Well shit Denny, I thought you were done? You just can't stand that you got smashed in this debate. The fact remains is GM labeling doesn't hurt the economic structure of Agriculture. In fact, it promotes free enterprise. It allows the consumer to make their own damn choice, diversifying the economic structure. Farmer A can grow GM crops and supposedly grow more, but must sell for less. Farmer B can choose not to use GM crops and get more value for their yield, but supposedly have reduced yields. And Farmer C can go all in with Organic Farming and have the highest return on yield and have the least amount of yield. What this does is allow the consumer to have a choice. To decide for themselves what they choose to eat. If consumer A (you) sees nothing wrong with GM crops, then you get the Walmart discount for your produce. If consumer B (general mid grade consumer) doesn't see anything wrong with commercial farming, but worry about the GM crops can pay a little more for piece of mind. Consumer C (Tree huggers and health fanatics) wants to be natural and consume only the best possible produce can pay the extra money and eat truly naturally.
Good luck with what? The fact that my company is successful? That we supply to commercial, organic and GM farmers? That supplies to Sunkist, Bonita Banana, and various other large farming countries are because I am using "scare tactics"? Yeah I guess my luck is pretty damn good, thank you very much.
No thanks, the fact I smashed you in the ground is reward enough. I thought you were done Denny? You got an itch or something?
I'm sure this is beyond your comprehension, but maybe you'll read it anyway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-capitalism You quote from anticapitalist sites as if they have no agenda. Monsanto is evil, say the anti capitalists. You are being scammed. The scholarly articles that both study and review scholarly studies, and by the thousands, debunk your hogwash. But you win!
