  1. The accuracy of this article may be judged, perhaps, by the illustration: it shows DNA with a left-handed screw-thread.

    No such chemical exists in this particular universe.

    Elsewhere in Multiverse, mileage may vary.

    (PS, The professed inability to see the difference between engineering with yeast, a living, biological actor, and the addition of chemicals like salt and curcumin to affect taste is fey, but odd. . Is the writer that stupid? Or does she think we are that stupid, which would be even stupider of her?

    1. Do NYT and Monsanto think we’re so stupid as to not know the difference between putting natural ingredients together to make beer vs. extracting DNA from one species, putting it in a different species, and adding large dollop of toleration to carcinogenic Roundup for ‘added appeal’? – Monsanto is desperately trying to greenwash its pathogenic GMOs, just like BP is desperately trying to greenwash its Gulf ecocide. It’s the nature of the corporatist-fascist beast to do that. Neither one cares if their operations kill you.

      1. Adding Roundup “for added appeal”? What is that supposed to be all about?

        I don’t think Monsanto has ever proposed adding Roundup to any food. Nor have I seen it proposed added to anything else for that reason. Sounds like something that might turn up in cult propaganda, seems to me…

        1. Re “added appeal”: You’re obviously sarcasm-impaired.

          Ca. 99% of Monsanto’s GMO ‘crops’ are genetically engineered (I’d say “genetically mutilated”) to withstand and not die from repeated spraying with Roundup, which contains the known carcinogen glyphosate. The GMO ‘crops’ absorb the Roundup systemically. Thus, whoever eats the GMO ‘plant’ eats the poison.

          Ask your owners to give you new propagandoids. The ones you have aren’t working.

          1. …and you’re another anti-science ignoramus who writes his scripts by looking in the mirror and describing himself.

          2. Lol. I notice that you said nothing about Monsanto’s monstrous and pathogenic creations, the main topic of my posts. But since you’ve chosen name-calling, I’ll note that you’re a sexist who assumes that whoever posts on the internet is male. Moreover, you’re insular and foreign-language-impaired, or you would’ve noticed that my name means “female gypsy.”

            As I said, ask your owners to give you new propagandoids. I’ll be happy to point out their shortcomings too. Chuckle.

          3. Not interested in Monsanto one way or the other: I’ve stuck to the objective errors people have been posting here.

            Roma, I confess, is not among my 24 tourist-level languages or the four I actually speak, but I’d be happy to have you as a coach. It intimidates me just as much as Cantonese does, and for the same reason: as a living language used by people of several different enthicities it is both highly varied and fest evolving. Are you on Skype?

          4. Wrong again. It’s a transliteration from Russian.

          5. Pity that (though there are many Russian “Gypsies,” so who knew?)

            It’s a few items down my list, getting my Russian up from tourist to genuine, so I’ll think of you again in a few years.

            Not sooner, though. Don’t worry.

            Back to your auto-drivel.
