Wait. What? Yeah, that's the point.
Of course, GMOs do limit pesticide use.
Homeopathy, on the other hand, only spreads disease.
Thus, the purveyors of homeopathy who also bash GMOs have a lot of explaining to do.

You are only going to harm others for no good reason, but who cares about that?
There is no connection to your health issues and GMOs. If pesticides did something, you might want to remember that pesticides are used in all forms of farming, including organic. Of course, unless you were working on an unregulated farm, they aren't the cause either. Promoting woo is not ok. As noted, it only serves to hurt others.
Right?

Come on. I know you know that's been debunked. Benbrook is a shill for Big Organic.
Sheesh.
BTW, why are the loudest anti-GMO posters also the loudest supporters of homeopathy?

(28,791 posts)Show me a link that debunks mine please, and also try to explain how there is not really high levels of glyphosate and bt in gmos.

You've certainly seen the Benbrook nonsense debunked before, so it really is disingenuous to post it and ask that it be debunked again. That's not ok.

And, finally, the reality is that Benbrook is looked upon much better than Seralini.

Quite the bemusing allegation. We all like to pretend we're simply a prophet of the truth when it suits our biases. We'll also rationalize it as being 'just the messenger...'
HuckleB
(35,773 posts)And.. Thanks for the kick.
BTW ... Are you going to pretend that posters who adamantly defended homeopathy on recent posts are not some of the most vociferous anti-GMO posters at DU, as well?
Yeah, whoops.

And your friend Jeffrey Smith appears to have been interviewed by multiple homeopathy organizations.
Hmm.
And, on edit, it appears that you are fine supporting woo, including "providers" that sell homeopathy, too.
Well, there it is.
