It makes you look very foolish and/or dishonest (and unfortunately all of us who have concerns about GM agriculture are tarred by association). Can you show me references to safety tests (for example, long term animal feeding tests) which have been carried out on GM soya or GM maize? Ah, now these sorts of long-term safety tests are exactly the sort of thing that many of us are concerned about with respect to GM. There may well be problems that only show up after long-term exposure despite the testing of GM crops performed to date. Please choose your words more carefully. There are indeed specific concerns about GM crops that need to be addressed through specific kinds of tests. But in post after post, you simply have been making bald statements that GM crops have "never been through any safety testing", which is obviously false and makes you look silly. ___________________________________________ Unit #02582: Endangered Old-Growth Redwood Toothpick Artisans, LLC [TINEOGRTALLC] -- Frivolity is a stern taskmaster. |
