No, Beer Can, I think more Old Folks people thought of the Eurythmics....

Not me. Eurythmics were after my time. I remember what they looked like.

I want to have a sensible, non heated discussion about GMO and our sensible group should be able to handle it

questions

Are you anti-GMO?

whether yes or no, why?

instead of genetically modifying crops to be insect resistant, what do you think we should do to decrease pesticide use/

I saw it and will post later today because my answer may not be short. I have a lot of things going on right now.

I think the jury is still out on the potential problems that could arise from mixing genetics of different species.
That said, I'm anti-GMO, primarily because it think it is leading us toward the end of seed saving and genetic diversity of heirloom vegatables and field crops.

I appreciate what large scale production has done to feed an ever growing urban population.
Intercropping and crop rotation can help a lot over monoculture crops.

Eurythmics. I had no idee MM even sang it. But I don't listen to him anyways.

GMO- I came across a news blurb earlier today online. "GMO's....might...cause cancer" That is as far as anyone has stuck their toe in that water. I need to go find that article again.
