I have learned all kinds of things tonight so far and I anticipate more.


I learned, in no particular order:


1. Cup of Noodles is a handy snack food
2. Macaroni and Cheese is proper camp fare
3. GMO foods take 20 years to breed
4. GMO foods could have an indirect effect on groundwater
5. GMO have/haven't been linked to cancer
6. Roundup is absorbed through plant roots
7. Organic labeling means nothing
8. The US exports rice to Japan



I can't wait to hear more.

none of us knows what causes cancer... not doctors, not you, not me, noone...

to say that an idea is "stupid", because you dont agree with it, when noone on the planet knows the true answer, thats kinda niave...

plants soak up and store whatever is around or on them... if they are drenched in Round Up, it will absorb both foliar and through the roots, and go into the plant, and stay there for a while... some things, stay way longer than others depending on if its a tree, or a shrub, or a small Thyme plant...

but it still gets soaked in there, and its still there when you eat it... (even after "estimated per application time frames)

you guys will figure it out some day...

you mispelled Jake, i hooked you up...

i dont know what CYA is...

i dont need google power to tell you it could be a possibility, until you can come up with proof that they dont whatsoever, in any way shape or form, then we are still gonna be arguing about it...

was Agent Orange OK Hank?

another Monsanto product... same people who make the RU resistant seeds...

now im not anti GMO FVCK MONSANTO!! type dude, but its evident, they dont give a fvck about you... they want money... and the government backs them...

they did what to the Vietnamese? and you trust that sh!t?

seriously?

dissipate means to leave Chuck...

dont 13k post tell me to shut up please...

the same company that created that sh!t created Round Up, Hank...

you gonna trust that company?

i wont....

no it doesnt work like that...

plants arent mammals... they dont have digestive systems that expel waste from their bodys...

the only way to rid them, is to flush the soil dead clean of ANYTHING in it, because a plants "heart", is in its ROOTS...

9.

ill tell you right now thats not a fvcking word...


try again?

This all makes me wonder what you would get if you cross the Nate and Hankster?

All this talk from Hamster about a state initiative.................

lol

Nobody here gives a fu.ck about you fags in California.

lol

Yet here you are on the I=522 thread...................




Dumbass.

What's a PP political thread without a little name calling ?

Nicely done.


<ducking for cover>

Apparently the Girl Scouts can't agree either.

a poll on King5.com of voters show that 52% of respondents voted yes, to 42% no.

I voted no. I usually do for initiatives unless they make really good sense. Take a walk through Wal-Mart, how many people are going to check labels beyond the price? All this adds is another layer of BS for the manufacturer's of this food.

If I don't give a sh!t what I eat, why should anyone else? I take that back, my wife told me we were eating salads all this week to make up for the Halloween candy binge (this makes me sad). She is allowed to but that is it.

Newsflash: You are going to die, maybe tomorrow, maybe in 60 years. It may or may not be from what you ate or inhaled. It might be your kids pulling the plug on you for being a d!ck and making them buy seaweed chips at Whole Foods instead of a bag of Doritos at 7-11.

I voted for it last week already.

I'll probably vote for it again tomorrow. Vote early; vote often, ya' know.

The main persuasion for supporting this initiative is due to the $22 million spent against it by Monsanto, Bayer, Dow, and Dupont. More than has ever been spent on a WA state initiative. And since the money comes from global corporate interests that make their money by working against my interests, it only makes sense to vote for the initiative.

Even so, I ate my first burger ever from an In-and-Out restaurant in San Jose yesterday cuz people say they are the best. Something about fresh beef patties, fresh veggies, etc. Probably everything they serve is GMO, just speculating. However I don't think it's any better than a local Big Tom deluxe from Eagan's. And the Big Tom is, well, bigger.

Hank, you mentioned that the benefits of GMO outweigh any known liabilities. You're an old fart and should remember they said the same thing about DDT and most of the then-new post-WWII organic compounds. Would you still use DDT on your corn and tomatoes today?
