BTW, ever read up on Dr. Bruce Ames, UC Berkeley? good read on toxins and
such.

I'm sure, there are lots of good reads, like John Yoo and the torture
briefs (also Cal Berkeley). It's nice to have an argument before cites
are given. What do you have to say. Where is the site for the government
database on pesticides? Where is the PAN site that says all pesticides
are safe?

Precautionary Principles, are you out of your mind, Dow, Monsanto,
Bayer, Nisus, and Novartis would break their political legs. Cargill,
and Archer Daniel Midlands profit handsomely from corn, and soybean
supports, which allows them to make cheap food like stuff, for
consumption.

http://www.ewg.org/node/26928 is a nice toxic read, as is

And did you ever consider that if we didn't do the same monocultures in
the same place most of the pesticides wouldn't be needed, under the most
conservative of judgments. GMO crops are no more productive than
standard crops, but some do allow more pesticide be used. And how about
the increase in diabetes since we started eating faux foods 30 years
ago? Prior to that they were called imitation foods.

So gunner, make your argument, and present your citations. If you've
been to school, you should know how it works.
