        Also they had sex symbol Jane Fonda.

        What is with the anti-reason luddites and being so good at getting porn stars on their side? Jenny McCarthy is another as well as PETAs small cohort of nude exhibitionist girls.

        Maybe the next pandemic WHO should hire a few to do a “vaccines are sexy” promotion. Is that it? The only way to convince people to not die a preventable death is have someone with big tits give them the answer?

      Ok moron. GMOs were created by the same company that created Agent Orange. Go on and tell us why GMOs exist, I want to hear you say it.

          Notice how I included actual information along with my message and attacked the subject matter directly instead trying to dissolve the conversation into nothingness.

            Notice

            I noticed your comment got removed by the mods because you engaged in a personal attack.

            Shrug. I thought we attacked ideas here not people. You know, unlike the luddite crowd does.

              Haha your comment was removed

              Haha your comment was removed

              This means I don’t have to defend my made up implications now, haha!

              That’s your 4th comment that doesn’t address what I said.

              Curious.

      Some of us aren’t against GMOs for being genetically modified, we’re against patents on food.

        I’m also against patents on food but this is a bad argument. GMOs are artificial and can reasonably be patented under the same rules as any other technology.

        Patents in general must be abolished.

          If I could fucking ban pesticides and antibiotics for agricultural use I absolutely would.

              Well, yes, but also if I actually had the power to make that change I would do it gradually through a market system for exactly that reason. One can dream, though.

                One small change, Market systems are prone to market failures. They’re also rather inefficient, because there needs to be inefficiencies or else there’s no profit.

                No, the best path to reducing pesticides and the over reliance on fertilizer is regulatory, with people on the ground checking compliance. Our food supply is too important to be left to the inefficiencies and corruption of “market solutions”

                  You need to have a role for the market. Central planning is a demonstrably bad idea.

                  But a heavily regulated market is the sweet spot.
