So, she says we can't trust "biotech," but she wants us to trust the anti-GMO movement? HuckleB Mar 2015 #49

"seeds of death" has already been regurgitated in this thread Major Nikon Mar 2015 #63

She brings up good points, but I certainly wouldn't call it a 'trust' issue in re science itself. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Mar 2015 #53

GMOs don't impact bees. sorry. Buzz Clik Mar 2015 #26

Aren't GMO corn seeds regularly coated with neonicotinoids ? GreatGazoo Mar 2015 #29

Nice try. Buzz Clik Mar 2015 #40

So you think organic corn seeds are coated with Neonicotinoids? Good news: GreatGazoo Mar 2015 #62

And you're under the impression that all GMO seeds are coated? They are not. Buzz Clik Mar 2015 #66

I said GMO corn seeds -- not ALL GMO seeds. Facts aren't "silly." GreatGazoo Mar 2015 #74

No surrender coming. Buzz Clik Mar 2015 #75
