In reply to the discussion: The USDA's new labeling for genetically modified foods goes into effect Jan. 1. [View all]Tumbulu
(6,300 posts)and many posters on this thread continue to make claims that all plant breeding is genetic engineering, and other incorrect statements.
I consider anyone throwing falsehoods around as facts to be in the camp of Trump. And anti vaxxers. Because it is telling a lie, loudly, rudely and repeatedly over decades that seems to be the tactic.
Am I correct in thinking that you mean to say that the call for labeling all these decades was/is some scheme of the organic farmers to get more business? From where I sit, this idea does not sync with any reality.
In fact we struggle to exist with all the unwanted contamination from GMO crops, because we are not protected from the effects of the genetic pollution. It is always on us to keep our distance and clean out any handling equipment.
I am sorry that you know so little about my industry. Or about plant breeding. I dont think I can spend much more time trying to educate. I will try to answer any questions when I get more time.
