So, are you opposed to gmo, or are you opposed to glyphosate?
Two different issues, I often see them somehow confused or interchanged in the same argument, which makes no sense.
You may be opposed to both, but still poor of you to confuse the argument into a single deal, because they are not the same argument.
Gmo is about splicing genes together in different combinations. Is that a good or bad idea to try to advance our place here on earth.
And is glyphosate a good product that has more positives than negatives in weed control/ food supplies on this planet.
There are many gmo crops that have nothing to do with glyphosate - Liberty Link and insect control as a few. Several new ones have been developed and working their way through testing and permitting now.
It is all about identifying the problems, and the solutions, and choosing the best options amongst them.
Everything is a risk vs reward.
We still use asbestos in some rare places, because it still ends up being the far better and safer product for those places.
So this is black and white, as you portray.
Evaluate the risks vs the rewards.
No glyphosate, we return to the use of more probably harsher weed chemicals.
No herbicides at all. We return to more soil erosion, more diesel fuel needed, more crop losses to weed outbreaks.
Thre is always a risk and reward.
I don't see that proper science in your reply, you have a belief, not a scientific theory........
That's fine, but doesn't mean so much to others.
Can you frame your beliefs within science and list the risks and rewards of what you want vs what we have?

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
