Are you lying for fun or profit? Do you know what BT corn is? Have you heard of Bacillus Thuringiensis? People will be healthier doing the things you suggest. They will also be healther not eating genetically modified food capable of putting holes in the guts of the unlucky minority.

Ohhh, I was hoping you would bring up this topic.
I farmed and raised corn right before BT corn came out.
You know what I had to do to control corn rootworms?
I had to use an extremely toxic substance called Counter 15G.
It was so toxic I wore a disposable white coverall and rubber gloves and a mask .
BT is a NATURAL substance that organic farmers use. A WAY BETTER way to control corn root worms .
The GM in corn simply just adds this NATURAL AND SAFE method of insect control.
Saving farmers from being exposed to highly dangerous organophosphate .

Did you know that?
Pisses me off that people don’t give a crap about what farmers used to have to do to raise food , then bitch about a great advancement .
