[AT] OT--game changer

[Stephen Offiler]

i generally agree with David with regards to the scientific precision, or lack thereof.  Also, it’s a mistake to get your news on scientific matters from the mass media.  They dumb down and sensationalize.  Go where the study was published if at all possible (Lancet Oncology in this case, but not sure if it is publicly accessible) and look at it for yourself.  It’s not necessary WRONG just because ABC News carried it, either.

SO

By no means am I screaming the sky is falling, matter of fact I’m going to look at a corn planter this weekend (hopefully) to plant some GMO Roundup Ready Corn. If I don’t I’ll just plant some Roundup Ready soybeans. Now supposing the article gains favor and more studies steer us away from glyphosphate, will there be a new bunch of antique collectors 30 years from now discussing how they used to no-till their crops and then spray once with weed killer?
