How’s this for twisted logic: GMO sugar beet seeds, have an inserted gene to make the plant resistant to the company’s Roundup herbicide.
With an apparently complete disregard for conventionl logic, GMO proponents claim that this product benefits the environment through “lower emissions from herbicide manufacture”!
Conventioal logic: herbicide resistance engourages herbice use = bad.
GMO proponent logic: herbicide resistance lowers emissions form herbicide manufacture! = good.
Is this the epitome of Orwellian thought? Go figure?

Adam: I’m talking about the real-world experience, of the people who are growing this stuff commercially; not this idealised nonsense conducted on behalf vested interests.
More “potential” benefits – The second line gives it away with some typical GMO proponent’s weasel words – (benefits)”might be expected if”

Matt: Some evidence is here. All you have to do is read it! (It was cited in the article).

Anyone else noticed that proponents of GM crops spend most of their time discussing “potential” benefits of the technology? The actual benefits appear to be limited to the bottom line of the chemical companies, clearly at the expense of the small farmers, the environment (particularly insects, such as bees) and the consumers.

I believe your claim of GM crops having reduced herbicide use is entirely false! Do you have any evidence to back-up the claim?

Kim, this is my website and I am simply not prepared to have other people's lengthy essays reproduced in their entirety in my comments. It unnecessary and inappropriate. You are free to post any links that are relevant to the original blog post and contribute to the overall discussion. The sharing of knowledge and diverse opinions is a noble cause, and can be achieved just as effectively with a hyperlink.

hi adam,

the text you deleted actually gives permission for me to cross post. (see the bottom of the global research page)

so if that is the case, you should not have any objections to it being there. Yes they were not my words, but i do endorse them, and i think more people from different comunities should be reading them. especially someone such as yourself, as this is part of your field of enquiry.

i appreciate being able to add comments regarding your posts, but i would hope the main game is, should be, the sharing of knowledge.

for anyone interested here is some GMO links

Kim, I have no connections to Monsanto, but rather work in a public sector research institute.

ADam,
If you are an intelligent, non-monstanto modified independently alligned human then apologies. Just get online, get your media from non-corporate sources, challange your world view and watch the world according to monsanto.
