Amy On The Radio

[albrecht]

Yeah, its misuse is extremely common in third world and home use situations. It's these users, rather than consumers of crops who are most at risk imo.

Like about every chemical or whatever. DYI is great but not many read the labels or much less the actual documents or get training. Even on innocuous items, like me always thinking, though I know it isn't true, that "more is better" with glue etc for a bond. Or the homeless guy who still thinks the silver or gold paint is better than some clear coat or other solvent (hey, cops will notice your patina around your face much easier with the metallic varieties.)

[TigerLily]

Don't mess with Texas

White mice get cancer from everything. It was a joke.

Problem with white mice is that they are so inbred, that I really doubt if their genetics are healthy to start with.

Of course.  I should have know better.  What, was I thinking

[GravitySucks]

Don't mess with Texas   

Did he really just say that we are all just a bunch of racists?

[TigerLily]

Did he really just say that we are all just a bunch of racists?

Yep

[PrairieGhost]

Should I switch back to that one?

It's up to you, they both should work but this is the one I'm promoting on the site.

[TigerLily]

Ergo. We're stupid/intellectually lazy

[albrecht]

When/if Bayer* buys Monsanto, which is trying to happen, then will they be evil, guest?

*in 1925 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IG_Farben
Oh well, no big deal, guest just said ok for companies to make chemical weapons for war as long as the government wants it.

[Lilith]

Did he really just say that we are all just a bunch of racists?

Not only that, but I get the impression that he himself is racist against anti-gmo forum posters. 

[GravitySucks]

Yep

I.will.not.call.in.and.bitch.him.out.

[PrairieGhost]

There should be labeling. There is no downside IMO.

[aldousburbank]

I wouldn't care if this guy was arguing for the goodness of puppies I'd still think he's an asshole. And he sounds like he spits when he talks.

+1000

[albrecht]

Yep

My feed dropped out. What was the reason he said all Texans are racist? And what does race have to do with GMOs or the chemical industry (ignoring Basson, IG Farben, etc.) And, aside from maybe Austin, Texas is not "anti" big Ag or Chemical/Oil companies (for good or ill!!!) 

[Lilith]

I know, Right?

[Lilith]

Exactly.

[Imconfused]

Why is this podcast not on Itunes?

[Dr. MD MD]

I'm glad there's a smart guy like him out there who can tell me what it's OK to think about and what's not.  :

[GravitySucks]

It shouldn't take an Internet search to see what is in your food. I agree that labeling should be mandatory and verifiable.

[Lilith]

I'm sorry (Amy), but I feel that I have the right to be GMO free if I want to, no matter what anybody else thinks about my choice.

[starrmtn001]

I.will.not.call.in.and.bitch.him.out.

Oh, yes, please do it, Gravity.  He needs a good bitch slappin'!!!

[Richard Groyper]

Oh, yes, please do it, Gravity.  He needs a good bitch slappin'!!!

I love it when you talk dirty to other men. *growls*

[Dr. MD MD]

It shouldn't take an Internet search to see what is in your food. I agree that labeling should be mandatory and verifiable.

but, Gravity, you're too stupid to realize that that information is irrelevant to the decisions of your daily life. Now move along! 

[aldousburbank]

I hope he provides a list of the 100 chemicals in strawberries.

[Lilith]

I don't have a right to know whatever I want to know?  I don't have a right to know whats in my food?  Well, THIS is embarassing.

[albrecht]

It shouldn't take an Internet search to see what is in your food. I agree that labeling should be mandatory and verifiable.

The problem is would it be trust-worthy? And with our friendly immigrants we might run out of room considering we need things is so many languages. And whack-a-mole and use pure chemical names, change them, hide behind trade secrets, etc.

"you don't have a right to know everything" he just said.

[PrairieGhost]

Well, this was a great show even if you don't agree with the guest! Thanks for listening everyone!

[Dr. MD MD]

Get off the air, you babbling rhetoretician!  : 

[Imconfused]

I hope he provides a list of the 100 chemicals in strawberries.

You've been very negative lately.  What's up?
