Default "fearmongering" from the "liberal media"

Ahh, so a bunch of late night drunks talking trash again?

Has it ever occurred to you to verify or fact check your sources of
information?

In addition to Glycines. Palmer Amaranth is also resistant to:
selected ALS-inhibiting herbicides.
acetolactate synthase inhibitor
imazethapyr and thifensulfuron.
dinitroaniline herbicides

Also according to weedscience.org there are ~ 365 unique herbicide
resistant biotypes. Palmer A. doesn’t even make the 10 worst weeds.
So to say Monsanto is responsible for creating a “Superweed” is pure
BS, somewhere along the lines of the Salem Witch trials and WMDs in
Iraq. Ya don’t even have to believe weedscience, try running a
search for Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) for yourself instead
of listening to some writer who got lucky enough to have their story
told and retold enough times to make a mainstream news mag and then
referenced for a late night fringe group.

Might try saying its an important organic food foodstuff again and see
if the organic movement will buy it!


(usual political propaganda snipped)
