No need to go through mental gymnastics, just call a spade a spade. He's a shill, and the poisoning-our-food industry employs the most shills overall.

So you're advocating against long term human studies? That's... odd.

Be prepared for the army of shills - this topic is one of the most targeted by shills.

So your answer is to rely on the DoJ, that itself is so corrupt it couldn't prosecute its way out of a paper bag? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the entire system is corr…

I agree with you. I think I'm just more optimistic is all.

Ahh yes, just an honest mistake, and so long as only one million people are killed, not two, then we can promptly dismiss any concerns. Is that how it works? I wonder if you think …
