hikatz, thanks for that NYT link, good to see something from a real newspaper.
I found it to be fairly typical of the campaign. There are no facts, just a
vague feeling of unease about a new technology with a tendency to believe
in shadowy conspiracies.
Yurtgirl, so soon? Welcome back!! Someone said death rates are increasing, I replied that they are not.
Your contribution: "Diabetes is on the decline??" Wow, thanks for that. In any case, whether the death
rate is rising or declining or if the incidence is rising or declining, there is still no link to GM.
That was the whole point.
"Sounds like someone figured out that radiation is, lo and behold, used quite often in genetic modification"
You said radiation was used to insert foreign genetic material into another cell, displaying that you
really have no idea what you are talking about.
Okay, you mentioned the bee company which you claimed that Monsanto was buying in order to
cover something up - then it was pointed out that the bee company was actually working on
a theory which would exonerate Monsanto. Oops. Now you claim that there are many other companies
for which this is the case. That's great, but would you mind naming some? I can't find them.
Still waiting for that long list of victims of GM papayas, Yurtgirl. Anyone?
