Try reading something besides green propaganda. But Gordon, everything else is Monsanto propaganda produced by scientists worldwide who are in Monsanto's clutches The USDA experiment stations are not in Monsanto's clutches nor are the US farmers. We buy what works. In face most seed breeders at universities are very bitter about the loss of public funding for crop breeding and if there is a bias it would be ageist private breeders. Monsanto's main problem is they didn't have a public relation effort on the benefits of GM crops for anything but the bottom line of the farmer. They should have capitalized on the reduction of erosion, insecticide use and use of less toxic herbicides and their positive effect on the environment. I agree, but must say that I've heard of lots of advantages of GM, often from the greenies saying that it is false The whole scientific world was caught off guard by the lies that the green lobby used to line their pockets at the expense of the environment they claim to be protecting. I understand that the US public were reasonably accepting of the technology until, the European "Frankenfoods" scare campaign came to town. |
