Not trying to pick a fight just make an observation. You are not even the worst offender.
This was about GMOs, yet this post automatically equates GMOs with flagrant overuse of "whatever they are spraying". Granted we are talking about Monsanto but still there logical and ethical principles that deserve lip service even if Monsanto benefits incidentally. I think much of the anti-GMO frenzy is unwarranted and this sort of what I consider to be a slip just makes it harder to sort the grain from the chaff. It is not my intent to minimize the seriousness of the GMO issue, just to point out something that I think is unproductive.
