Buy Valium 10 Mg Online Europe’s latest bout of GMO phobia is captured in this Guardian headline<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u00a0EU bans GM-contaminated honey from general sale<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In case you didn’t catch the tilt of the article, here’s the subhead:<\/p>\n

https://growthjourneytherapy.com/specialties/generational-trauma/ Bavarian beekeepers forced to declare their honey as genetically modified because of contamination from nearby Monsanto crops<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The thrust of this mind boggling story:<\/p>\n

https://blackhillsballoons.com/team/ The European Union’s highest court on Tuesday ruled that honey which contains trace amounts of pollen from genetically modified (GM<\/a>) corn must be labelled as GM produce and undergo full safety authorisation before it can be sold as\u00a0food<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In what green groups are calling a “groundbreaking” ruling, the decision could force the EU to strengthen its already near-zero tolerance policy on genetically modified organisms (GMOs).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

https://theroyalstagproperties.com/accommodations/ The Guardian story’s bias is quite obvious, as it is frontloaded with cheerleading greens and anti-GMO voices. The scientists get their say after that. Just for kicks, I waded into the comment thread (which is quite a smackdown between the pro and anti camps) and plucked out a few notables.<\/p>\n

https://www.secpeinvestments.com/property-management/ Here’s a wry, nicely understated observation<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Greenpeace is becoming more annoying than some religions; worrying indeed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

https://disneycruisinggroup.com/hotels/ From someone who sounds<\/a> exasperated:<\/p>\n

Madness. This madness has to stop. There isn’t even the slightest hint of any chance of any potential harm to human health here yet the nutters want to ban science and modernity for their silly obsessions.<\/p>\n

This is going beyond a mere ideological obsession and becoming religious in its rejection of fact, reason and science.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As if on cue<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Tramadol 50 Mg Price good, they should ban GMOs<\/p>\n

https://growthjourneytherapy.com/careers/ sick to death of them sneaking in dodgy ingredients into food. In the long run GMO will kill wildlife, degrade soil, impact human health. Goodness knows where it will end.<\/p>\n

The egg heads will say, this is not proven by science, trust us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

https://www.andrewplimmer.com/7-day-shift/ This one<\/a> gets points for its audacious idiocy:<\/p>\n

Order Xanax No Prescription There have been hundreds of studies done by professional laboratories around the world and every one shows GMs to be dangerous. The only exception is the rigged studies and results from Monsanto who are not just allowed but helped by the US government to sell extremely dangerous products.<\/p>\n

There is no evidence at all of any benefits from GMOs other than Monsanto’s propaganda. Their intent is to control the world’s food supply. Gullible people are helping them along with politicians and scientists paid by Monsanto.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tramadol For Sale Online And finally, my favorite, a plea<\/a> from an apparent environmentalist:<\/p>\n

Buy Ativan Online Without Prescription This thread is even better than the anti-nuclear \/ pro-coal ravings of the neo-green climate change deniers.<\/p>\n

Buy Clonazepam Without Prescription I don’t think I’ve ever read more baseless anti-science, fundamentalist, conspiracy theory paranoia in CIF. Some of you greens are nothing less than a psychotic lynch-mob.<\/p>\n

Order Hydrocodone Online Environmentalism is a SCIENCE. The ‘Green” movement has turned into some kind of twisted religion and will destroy the credibility of the Environmental Movement if this new-age, voodoo-brain crap doesn’t stop.<\/p>\n
