Red-Wine Braised Oxtails

yes .. i remember that also
Oxtails and leg shanks are the toughest cuts of meat but cost more than tenderloin, if marketed and cooked correctly.
A buck for a bottle of generic canola oil in a plastic bottle? Or $15 for a pint of rape-seed oil in a fancy bottle?
The sad part is that the American public has been dumbed down so far.

If this idiot child is "surprised" by this, then she needs to go into another line of work. Apparently she believes certain genetic makeup will somehow magically confine itself to the boundaries of farmers' fields.

Yeah, something like that. Really bad, unforseen consequences. Or forseen, and Monsanto is really sinister. Or both. But nothing good at all from any of this.
Where are the environmentalists on this? This is a real, potentially very serious, and completely novel problem.
This is not the fictional global warming issue.
Yep, those are definitiely two sexually compatible weeds....
Perhaps she’s wrong to be surprised. But didn’t Monsanto say that those very claims were “science fiction”.
So, what, it’s either obvious or fantasy?
I think it’s somewhere in the middle, a potentially severe threat to our environment.
Because oil yield is GMed into the genes as well as immunity to broadleaf herbicides and natural predators.
I'm cool with mutant ragweed oil for cooking. Have to work on the name, of course, but Canada did it with Canola.

Newsflash: GM isn’t new or dangerous. Man has been doing it for thousands of years.
Perhaps you’ve heard of Agriculture? Farming?
Which environment? The one that existed 1000 years ago? The one that exists today? Or the one that we are creating?

They can reproduce the farmer just can’t keep the seed because the technology belongs to Monsanto.
If you buy their seed and don’t plant it you can’t give it to another farmer. There are all kinds of rules and if you break any of them and Monsanto finds out, you get sued.
Isn’t what’s happening here that the canola and the weeds are pollinating each other? The weeds are good at growing whereever. The canola is good at being roundup ready, being a plant that won’t die when sprayed by roundup. When the canola genes get into the weeds, you end up with a weed that will grow anywhere weeds grow, plus that weed won’t die when sprayed with Roundup. Also, apparently, these super-weeds are resistent to multiple pesticides.
Listen, just leave plants the way they are.
There you go, being rational again.
We still have people complaining about domesticating wolves and modifying them. Right here on this board. There are downsides and upsides. But if they really become a problem, they will be like the dodo. Humans are good at that. Really, really good. Industrial good.
