No,babe, it is based on solid science, and massive evidence.

Several of Monsanto’s GM products are killing bees too.

Wise bee keepers have begun to withold their hives from areas where GM crops are being grown.

The Bt toxin is also raising hell with humans.

Agreed. Just because a toxin is naturally occurring does not make it benign. Just because a product is GMO does not make it a threat. To throw them all under the same label accomplishes nothing.

You know that organic farmers are allowed to spray Bt directly on crops, don't you? Bt is a natural insecticide found in most soil...do you think that the organic farmers should not be allowed to use Bt. You simply do not understand the science.
