More fuel on the non-gm fire

Rotenone-pyrethrin or Spinosad disrupt
the nervous system and are effective
agents to control insects. Very
effective for killing entire colonies of
ants. Control of fire blight.

But oh, its approved for organic farming
and is sprayed at 5 to 10 times the dose
of 'synthetic' pesticides sprayed on for
example, lettuce. USDA study showed
there is 10 times the residue of toxin
on 'organic' lettuce over conventional
synthetically sprayed lettuce.

All about the marketing and fooling the
consumer. Apparently only 4% are naive
enough, and easily parted from their
cash, to be fooled.

Organic Pesticides is not an oxymoron
after all.

Isn't BT used on organics, but the same gene in corn, cotton, etc is bad?

[wd9]

Bacillus thuringiensis certainly is and
has been used for over 50 years. How it
works? No one really knows.

But effective marketing and slight of
hand make putting bt in the corn rather
than spraying the crap out of it with a
soluble form a very dangerous thing.

Why don't you stand up for yourself and use all of these facts of yours to market your own crops wd?

Why is it that in your mind, all those who offer a choice to consumers are greedy story tellers? Tell your story wd. Get out there and advertise your facts. Get oneoff on the bandwagon with you and hit the road. Attack us bastij marketers where we stand,--- in front of consumers that you say we are deceiving.

Lots of opportunity outside of the agriville forum where I don't think you are making much headway with any newcomers. Those who are already caught in the chem vortex will only change when they retire, and you will have to work like hell to keep convincing your children as the world wakes up to the lie that got you where you are today.
