Soorer or later GM feeds

[Happytrails]

You make my point GF. GM plants are here and we have to deal with them as with all other living things. Now I've got to go work some cows genetically modified the old fashioned way. HT

By the way, if herbicide resistance qualifies as a super weed then I'm afraid we have lots.

I think we have gone of on the tangent that the Monsanto's of the world want us down.

The real purpose of GM genetics is so that the market place can be manipulated and controled because the gene pool is now "patented".

Or in other words someone else ones the property your using.

Now that "trace amounts" are already showing up. May aswell open the flood gates cause it now can't be controled.

happytrails you're close to getting it. you said if herbicide resistance constitutes super weeds we're there. so we should just keep on going down the same road? you're only one step away from thinking maybe there should be another approach. monsanto wins again. when it's finally generally realized that these genetics can be a big problem they'll offer another solution they just happen to hold the patent on and most producers will be so grateful that monsanto is there to save them! why do all the crop protection products try to defeat natural selection and succession? isn't the food production model doomed by its own unsustainability?

You said it right.

Let me recomend a book called "The Road to Serfdom" by by F.A. Hayek. I think first published in 1940 make alot of politicians and bureaucrats very mad. He saw it comming back then and our producer groups still don't see it.

Cut a past the book title into your search box.
