OK with everything you just said? Do you have irrefutable proof of it? If not it's your opinion. If you do? Call Bayer. I'm sure they will hire you in a heartbeat to work on their defense team.

Just like the claim that the jurors made those findings based solely on emotions and no facts. Guess what? The lawyers for the plaintiff had scientist and others who testified against Bayer and Roundup. They were cross examined by the Bayer lawyers. They the Bayer lawyers presented their experts. They in turn were crossed examined by the plaintiff's lawyers. The jury then decided that the experts presented by Bayer where not honest and found against Bayer. The only place I see emotion was in the size of the awards.

Now ask yourself some questions. And I'm not getting into weather GMO's are good or bad. Nor supporting or condemning Roundup. But why has Cargill seemingly been distancing itself from this stuff the last couple of years? Starting right about the time when Monsanto (very profitable company at the time) sells out to Bayer? Dumping liability on Bayer? Inquiring minds want to know? Why does anyone trust what a FOR PROFIT company tells them? Seems to me it's most often they just blindly believe when their own profits stand to improve.

Here is a question for you. If you had a tank that held enough water for you to shower. Would you let me put one drop of roundup in that tank of water before you took a shower each time? How about it I added that drop of Roundup to that tank before your wife or kids showered? Do you trust it's safety that much? How about a water tank that held a weeks worth of water for cooking, dishes and human consumption. Going to let me put a drop of roundup in that tank once a week? Stop using bottle water? If you say no then claim Roundup is safe who am I supposed to believe you?

Paul you can have your opinion of the organic food thing all you want. For the most part I agree, it's a gimmick. But my mother had company bad in the late 90's that was into organic. She ask me to get a bottle of organic milk for her. I had to drive 25 miles and the largest grocery store in Fergus Falls at the time had a 4'X6' organic food section. That's it. Now that was an upper scale grocery store too. The lower scale ones had nothing organic. Now around here? Most of the folks on a budget shop the "Super Center". We seldom go in a WalMart at all so it was a shock this winter when I was in one at the amount of space dedicated to "free range/grass fed/cage free (add whatever else) organic" stuff. It's way more than a fad. Kinda funny living in a rural area to be in a convenience at 7 AM when the young folks are stopping for coffee and snacks at work to watch young construction workers reading labels on "healthy snack bars". Talking to each other "hey you don't want that brand, may contain GMO's". We ain't talking doctors and lawyers. We are talking mechanics, plumbers, electricians, machine operators and carpenters.

I know. There goes the notion that you are your own boss. Well you never really were. The weather was. The crops were as was the livestock. Well now the consumer is too. They do away with the "renewable fuels" mandates which becomes more and more possible each day and the farmer will be totally dependent on customer demand.
