also minor league baseball fuckin sucks because there is no reason to get excited about your local team there are only 30 teams that are capable of being care dabout nationwide and that is some fuckin dumb poo poo especially because baseball should really have a team in all sorts of crazy rear end cities like akron ohio or like sioux falls or like imagine if they put a baseball team in a city like san diego (lol padres suck joke)

I disagree. Bernie probably just killed the M&Ms brand by bringing attention to that. Terrible. The brand will be dead within a year.

I got into a GMO argument with a Bernie person a couple weeks ago. It always seems to come down to, "I just want to know" because obviously there's absolutely no evidence or solid justifications to fall back on. What I don't get about the "let the free market figure it out" approach is how is that not the case right now? The market is already free - anybody is free to label that their product is GMO-free if they like, and many do. Does Sanders' bill address any of the nuance, like if a cow is grazed on GMO corn/grass is it a GMO food? If something is manufactured using a chemical byproduct of GMO corn, is that foodstuff now unable to be considered GMO-free? My main thing is that the USDA requires the use of no GMO foodstuffs for a product to maintain the Organic label, so no GMO labeling laws ALREADY EXIST. What is the purpose of the new laws?

/\/\ it does immediate economic damage to agriculture. Immediate, and grave consequences with the way things are currently done. Also the benefit is basically nil, so combine that with the huge-rear end negative? Epic High Five posted:My main thing is that the USDA requires the use of no GMO foodstuffs for a product to maintain the Organic label, so no GMO labeling laws ALREADY EXIST. What is the purpose of the new laws? I don't really see it as much different than the irradiation thing. Labeling may seem harmless, but people can be idiots, and large numbers of idiots avoiding GMOs is bad news bears for efforts to do good things for the survival of humans. Things like develop high-yield wheat so there's stuff to send other places, or especially resilient crops so farmers can grow in places that aren't very hospitable.

We're past the point where we can be lackadaisical about how our arable land is being utilized, and Organic and non-GMO is disgustingly inefficient The future is going to be GMO variants of the crops we're used to right now, or non-GMO fields of nothing but sorghum and millet. I'm kind of curious as to when beef gets priced out of the range of most people though, because water isn't going to be getting cheaper and cows use a TON

i think the problem is we need to make sure that as we transition to lab grown/GMO/etc poo poo, that those food sources aren't controlled by corporate interests. ...which would be impossible to ensure right now. systematic changes need to coincide w/this stuff, in other words. (i'm not saying i have an answer to this lmao i definitely don't)

Error 404 posted:So what you're saying is we should just burn monsanto to the ground. Monsanto is no more evil than any other giant multinational corporation. The stories of malicious lawsuits against poor innocent farmers are largely myths. We should call for an open culture of research surrounding GMOs and fund more public science rather than leave the bulk of the operation up to the dreaded free market, but thats not because Monsanto has some evil agenda beyond making a poo poo ton of money.

So he genuinely believes that 'GMOs' are enough of a danger to need to be aware of, but also that such a tiny, easily ignored, label is good enough? Gee it's almost like he doesn't actually believe in this but just supports it for easy green points. Still gently caress that, unless they're ok with labeling every single ear of corn or apple ever grown as 'GMO' these people are all full of poo poo.
