Default A Danger to the World's Food: Genetic Engineering and the EconomicInterests of the Life Science

The message
from "Jim Webster" contains these words:


"Bob Hobden" wrote in message
...

Not what I've heard. Herbicide resistant crops so they can be sprayed with
more herbicides.


simple thought will tell you that that must be wrong


herbicides cost money


GM seed is slightly more expensive


why would you pay more money for seed on which you have to use more
herbicide, again spending more money?


So that the huge interests who control the market for your product,
get higher profits from selling expensive seed and more herbicide.
