Texas Pushes for GMO Labeling with Introduction of New Bill
Following Vermont's GMO labeling victory
Latest News
State Representative Carol Alvarado from Houston has filed HB 3499, a GMO labeling bill that would require all food sold in Texas to be clearly marked to inform the consumer that they contain genetically modified ingredients.
Texas is a big state, and if this bill were to successfully pass, it could have a profound influence in food manufacturers and biotech interests – putting a much needed damper in their efforts to monopolize our food with toxic crops that have been linked to gut disorders, compromised immunity, organ failure, cancer, and reproductive issues.
In the very least, consumers deserve to know what is in their food – and then by all means if you want to eat a GMO Arctic apple or some genetically modified corn that is full of Bt toxins – have at it – but we want the option to know and say “no thanks!”
This bill would also seriously cramp Monsanto’s style since they like to sell seed to farmers that can’t be replanted each season, and must be repurchased, along with the toxic chemicals they sell to go hand-in-hand with their aptly named Round Up Ready corn, soy, etc. Farmers would save a bundle and be able to plant in ways that are more sustainable for Texas and more nutritious for Texans.
With states like Vermont recently successfully passing mandatory GMO labeling bills, despite the threat of lawsuits from Monsanto and other biotech bullies, Texas could easily pass its own labeling law with support from grassroots initiatives. Be sure to pass the word that Texas wants GMO labeling (and eventually to be GMO-FREE)!
Please also be sure to contact Alvarado and tell her you support her introduction of the bill to label GMOs in Texas!

It is a lie to me, and my family, to not label what i am consuming, and feeding my family. I WANT my food to be labeled gmo or not. I do not like manmade shit. Bottom line, i shouldn’t have to know which brands are and are not gmo. LABEL IT, OR GTFO.
Huh. I’m kinda curious to see if this passes in Texas. On one hand Texas doesn’t seem to pass any law that may have a negative effect on big business (maybe they due and I just don’t pay enough attention). On the other hand, Texas does have a libertarian streak that defies logic and reason. I am honestly curious which will win out here. My bet, this law won’t get passed.
I hear ya. lol. As much as i can fire out my opinion, it all boils down to politics, and not what is healthy or not healthy. I cannot say GMO’s are bad for people, but I also just dont take the risk. That is why i support labeling. If something so simple as a label can make so many so mad, something is wrong with the food by default, or they would not fight so hard against it.
If you want to flip it around, ask yourself how organic food producers and retailers would feel if they were forced to put “Grown in animal feces” on their products. Labels can instill a false sense of risk when the context is not present or the facts are poorly understood.
we could get along. lol. People are easily misled. It took me a long time to see through the haze of media. I still find myself caught up in it at times. When even certain words become offensive in their entirety, it can be difficult to label something. Organic as a word still can encompass a lot of different growing concepts that themselves are questionable. I can only point to the past and say what worked, and what has not. It would be rather humorous if they did just what you stated, and made it mandatory to be concise. “This product wallowed in 100 percent pure Grade A bullshit”.. hahaha.
“and then by all means if you want to eat a GMO Arctic apple”, every store I go into has apples labeled, Fuji, honey crisp, etc. so is Christina saying that people like Jonny and loser Abe aren’t smart enough to figure out if it is gmo if it say arctic Apple? Only if it says gmo arctic apple? I really doubt if it helps, because those two cant even spell gmo.
Hey we just want to know if our food has been genetically modified. Why would anyone want to be as stupid as to say statements that are akin to they really don’t care what is in their food, or if any of the ingredients are toxic, or if there may be any reason to have concern about an ingredient. If you want to eat artificially induced recombinant genes and consume products invented by biotech scientist playing mother nature with the ultimate goal of bottom line profits without concern for the human being consuming these products then please engorge yourself in a manner of indulgence and gluttony. I don’t care if the company that pays you to make these ignorant statements wants to gmo their products. I and others like myself want to know if the company paying you to make you make these statements why they are fighting anti-labeling laws so vigorously? What do you all have to hide to fight something as simple as truthfully labeling your product. And people make typos and grammatical errors all the time. Please grow up and stick to the issues at hand rather than pull the fallacious argument to attack the other commentors. We are not in grade school and we really don’t care if another person commits a typo or grammatical errror. See, oops I spelled error erroneously, but nobody cares except you and those who use logical fallacies that have nothing to do with the issues at hand.
Neither do any of your arguments. If you don’t want to eat gmos eat organic, isn’t that simple. Problem solved leave the rest of us be that are smart enough not to pay outrageous prices for the same food. Either that or you actually get out of grade school and quit listening to gossip and look at the real facts.
Please GMO Roberts, please show me the facts. Please link objective weblinks to the facts that have NO ties to the biotech manufacturers or any sort of conflict of interest. And no the problem is not solved, Mr GMO Roberts. Intelligence and price of item have nothing to do with each other. If a consumer wants to pay less for an item because it is not labeled certified organic, then that is that consumers choice to pay for an item that is not labeled certified organic. If a consumer wants to pay more for a certified organic item, then that is that consumers choice to pay for an item that is certified organic. Intelligence has nothing to do with an economic choice. Also, how can a consumer make an educated smart choice if a company is not being honestly forthright in labeling its product. And the food is not the same. The food you are advocating is genetically modified and the food I am advocating is NOT genetically modified. I don’t understand how anyone doesn’t understand that by definition a GMO item and a non GMO item are different by virtue of modifying the genes. The genes are different so the genotype is different, however the phenotype is similar but not the same as GMO products. GMO products do appear different such as size, color, shape, quality, taste etc… but they are not the same. (and I do apologize if I will be using words that are too big for you such as genotype and phenotype, to grasp, comprehend or understand because by your own admission you claim GMO food and NON-GMO food are the same). Also I never said anyone was in grade school, Mr. GMO Robert, I said we are not in grade school. If anyone is in grade school following this website, I apologize and I applaud those in grade school and I encourage all ages to be concerned about the food they eat. And please address my point about why are you pro-GMO folks working so vigorously to hide whats in our food. If the biotech and food manufacturers have nothing to hide, then honestly label the items GMO. If you feel your GMO product is the same non-gmo product as you claim, then label it and let the consumer believe they are getting a better deal. If someone wants to purchase an honestly labeled GMO product and doesn’t care about this issue, then that person will purchase the item. Then the problem of labeling is solved, Mr GMO Robert. Also Mr GMO Robert, please let me know when you are ready for round 3 because I would like a more evenly matched debate. Maybe the biotech company that pays you to make these ridiculous claims and attacks can employ a more articulate and better thought out person for the job. You are better than some posting these ridiculous claims on these websites, but your company could do so much better.
You are very arrogant and know at least half of what you are talking about. Let me point out a few items. Some of your precious organic food has also been modified and unlabeled, but yet you don’t complain about that do you? Why is that? Secondly, you confuse choice and intelligence again. If someone makes a choice for organic a based on lies that are spread about gmos then that is based on a lack of intelligence about food. Next, you have no right to know what is in food beyond what is required on the label. You have a simple choice buy it or not. Some companies wish to label non gmo that is their right to do so. Next, do you actually realize that most gmo varieties differ by just one or two genes? The difference between a non gmo corn hybrid and its roundup corn version is one gene. There are much bigger differences between to different hybrids than that. Next why are you so ignorant to ASSUME anyone pays me? Very arrogant again Mikey. I am very passionate about the subject because it is my way of life and for no good reason jerks like you are spreading lies.
WOW you actually stated “Next, you have no right to know what is in food beyond what is required on the label”. WOW you are actually trying to say I have no right to know what is in my food. And you call me arrogant!! So if there are trace levels of carcinogens, toxins, poisons, fecal matter, dung beatles or other stuff I dont want to consume and the levels of these different types of things are below mandatory labeling requirements to put them on the label, then you arrogantly claim I have no right to know. That is unbelievable you claim I have no right to know. Let’s go through your few items. If there are organic foods that have been modified, please bring it to the attention to the folks on these kinds of websites. Many of us can report them to the USDA and give them plenty of negative reviews for false labeling. Didnt work out so well for dominos in the UK when they said their product was organic when it wasnt. Now no one trusts them because of deceitful practices. Please bring these companies forward and a candid world can judge them and folks can take action on them. You also purport that lies are being spread about GMO items. Regardless of the untruthfulness of that statement, the underlying issue is I and my family and the public at large does have a right to know if the food we consume has been genetically modified. The food either has or it has NOT been genetically modified. All the manufacturer has to due is label is GMO or NON-GMO. And to your point of the modification of one gene. One modification is still modification. Honestly label the item as such. All it takes is one genetic change in humans to yield and bring forth maladies and syndromes. Attempting to minimize the debate on the number of modifications doesn’t matter and looks pathetic. The issue of the product being modified or not modified is the heart of the debate. And I encourage you to be passionate about this subject. However I do not go to name calling lengths such as you calling me a jerk. I have only pointed out your vastly inferior points and positions that I believe your company could get a better person to defend. Which leads me to the last point of why I assume you work for a company that pays you to post their agendas. This website is Natural Society that strongly advocates for natural foods, natural health, bring to light issues of companies deceptively harming our food supply, and the like. If one were to assume your only reason to advocate for GMO foods and you had no other incentive other than your personal passion, then you wouldnt resort to name calling, personal attacks, fallacious arguments, etc. You would bring to the table an honest discussion and you would also bring to the table the facts you assert but they are not being brought to the table. In other words, why would you even waste your time on a website posting your comments that you post. None of that makes any sense unless there is a motivating factor such as being paid to post the way you post. Embolded passion concerning an issue only goes so far when it comes to posting on websites that really dont hold the position you are inferiorly attempting to maintain. It doesnt make any sense, therefore I believe you work for a company otherwise there is no incentive for you to even be here, however it is your right to be here. I also dont believe I am all that arrogant, I am just simply correct on many positions and issues. Please logically and rationally refute anything I state in my posts. Also I referred to you as Mr. and you referred to me as Mikey. And you call me arrogant when you name call me a jerk and then you use a variation of Michael that you would assume I would fine with you calling me. I am not fine with you calling me a jerk or mikey, but I cant stop you on one of these websites however I can point out your inferior tactics and nonsensical arguments. So are you ready for round 4 MR GMO ROBERTS? And in round four I can copy and paste the definitions of intelligence and choice. If you dont know the difference I will be able to enlighten you on the two different words.
You are not a jerk because you do not agree with me you are one because you accuse me of being paid to be here. I’m sorry that you can’t grasp the truth, and that you are unwilling to take me at my word for this. If you can’t get passed that then no a reasonable discussion is beyond your grasp. As I told you agricultural is my passion my family has been apart of it for over a hundred years. I’m here because I’m tired of the lies that are spread. As far as your label is concerned you still have no right. A company such as coke is entitled to keep there formula secret. Everything that is on a label is there for a reason. A reason backed by science. For example calories, fat, fiber, and ingredients. They do not have to list gmos because whether you like it or not there is no nutritional difference between them and conventional. There also are no reported allergies to gmos so there is no reason again to single them out like peanuts. For your next lesson why don’t you look up mutation breeding. It is don’t by changing a plants Dan using atomic radiation or chemicals. It has given us thousand of varieties including the ruby red grapefruit or the seedless watermelon. Yet these are able to be labeled organic. Where is your outcry? Let’s try another one for you Mikey ( until you give me the courtesy of stating that you do not believe I’m being paid for this I will not give you the courtesy of your full name). You have no complaints about natural crossbreeding, strange how that process has been proven to be dangerous. Try looking up the potato.
Still name calling Mr. GMO roberts. Please list the lies you assert. Natural crossbreeding is done in nature all the time. That is called evolution if nature does it. There is nothing wrong if nature does it. But to manipulate the process artificially in a test tube and say there is no difference between what nature has done for eons and what is being done today is simple nonsense. Yes I do have a right to know. If your agenda is passioned enlightenment on a website like natural society, then you are barking up the wrong tree Mr GMO roberts by making the stupid claim that none of us have the right to know. Its even beyond stupid saying none of us have a right to know considering the audience on this kind of website. Yes there are allergies that are reported with the modifications of gluten in wheat, to BT corn and others. I cant eat some of these foods now because of my intolerance to them when I had no problem growing up consuming these items. I know of other people that cant eat them now either due to their sensitivities and allergic reactions. We dont get those reactions when we consume certified organic. And yes a company should be able to maintain a proprietary right to a formula, however they are required to list ingredients but not required to list the percentages or amounts or ratios. I don’t care to know their secret proprietary amounts, percentages or the like. I just want to know if they meddled with the genes in the final product so it doesnt affect my health. The more you try to defend this simple point the more deceptive it looks. Just tell us if any of the ingredients have been artificially manipulated. It is that simple and that is all we want to know. What do the manufacturers and advocates such as yourself have to hide. If your products are so great then take pride in them and people will buy them. Rather manufacturers and advocates such as yourself hide behind current labeling requirements that are deceptive in nature and it DOES affect my health and other people I know. And hey, if the process of being able to label something as organic needs to be updated to limit the use of radiation or chemicals to alter genes I am all for that also. So please start a movement that can further your claims that organic labeling is not honest. Please enlighten all of us and paste weblinks and articles. Many of us want to know if anything is being messed in our food. We have the right to know because we HAVE to eat to live. This is not a matter of preference, because we have to eat in order to live. So we all HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW. And please, who is really having a reasonable discussion here? People like me just want to know if our food has been modified and for the manufacturer to label it as modified. You tell me I have no right to know. Who is really being unreasonable here? And I never asked you for the courtesy of using my full first name. Since you are stilling calling me names in your posts, let me sarcastically give you a grade school response. Sticks and stones may break my bones but names can never hurt me. Or better yet, let the reader of these posts come to their conclusion of who is acting like they are in grade school.
Well Mikey I offered a true on your name, but you didn’t take it. So let’s just point out a few of your errors. First you think that any food that has been manipulated by man in anyway, whether gmo or crossbreeding is wrong and should be labeled. Well Mikey I hate to tell you, but man has been changing food for the last ten thousand years. We wouldn’t have hardly any of the foods we have today if he hadn’t. Secondly, the I know people who have issues, isn’t quite scientific. Maybe you should submit yourself for testing if you are truly allergic to Bt. The wheat thing is just wrong as gmo wheat is not commercialized. I still stand by the facts that after twenty years not a single case of gmos allergy has been reported and confirmed. As for your precious labels do you actually know the loop holes? I’m sure you like to tout Ben &Jerry’s non gmo stance, but it might interest you to learn that the milk is from good old gmo feed cows. How can they do this? Because milk and meat aren’t labeled for gmos, even in Europe. So if you want a true label then you had bettered buy organic, or radioactive organic or whatever it is.
I am advocating for nature being able to be the decider whether it is crossbreeding or any of the like and not man being able to dice and slice genes in a test tube or a lab otherwise label it. Nature does it right. Trying to crossbreed and letting nature decide is fine if nature is the one who makes any changes and that is evolution. And no I am wrong on that point. It is a logical suppressed evidence fallacy to claim that man has been making changes for thousands of years and its ok to do it even though show me the labs or test tubes farmers used thousands of years ago to make the slice and diced genes that they could control with deletion and insertion. No man may have tried to crossbreed and the like, but they could not actually go in and splice and dice and recombine. Nature chose the ultimate changes that were made. It is not correct to say biotech companies do the exact same thing man did thousands of years ago. On the wheat issue, yes it has been GMO’d. As for Ben and Jerry’s I dont find it acceptable that they use dairy products from GMO beef and call it GMO free. I cant even eat your regular store hamburger or steak now because what it does to me. I have to go to the lengths of free range chickens and cattle for meat and free range cow milk. So I dont consume these items from companies like ben and jerry’s unless that company has labeled their product that the animals used for that product have not had any hormones, antibiotics, steroids and the animal is considered free range and not Confined animal feeding operation. But my point all along, just label it.
Nature did take its course with the potato and thankfully the safe guards were in place to catch it. The same safe guards that gmos went thru without issues. You wanting something doesn’t make it right and that is why it won’t happen. Our rules are in place for all, what gives you the right to place a bigger burden of red tape on companies? What gives you the right to raise food costs for all of us? Because your tummy hurts, but instead of going to the doctor, you played doctor and blame gmos. Your rights end where mine begin Mikey.
what safe guards? the free pass from the fda? Roberta your jig is up everyone knows you are paid by a biotech company.
Still grasping for straws are you. LOL, more people are waking up to your lies every day.
you are the one grasping at straws and going down with the ship. I’ve fed you so much crow your still passing feathers I’m sure. And yes more people are waking to the dangers of gmo toxins.
You haven’t done anything to me, you are the only fool that even thinks so. As far as gmos are concerned it is true that we probably will level off in the ninety percent range and stay there. However the great thing is new ones are coming on board.
What the hell are you talking about, everyone on here hands you your ass big time. How about the lady you were commenting to today…….She handed it to ya BIG TIME! Again you don’t fool anyone and are obvious as hell what your up to and who you work for. Are the new ones more toxic and get a free pass with no studies also?
Sorry how was that nap that gave you that dream? Wake up sometime and see the real world. Let’s face it you can’t even accept the fact that Obama won not once, but twice. You are definitely out of touch.
no dream just fact anyone on here can check and see how bad you are lying. as far as obumer he is just a puppet like all of them had since JFK. he didn’t go along with the NWO/globalist bankers and bang your done. Don’t believe in the NWO look at the pyramid on the back of the dollar bill. see the eye of lucifer the hidden hand worships. translate what is around it. You have no clue how deep this is. The dems repubs left right tea lib etc etc is an illusion to make you think you live in a republic…..wake up call you don’t. look into illuminati goals and open your fricken eyes for ONCE! how about the bill gates gmo chemtrails connection vid. start connecting some dots little boy.
LOL and you wonder why no one takes you seriously. I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to name all of the top nut theories in one sentence. No wonder you just hang out on this obscure site that few actually visit.
I don’t have I site. I used to but nothing about this kind of stuff. again you are the one they don’t take serious just look at the thumbs up from me to you……OUCH that gotta hurt. this site is about 5% of the time I spend commenting. most of the time it is yahoo ass press or you tube and once and awhile some others. Again you no not what you speak of. so its a nut job theory if it is right in front of you on the dollar bill. I could go on and on but gmo’s are over your head and they are just a drop in the bucket.
No, everyone here wonders and laughs at you Mr. Monsanto Roberts and no one takes you seriously on this website. Please visit the Chipotle article on this website. All of us would love to hear your feedback on a large chain moving to NON-GMO. Oh darnit for you, your company will start losing more profits as more and more chains move away from your GMO products. I am waiting for your reply to my comments in the chipotle article. I will have my blue NON-GMO popcorn popped in organic coconut oil with sea salt and butter from grass fed free range cows with no steroids, preservatives, hormones, antibiotics waiting to eat. I would like a good laugh at your pathetic corporate paid posts to complement my all natural popcorn. Darn that popcorn being organic with organic ingredients is darn yummy. Oh Mr. Monsanto Roberts, please dont make me wait and reply to my comment on the chipolte article.
LOL, since ther isn’t a gmo popcorn how could you have anything else? You stupidity is amazing. Keep the laughs coming Mikey!! Secondly, you then called non gmo organic. You obviously don’t know the difference again. Thanks for proving why labels are confusing and not needed.
Oh really, no GMO popcorn. Your company has not vetted you well MR MONSANTO ROBERTS. Yes there is GMO popcorn. I get the blue organic NON-GMO popcorn. It actually tastes like popcorn did when we were young. Yes I see the difference, you need to find a different line of work since your pink slip should be coming since your company profits will continue to sink, sink, sink. All hail the end of MR. Monsanto Roberts.
I will humor you Mikey just to prove you don’t know what you are talking about. Name the gmo variety of popcorn, of course you will come up with some excuse for not doing so, but in reality there isn’t any. Secondly, why put organic non gmo? Organic is suppose to be automatically non gmo. Sounds like you are confused once again Mikey.
Well Mr. Monsanto Roberts, as much as it pains me, you are correct on popcorn not being GMO’d from what I could find . That is not to say that your employer Monsanto hasnt pushed for it big time from the epa website i visited. For a rare occurence, the FDA actually had the balls to say no to your dear employer Monsanto (One of your former execs must have not been there to vote yes on popcorn gmo). I dont know what your biotech companies are doing and maybe it is major messed up cross breeding in most popcorn today, but popcorn is not the same today as it was when I was younger because the effects we have after eating never used to happen to my family until recently. However, blue popcorn that is organic for some reason still doesnt have the same effects on my family after eating it. And it aint playing doctor if you eat something and it does bad things to your body. If you have an allergic inflammatory response, then you have an allergic inflammatory response. But oh the pesticides that is allowed to be sprayed on that popcorn. I did find quite the list of pesticides on the epa. gov website the epa allows them to spray on the popcorn. And maybe you are too dense to understand GMO means genetically modifying the genes and Organic has the The USDA organic seal that verifies irradiation, sewage sludge,
synthetic fertilizers, prohibited pesticides, and genetically modified
organisms were not used. That wasnt too far over your head was it? Sometimes with simpleton folk such as yourself, you have to use a bit of redundancy. Now I did admit you were correct on popcorn not being GMO’d (at least for now until monsanto gets more execs on the approval committees), do you ever admit to being incorrect, Mr Monsanto Roberts?
Mr. Monsanto Roberts, my last comment has been 38 minutes since my last post in reply to you. I hope your paycheck doesnt reflect too long of a time to reply. I mean, your supervisor may need to re-evaluate your pathetic uselessness in promoting your company.
Sorry just got home from work, something you wouldn’t understand. Try posting in the morning and see if I reply if you wish. I will be go busy having my people spray the ground for gmo planting.
New ones are coming on board. Wow corporate people and managers love that phrase ‘on board’. To be on board you have to be part of the team. Mr monsanto roberts, are you ever going to come out of the monsanto corporate closet or are you still playing the innocent family farmer act. If you were such a hard working family farmer, how do you have so much time on your hands to make all these posts when your gmo seeds need to be getting in the fields and you working real hard at growing pseudo food to harm peoples health.
You don’t comprehend well do you Mikey. Never said I was a farmer. Do you always take things out of context? Or are you just to stupid to understand, but still voice your opinion? I’m sure it amazes you that someone can post a few comments in a short amount of time when it takes you hours to formulate your lies. You are a very sad person Mikey, and then you wonder why labeling has been defeated every time it was put to a vote.
Oh hurt my feelings Monsanto Roberts. Yes I can comprehend your company could do so much better than your pathetic comments. Did they even give an interview when they hired you or is it anyone that can put together 2 non-thoughts? Your family has been in agriculture for over a hundred years you state. Anyone going to believe that little white lie there Monsanto Roberts. You are so passioned about agriculture but you say you are not a farmer. Can you at least make sure you maintain your fabrications, Mr Monsanto Roberts.
Oh Mikey, you are really boring. Sorry you can’t accept the truth that someone that helps farmers can be passionate about agriculture, but then again it shouldn’t surprise me knowing how little knowledge you have on the subjec.
So you are a family of farmers for over a hundred years but you are just some fellow who just helps farmers. Really? Oh I guess if you consider working for Monsanto helping farmers then that might be a stretch of a fabrication in your universe. And I am not boring in the least. I am still waiting for you to start to be truthful. No one spends this much time on a website like natural society with the with the volume of comments you post that goes against the grain of the website without it being money driven or employment driven. Amazing you have so much time on your hands to keep replying to me but you have no incentive other than your passion as you state. Mr Monsanto Roberts, I have yet to hear you state any negative aspects of genetic modification in our food. Maybe the readers of these comment sections might believe you if you gave a balanced side of the discussion. But oh no your line this whole time that I have seen in your comments is GMO is safe with no adverse effects whatsoever and no reason any company should be required to label their products honestly with transparency. Please throw us a bone, Mr Monsanto Roberts, is there any downside to the GMO food industry. Please enlighten us dear poor ignorant non-gmo’ers
Yes Mikey, sorry Johnny, the down side is they destroy your organic fantasy world. Instead of a world where only the rich can afford the little food produced, we have a world in real life with abundance. I’m sorry it scares you so.
We are not scared. It is your master that is so scared. So why wont your master who signs your check for posting, honestly and transparently label its product? What do you and your master have to hide? What was that you stated none of us have a right to know what we are eating? Funny thing about your post, I have found out organic food when shopped at the right place is sometimes cheaper than your GMO crap. These products have that little green circle that says USDA Organic. And some of the products are the same price and some are actually cheaper. So no they dont destroy any fantasy world about organics.
Lol, that is most likely the radiation labeled organic. Or was it in the close out section because no one would pay full price for it Johnny.
Nope. I get these products in different mainstream stores, and some of them in mom and pop shop stores. I would like to explain to you how I find these deals but you think choice and intelligence are the same thing from a prior post. So I dont want to waste my time explaining how using intelligence a consumer can make a wise choice. My children understand this notion and they are little kids. I would ask them to explain it to you but I fear they would be wasting their time talking over your head. And I would like to meet this Johnny. He must have raked you over the coals for you to actually think I am that screen name. Can you please introduce me to him. Maybe both of us can put you through the ringer for being dumb enough to keep replying and posting on this sort of website.
No the public at large is waking up to your gmo lies and the market is forcing your products out the door and into the junk pile. Chipotle is ahead of the curve. Mr monsanto roberts, what will you do when your company that pays you for these pathetic posts goes deeper in the red and forces cutbacks for unnecessary employees such as yourself
First of all Mikey, they ain’t my company, I don’t even sell their stuff. Secondly, you are the ones spreading lies as there is nothing but safety on gmos. Third, even though I don’t like Monsanto, they are still making a profit. It has declined the last few quarters, but then again record profits don’t last forever for any company. Lastly, why accuse people of things you know aren’t true, Mikey? It just proves you are the jerk that I labeled you as.
So is it Bayer Roberts? Or Dow Roberts? Nope, you downplay Monsanto too much. Nope, Monsanto Roberts fits you well. And oh hurt my feelings calling me a jerk. Keep posting your spewing lies about GMO’s and the masters you bow down to. It will only embolden us organic folk to push harder since your corporation will go down in the red over time. The market and demand will be the ultimate decider.
Well Mikey I will admit I sell a few batter products, but mainly Dow and basf. If gmos go away which they won’t, I will simply go back to selling all of the non gmo chemicals we used to. The ones that actually do harm to the environment and to the workers that have to deal with them. Is that what you really want Mikey? No, you expect the whole world to go organic and sorry, but that isn’t going to happen unless a lot of people are willing to starve to death.
Jerk is the best label you can come up with. Firstly, see how EASY IT IS TO LABEL. Now just tell your company to label their products as GMO. You labeled me a jerk and it was really easy to do. Secondly, isnt the word jerk a little too sophisticated for you Mr. Monsanto Roberts. I figured your caliber would be the ranks of something akin to ‘Oh yeah, you are a poopy diaper eater’. I mean grade school kids come up with better stuff than ‘jerk’.
