Accusing someone of being a shill is just such a ridiculous argument, as if you can't imagine that anyone could possibly disagree with you of their own free will or even, heaven forbid, be right.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283163632372375472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046519121559017989.post-33908238363492623372016-01-02T13:47:02.740-05:002016-01-02T13:47:02.740-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283163632372375472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046519121559017989.post-82995234416318837152016-01-02T12:11:53.679-05:002016-01-02T12:11:53.679-05:00The point of labeling a product is to warn against...The point of labeling a product is to warn against something dangerous; a possible allergy, toxicity, poisonous..none of which apply to GE tech. If you are afraid of GE tech, then avoid it. Avoid heavily processed food and buy Organic or Non-GMO Verified products. Referring to Taleb as "Nicky" is a poke at his childish behavior and is well deserved. When a grown man refers to people, asking genuine questions, as retards...he loses all credibility. I prefer to call him Nassim the Narcissist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293741169556226263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046519121559017989.post-47695352094607091562016-01-02T08:16:58.278-05:002016-01-02T08:16:58.278-05:00if GMOs are harmless why oppose labelling food mad...if GMOs are harmless why oppose labelling food made with/from them? nothing to hide? or something to hide? why not boldly label them? Why not waive limits on liability? suppression of information and limiting liabilities are tells of something to hide, which may include a risk or an unknown extent of a known risky. Calling someone by their diminutive "Nicky" so many times causes me to suspect this particular arguer of being a shill. and most shills are paid shills. cheers.stevelaudig@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728229684840209991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046519121559017989.post-65644640248567984952016-01-02T06:34:46.514-05:002016-01-02T06:34:46.514-05:00re: "I challenge anyone to give me a risk tha...re: "I challenge anyone to give me a risk that applies to biotech crops on the market now that does not apply to other breeding methods." <br /><br />The risk of monotony. GMO crops are designed and marketed to eliminate competition. To be the only product that can be grown and marketed. <br /><br />Risk comes from a focus on single solutions, in a changing environment. Health comes from variety, not monotony. Health comes from freedom to choose, from a single product marketed in a variety of packages, a variety of formats. The 'other breeding method'? An open market, that is open to marketing seeds and products with variety, open to real competition. Any mono-product is more subject to risk than a variety of products. GMOs are mono-products.

The herbicide resistance claim is a great example of either his ignorance or perfidy. He is clearly unaware of triazine or imazamox tolerance crops, or is trying to pretend they don't exist.Tyson Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04005029021630971100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046519121559017989.post-27395548951561066522015-09-20T13:14:49.013-04:002015-09-20T13:14:49.013-04:00Very well done.

His comeback: "you can't take away people's superstition until you can give them something to take its place". I kid you not, watch the YouTube for yourself.
