I grew up on a farm and vividly remember when Roundup Ready beans came out in 1996, it was a godsend because we didn’t have to walk beans anymore.

They told us it broke down quickly and was water soluble and completely harmless. And you’re right, most is applied early but people still use it to desiccate crops before harvest (as well as paraquat) and don’t give a fuck about any labeling. It’s ok to spray paraquat 15 days or more before harvest of soybeans. I stood in a field with a farmer two weeks ago who dessicates all of his soybeans with it so he can control senescence (and thus moisture at harvest so they don’t get too dry and shatter). That shit hasn’t gone anywhere in 15 days. But it’s legal.

I used to think the exact same way you do. I worked for a seed company that published these studies showing how GMO crops (particularly Roundup) saved so much other toxic chemicals that it would fill a train from NY to LA and that was back in the mid 2000s.   

But come to find out that wasn’t really the truth, and glyphosate residues can be found in an alarming number of foods in the US. It persists in the soil.

There’s no real consensus on what’s even safe—it’s pretty widely believed to be an endocrine disruptor—and if you look at what’s happened to the health of our population the last 30 years, there’s more than just poor dietary decisions being made. There’s something seriously wrong with what we are eating.

I don’t think glyphosate is 100% to blame by any means, but I’ve certainly come around to the idea that it’s partially to blame. They don’t have these problems in Europe, and they don’t do RR GMOs there. At least nowhere on the scale that we do.

Perhaps Hal9000 can weigh in on this!

I haven't heard much about glyphosate being used as a dessicant, especially since RR beans are so prevalent now. It's pretty much paraquat or glufosinate. Or select the right maturity soybeans and plant them when you're supposed to plant them.

There are a lot of studies done on IR and HT proteins and their safety long before they hit the market. They have to pass certain thresholds. Are the thresholds high enough? Who knows, but companies aren't just inventing this shit and going straight to market with it.

If I know a cow spent its life eating Bt or RR corn, and gets butchered, I'm eating the fucker. I do not care. There are so many other things to worry about getting you than GMOs.

And try taking conventional, organic corn to the elevator with aflatoxin in it lol. Have fun taking it back home.

Reading this, I do have to laugh at your original premise on the $1.99 eggs from Aldi. You buy "Non-GMO spray" and Organic strawberries, then you go out and buy what are probably the worst of the worst eggs in the US.

Petaluma, near us, was known as "The World's Egg Basket" and still has pretty big production, pretty much all of it organic pasture raised. So I talk to a lot of egg farmers and they have some very gnarly things to say about those cheap $2/dozen factory farmed eggs. Basically "they are good for dying colors at Easter but don't eat them".

We pay $8/dozen for pasture raised eggs, from a vending machine that the farmer has in his front yard, or the same price from another family that puts them in a refrigerator on their front porch and you put the money into a shoebox.

Aside from whatever shit is in those eggs, those cheap Aldi eggs have yolks that are a sickly pale yellow, ours are deep orange. Taste so much better. And 100% goes to the farmer, not some cheap ass german grocery store that is automating out 'Merican jobs, you commie.

Murph, can you share some of your designer eggs with Tempo?

Organic strawberries = not sprayed with pesticides. So, probably ravaged with fungi.

At least they're not marketing them as non-GMO. Because there are no GMO strawberries lol

We get farm.fresh eggs free from a friend twice a month. They are different colors and have the orange yolks. Have to crack them into a bowl.

They have duck eggs too, but I never tried those..

Other than that we pay about 6 dollars for a dozen for free range brown eggs. Those are worth the extra $.

I've had duck eggs. Got a dozen from a guy a while back. They taste like...eggs. They're just much larger than chicken eggs.

In summary, I've had duck eggs.

Good of Lutnick to give Epstein the spot he deserves in terms of media attention.  And now you get called into the principal’s office.

Trump will make it very clear to him, that he got a call from a very angry Vladimir Putin, who wanted to make sure that Lutnick knows that Epstein was a mere padwan blackmailer compared to Darth Vlad
