Following up to Paul Rooney
Hang about - GM is good, isn't it?
that's very much a matter of opinion isn't it Paul?
Efficient crops, disease-resistant veg, etc.
Swallowed the hype then?
In what way are the crops more efficient?
Any evidence that it's
bad?
Well, The rats eating too many potatoes stuff was rubbish.
BUT the real and less exciting aspect is that it allows crops to be
sprayed
with even more herbicides.
There's evidence that thats bad.
You are lying in your teeth. Prove me wrong by pointing to any
scientific
paper which proves that glyphosate has deleterious effects on humans if
used
correctly.
You seem to be assuming that I am talking about the effect on human
health.
I am not.
Then point me to a scientific paper which proves that glyphosate has any
deleterious effect on the ecological balance of where it is used, excepting,
of course, for the eradication of plants not wanted by humans.
Still, if you insist fritz. Have a go at this lot, that should keep
you busy for ever.
