Sick. How about protecting the existing crop diversity by outlawing GM crops? (n/t) |

Not that simple - it's also about saving thousands and thousands of landraces and varieties |

'saving' them is fine. Focusing on 'archiving' them instead of reversing the destruction isn't. |

It's known as "division of labor". One groups takes care of archiving. Others are fighting GM foods. |

If we favor this kind of apocalyptic mindset over restraining GM crops, we're screwed. |

You're saying the roundup ready weeds got into the cold storage facility? |

You have no argument, period. Preserving seed stock is a good thing no matter what. |

I do have an argument - it's that the mindset behind storing seeds is false hope. |

No, as I've said I object to doomsday thinking v. responsible stewardship, not to seed storage. (nt) |

So, you don't object to seed storage, right? And seed storage is what's being done. |

No, I've made my point. Focusing on seed storage as a means of protecting diversity is flawed. |
