My comment on predictability had nothing to do with the articles you posted, but more about how you would respond.

I have no intentions to review my opinion about Monsanto, or GMO's, but I will say, the fight over GMO's is a first world problem.


....yes concern over things like bees, birds, and other wildlife, very first world problems :)
If they created a seed that was drought resistant, pest resistant, weed resistant, and did not require liberal use of pesticides and herbicides, and then sold it to developing nations. Your argument might hold. But they either cannot or do not.
I doubt the argument that gmos are unhealthy will prove true. What does prove true is the continued use of chemicals has a negative impact on the environment, this is not first world problem.
I also abhorre Monsantos aggressive business practices against small farms.

You're reading more into my comment than I said. I just meant that portrayal of GMO's as being the most evil or despicable thing we face in society is a first world problem. I personally would rather ensure everyone globally was fed before I worried if what they were eating was a GMO.

I agree on the effects of excessive use of herbicide. There are some pretty startling studies coming out on the impacts they have on big game right now that I find quite troubling.

In regards to monsanto, I think the situation is much more complex to paint it all with one color, and there more appropriate places to discuss the many nuances to the situation than this thread.
