How galling it must be to try to speak up a "technology" based only on emotion which is daily falling further and further behind as people see they are spending a lot of money for no additional benefit. And so we get this desperate ranting against GM while around the world more and more people, in more and more countries, are adopting it. Even the Brits in a recent poll voted 64% in favor of planting GM crops in the mother country. So grow up. All pesticides have the possibility of generating resistance and require proper management. But, boy, are they effective in reducing pests and increasing yields by reducing losses. The organic lobby doesn't like to talk much about that. Increased use of glyphosate (one of the least toxic chemicals, far less dangerous than the manure used by the organic brigade) is exactly one of those situations that needs careful management but how about all those pesticides that are now NOT being used because of being replaced by glyphosate? Not a whisper. It is galling but do try to grow up to face reality instead of for ever living in the land of dreams and illusions.
