Why farmers sued the county about ANTI GMO bill
#60
"Industrial AG produces food deficient in omega 3 fatty acid and many other micronutrients."
First, you seem to be entirely at a loss as to what omega 3 fatty acids and micronutrients actually are. So, lets start there. Omega 3 fatty acids are lipids. These are fats from vegetative and marine sources important to our metabolism but not easily synthesized by our body. Micronutrients are trace minerals required for physiological functions - things like iron, cobalt, copper, etc.

"GMO crops are mostly dwarfed crops,short stalks short roots means they never pass through the already depleted top soil to the nutrient rich subsoil"
Okay, so while we have the ability to dwarf crops most GMO crops are not dwarfed, this is done selectively and only if such dwarfing would prove economically viable which isn't always the case. You have the soil completely backwards the topsoil is the most nutrient rich and fertile soil while the subsoil is compacted and relatively sterile in comparison.

"this results in anemia(iron deficiency)goiter(iodine deficiency) and blindness(vitamin A defeciency)."
Is there a study somewhere - not trying to snub you just never heard of any studies claiming negative health possibilities listed above attributed to GMOs.

"Now golden rice has been enginiered to contain the vitamin A already present in land race grains...Many great things may come from GMO science. Most gmo crops are not these great things."
I thought this part was funny because you seem to not realize this golden rice is one of these great things and contradicts your previous claims about blindness / vitamin A deficiency.
