Give it up. Neither you or Commoner has the slightest idea of what you are talking about. With 6 successful years of use in 50+ lines, Roundup Ready soybeans are the greatest story in agbiotech going. You eat them every day and this year they will likely constitute 70-80% of all US soybeans grown. Commoner's blather does not hold up to this type of pure simple fact. IT WORKS.

Well, I am not much of a soybean eater, I go for nice red meat. I leave soybeans to the vegetarians who to seem to have lots of medical problems, but that is just MHO. Your argument that "It works" would be a good response, except for the problem of unintended consequences. You may get soybeans, they may be tasty, but you do not know what side effects there may be to them. This is BTW the reason why medical drugs take so long to be approved - thorough testing is needed to be sure that the side effects are found. To see the side effect of your wonderful plants see Andrew's post#78.
