There is a difference between gene inserted glyphosate and seed breeding, one contains an untested chemical, the other contains natural hybridization.

1. A gene is not a chemical. The RU Ready gene does NOT insert glyphosate chemicals into the plant, it makes the plant resistant to the glyphosate based herbicides.

2. Basic category errors indicate your knowledge base is somewhat limited.

3. Glyphosate is not an untested chemical.

4. You seem to have missed the paragraphs regarding wide cross hybridization and mutagenesis, both of which are unregulated and can and have produced all sorts of previously unknown genetic changes into food crops.

5. Nature moves genes between species without our permission or knowledge all the time. Humans generally only notice it when such change has negative effects on us.

5. Doing it with modern lab technology means the changes are no longer unknown prior to being introduced.

6. Nature or natural processes are not benevolent or benign. The only force with a higher kill rate is government.

Glyphosate gene in crop, sprayed with glyphosate Round up becomes immune to Roundup and spreads to other crops.
I will eat what I feel is not tainted.. you party on Val pal! Eat all of this stuff to your content and feed it to your family.

There has to be a reason that you wish to take the choice away from other Americans to know what they are eating.

This is one of the few times that I agree with the Europeans, Aussies and New Zealanders. Nature did NOT create glyphosate, Monsanto did.

So if you are truly an American who believes in free speech then you will not try to silence those who disagree with you. What’s the harm..two opinions going to hurt your industry?
I don’t know what your motivations are.
Mine are simply to eat food that God intended us to eat.

Live your life happily and with gusto, best wishes.
