Default Would you buy these transgenic plants?

Please help out a researcher studying useful applications of

transgenic
plants by answering three simple questions below.

snip
What does 'transgenic' mean?


It means the genes of another species were used to alter the genetics of

the
existing plant or animal. If you live in the USA, Transgenic goods are

in
your home, unlabeled, right now. Look it up.
The future is here.


Unlabeled because a fundamental DISHONESTY in this industry has lobbied
Congress and SUED organic farmers out of existence & done everything in
its considerable Monsantoesque authoritarianist POWER to keep the public
from HAVING A CHOICE.


Not much of a choice if its a meaningless word.
And on the other hand, eco-terrorists scaremongers come up with labels that
scare the public, and prevent a choice that way, since they brainwash the
public into believing that every genetic change is bad unless it occurred
randomly.


If it were such a great technology, the public would be given a choice.

Since they have PROVEN don't want us to have a choice, hence care NOTHING
about individual wishes, that suggests they may also not care about our
health.



Same about the the antis, who were (are?) even against rice with added
vitamins, simply because of their gut reaction and fear of any change at
all, even if proven non-harmful.

If the industry were honest, they wouldn't fear full disclosure on

labeling.

Since they have PROVEN they cannot stand proud in the light of day with
full disclosures & honesty, how does that make their claims of unutterable
safety more credible?

Until this industry stops being merely propogandistic & attempts honesty,
nothing they say about safety can be believed either. Until this industry
permits personal choice in product selection by full disclosure on labels,
it is rightly assumed all claims of concern for human well being & health
is mere pretense.


Until the ecology industry stops being merely propogandistic & attempts
honesty why beleive anything they say, either? UNtil then it is rightly
assumed all claims of concern for human well being & health is mere pretense
and is actually done in the aim of keeping their vast industry of
scaremongering going.


Note that companies like Monsanto who dominate this field also dominate in
the field of toxic chemical pollutants which they likewise promote as safe
& healthful & through deceit & propoganda encourage people to dump
willynilly throughout the environment.


Note that companies such as Greenpeace who dominate this field also make
pronouncemenmts in entirely unrelated areas such as the Iraq war. BTW, can
you show a source where MOnsanto or any other large organisation promotes
people dumping stuff? betcha cant.



Finally, because so many of the products are sterile OR re-propogation is
criminalized to protect the chemical & transgenic industry's profits,
farmers can no longer save their own seed for future crops, but are
imprisoned by the requirement of buying new seed for every crop. As this
industry muscles into third-world economies, they suck the lifeblood out
of already impoverished peoples.


Whereas eco-terrorists wish to prevent them having the choice of industrial
development, longer lives, and make them all small scale farmers tied to
medieval scale levels of wealth and health.
