Morrisons, Siansburys, Co-Op and M&S have joined Tesco in allowing GMO fed chickens on their shelves.! This is the tip of the ice burg.!
There is an International protest against GMO on 25th May, I urge you all to organise to join in, if you value choice about what you eat, because if GMO is allowed into our food chain, we will have let the genie out of the bottle, forever.!
Cross contamination and patented law suits will be the order of the day, if we allow Monsanto to get a foot hold on our food supply.
Not only is this vile virus a health hazard to humans, but it is destroying our environment too, re bees, etc.
Plus it is attempting to own Mother Nature via its patented seeds, thereby selling us dangerous produce with a corporate stamp.!
We must all wake up to this onslaught against nature and our right to chose. Please get out in force and demand an end to this profit lead evil against nature now.

'You do realise that your 'evidence' includes links to more than a dozen independent scientific rebuttals of that evidence don't you? '

Of course I realise that. Do you think all scientists agree?

Poster A : 'I like facts.'

Claig : 'In that case, can I point you to some Daily Mail articles.'

'No, you can never point me to the DM. They are about as reliable as a chocolate fireguard.'

If you had read the Daily Mail, they would have told you that Monsanto is not British.

'Try using a mirror.

And a real news source.'

Do you mean the one that informed you that Monsanto was British?

But the thread started less than an hour ago.

BTW thanks! I haven't had this much fun in ages. I'm beginning to be sorry I reported the thread.

And yes, you lost the argument before you even started it. Because I said so.

claig · 18/05/2013 18:44

'I haven't had this much fun in ages.'

So slagging off the OP and now me is what you class as fun? It takes all sorts, I guess.

Can I just point out that the Monsanto patent runs out next year?
So anyone able to generate the modified seed will be able to sell glyphosate resistant seeds?

All the mods do is allow excessive weed killer to be used without damaging the crop plants, and hence closer planting of the crops.

I'm going to have been massively cross posts, and anyway, it was pages ago, but Grin at dihydrogen monoxide. personally I'm off the crack open the ethanol.

claig · 18/05/2013 18:46

Through, read it before dismissing it out of hand. It is about the peer-reviewed study.

ClayDavis · 18/05/2013 18:48

Given that you've linked to the peer reviewed study, there's no need to link to a journalist's interpretation of it.

Throughgrittedteeth · 18/05/2013 18:48

The DM didn't do the research though so find a more respectable source. Most posters on here don't want to click on DM links because it justifies their shitty existence and lines their pockets.

Throughgrittedteeth · 18/05/2013 18:49

What clay said.

Tee2072 · 18/05/2013 18:49

Yup. It takes smart people, like me, who admit when they are wrong immediately after being wrong and it takes ignorant people like you who think the DM is a real news source.

All sorts to make the world go around.

BTW you just admitted you're a sock. Did you realise that?

claig · 18/05/2013 18:49

Clay, I linked to the DM article because it mentioned what Russia did as a result of the study and what cations they took based on the advice of their experts.
