@1bigmachine So, you are getting paid to make comments on youtube? Glyphosate resistant weeds occur because of selection pressure, that is not the same as RoundupReady crops which use bacterial and virus promoters, antibiotic resistant marker genes, agrobacterium, etc. I'm sure you understand the danger involved with using E.coli, introducing antibiotic resistant genes in crops, and agrobacterium transforms human cells the same way it does plant cells. RR crops are much more dangerous!

@myndy86 I like how much effort you put in to this too bad your not getting paid for this by the way their coming out with 2-WD and Dicamba tolerant soybeans and im going to be planting them as soon as they come out because what you dont realize is that what Monsanto is doing is something that naturally occurs but it takes many years for it to occur on its own. If you think this is false search Roundup tolerant weeds. Certain weeds are developing tolerance on their own

@1bigmachine "mice were fed a diet containing MON810 or its parental control maize or a pellet diet containing a GM-free maize""MON810 maize induced alterations in the percentage of T and B cells and of CD4(+), CD8(+), gammadeltaT, and alphabetaT subpopulations of weaning and old mice fed for 30 or 90 days, respectively, at the gut and peripheral sites. An increase of serum IL-6, IL-13, IL-12p70, and MIP-1beta after MON810 feeding was also found." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/190072­33

etc., etc.

@1bigmachine "Atlantic salmon fed GM maize showed some small changes in stress protein levels and activities, but none of these changes were comparable to the normalized gene expression levels analysed for these stress proteins. GM maize seemed to induce significant changes in white blood cell populations which are associated with an immune response." onlinelibrary.wiley"dot"com/do­i/10.1111/j.1365-2761.2007.008­08.x/abstract
