Yurtgirl, please give me some examples of Monsanto buying another company for nefarious means,
I can't find any. If they wanted to support this research then the most thorough way of doing
it would be to buy the company. It looks better on the balance sheet to be allocating funds
to a subsidiary instead of giving it away.
"My statement about splicing fish genes into watermelon seeds was a theoretical example of a very real practice"
What about you saying they use radiation to do this, was that "theoretical" as well?
"Genetic Modification has far more sinister reasons" - here comes the hysteria again.
"And when focusing on the security of our planet's food supply, I would rather err on the side
of 'hysteria' than apathy. Any day"
Isn't it ironic that the people who claim to be concerned about the security of our food supply
are in fact the ones fighting to decrease food security? The whole point of GM is to produce
more food at less cost and to safeguard us against crop diseases. The potato famine wouldn't be
possible now. Are you against GM saving the papaya industry in Hawaii? Better safe than sorry!
