I have not read the leftist publications that you cite. Nor to I claim to be an expert on farming, biotechnology, or agriculture, but I have read enough about Monsanto & GMOs as well as the very powerful lobby associated with both to consider myself reasonably informed. This is a complex issue that is multi-faceted. Not only are there health & environmental concerns/questions tied to GM crops, but the Monsanto Protection Act as well as various lawsuits launched by Monsanto against small farms is too large to ignore.
You seem just fine without asking questions regarding these things and with attempting to discredit my conservatism. Do you think for yourself or just drink the Monsanto propagandist Kool-Aid?
Really? You sound like you're a regular participant and subscriber.
but I have read enough about Monsanto & GMOs...
And from your comments here, everything you've read is wrong. That's exactly why you shouldn't get your information from HuffPost or Food Democracy Now....or Time Magazine.
This is a complex issue that is multi-faceted.
Is it safe to say that you're concerned?
Not only are there health & environmental concerns/questions tied to GM crops
Again, you've decided to prove to us that you are woefully misinformed about GM crops, and technology in general. Must be those sources you use for information again.
but the Monsanto Protection Act
There is no Monsanto Protection Act. That phrase was coined by a bunch of anti-capitalist Luddites who don't know their butt from a hole in the ground. Why you defend these people is beyond me.
....as well as various lawsuits launched by Monsanto against small farms is too large to ignore.
So you don't support companies protecting their intellectual property? If so, you may be an anti-capitalist. It's easy, don't steal Monsanto's intellectual property and you won't get sued.

I'm guessing that you avoided science classes at all costs when you were in school. I mean, that chemistry is pretty tough stuff. Kind of like economics and markets. Too bad.
