Is this true? Can't we we give in on glyphosphate without losing GMOs?
- tptacek 7mo agoWe can, but why would we? Without GM in the background, nobody would be talking about glyphosate. It's just an herbicide. People have comfortable priors about herbicides already; the only interesting thing about glyphosate is that it's less gnarly than those priors.

- hinkley 7mo agoRoundup-Ready is a subset of GMO crops. I don't know how profitable they are but it's one of the more loudly announced groups.
