RE: Roundup (cancer causing substance) cases underway - Guest - 08-16-2018 quote:I am surprised you have to ask. By forcing the labeling, and then demonizing GMO, they, by extension, demonize the product and the company. The GMO label would be turned into a target. Remember, those who want the labeling don't give a damn about health implications, they are just interested in throwing as many wrenches into Western Civilization's internal workings as possible because they see it as an evil beast. Agriculture is foundational to that civilization. RE: Roundup (cancer causing substance) cases underway - Guest - 08-16-2018 quote:IMHO, the air we collectively breath is plenty clean (volcanic gases excepted)! I don't see the logic of living on an active volcano spewing all sorts of gases, and then worrying about an electrical generating plant and its scrubbed emissions! How many years would be taken off of the average American's lifespan if we got rid of electricity in deference to some people's desire to breath perfectly-clean air. A decade or more, perhaps 30 years. Electricity is far more important to our society than an unreasonable desire to breath perfectly clean air. RE: Roundup (cancer causing substance) cases underway - My 2 cents - 08-16-2018 "I am surprised you have to ask. By forcing the labeling, and then demonizing GMO, they, by extension, demonize the product and the company." This doesn't even come close to answering my question. I said VOLUNTARILY, AND PURPOSEFULLY, AS AN ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONAL MOVE. No forcing necessary. Take away the suspicions that they are trying to hide something. Take away the argument that they had to be forced. Thanks for trying, but you did not answer my question. And that is why I have to continue to ask. RE: Roundup (cancer causing substance) cases underway - Jeremy Lutes - 08-16-2018 Open-d: Oh man, I just can't even. Care to back up your assertion that "GMO and other modern agricultural chemicals and practices ARE making the world better, MUCH better." ? Otherwise it's just you spouting Or how about "Electricity if far more important to our society than an unreasonable desire to breath perfectly clean air". Where is anyone campaigning for perfectly clean air ? How about we just try and minimize using the atmosphere as a convenient sewer ? BTW, thanks for making my point r.e. chest beating and grunting noises. Rather than ask for clarification on what I said, you doubled down on your incorrect assumption, further misconstrued my subsequent reply, and then went off in some new bonkers direction about making the world MUCH better. Back to the topic, do you have any new information to contribute ? edited for clarity of target RE: Roundup (cancer causing substance) cases underway - Rob Tucker - 08-16-2018 This is why I sometimes feel like a hall monitor at a middle school. RE: Roundup (cancer causing substance) cases underway - PaulW - 08-16-2018 If it's voluntary then they don't have to and they choose not to. So what's the problem? The problem of course is that the anti-GMO mob want to force their misguided opinions on others. RE: Roundup (cancer causing substance) cases underway - kalakoa - 08-16-2018 How about we just try and minimize using the atmosphere as a convenient sewer ? How about "no more free externalities" and let the market decide? RE: Roundup (cancer causing substance) cases underway - My 2 cents - 08-16-2018 quote: Another nice try, but still not answering my question. They choose not to. Why? RE: Roundup (cancer causing substance) cases underway - PaulW - 08-16-2018 Producers of organic produce could choose to put on their label "Warning: severely overpriced produce for no health benefits" but they choose not to and that's fine by everyone. We get problems when people want to force their opinions on others. What doesn't Evian put "Contains dihydrogen monoxide" on their label? Because they choose not to. You have a problem with that?

The sash looks good on you, but don't forget you also have a whistle to send everyone back to classes about Hawaii I want to run through the halls of my high school I want to scream at the top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing as the real world Just a lie you've got to rise above |
