What happened to the use of older more toxic herbicide formulations after the use of Roundup Ready traits became popular. Do you advocate for their return?pic.twitter.com/ruEmm4Sdmg

We've been genetically modifying plants for thousands of years via artificial selection. Now we're doing it in a much more precise way. Modern corn, oranges, apples, etc are NOTHING like their pre-civilization ancestors. Glyphosate is dangerous, but only to those who apply it.

Genes are just different sequences of ATGC. Every DNA based life form on the planet uses different combinations of those 4 bases. There's no such thing as "foreign". It's just which organism has developed a useful gene, and which hasn't.

I could teach you grammar, because "First of all child." is a sentence fragment. I'm sorry that you have such a poor education in genetics and biochemistry. Perhaps if you'd attend some classes then you could understand that genetic modification isn't so scary.

This is an epic essay. My dad worked for 2 decades at Monsanto in Ag (PHD Yale). The amount of misinformation and misunderstanding of science is sad. What GMO offers is a path to the future (with dwindling natural resources and lower yields). Nice work.

Whether you have a real degree or not; I’ll take 30+ years of honest and objective research for a better world (from a Yale PHD) any day vs. a subjective unsubstantiated fear.

Unsubstantiated? The sharp increase in human intestinal problems I'm sure us just the natural evolution huh?

It’s the business/legal practices of Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer, etc. that are the problem. That doesn’t change.

The world needs GMOs like Roundup Ready soybeans and now Dicamba resistant soybeans? Dicamba damaged 3.6 million acres last year and will likely damage more this year. The world desperately doesn't need this. The GMO/pesticide treadmill that lines Monsanto/Bayer's pockets.

Bring anti-GMO is some Malthusian and anti-human nonsense, (So is being anti-nuclear-power but that’s a different story.)

Both in the anti-technology cult: there's some pure state of man in harmony with nature which science and technology have interefered with. Purest bullshit of quasi-religious simpletons.
