Mar 2016 #68

So labeling foods with what's actually in them is "misinformation"? marmar Mar 2016 #69

You're not asking for a label that tells what's in the food. HuckleB Mar 2016 #71

It's NOT labeling foods with what's actually in them Major Nikon Mar 2016 #76

Information is a good thing! You always side with the big corporations! womanofthehills Mar 2016 #99

You don't appear to know much about biology, so your job is meaningless to the discussion. HuckleB Mar 2016 #102
