remember, only because the rows were uneven and parts had no kernels,

Also something you don't see is all the chemicals slathered on to kill
the worms...
The biggest advancement against wormy corn has been Genetic
Modification - making the corn resistant to corn borer so chemicals
are less required.

Much of the effective pesticide application is done at the soil level
- "band application" - not sprayed on the plant or "slathered on" AN
example in corn is "Mustang".


BigAg and BigFarmChem thoroughly tested GMOs and farm chemicals so they
are totally safe for you. No need to worry.

In fact, it wouldn't hurt to give your dinner a quick spritz of Roundup
before serving to make sure you got all the bugs dead.

Roundup doesnt kill bugs, stupid.

Rod and Trader agreeing, yikes the apocalypse is imminent. ;-)

Are you seeing the ads on TV down there too? Ambulance chasing lawyers,
running everything from spot ads to half hour infomercials, looking for
anyone that used Roundup and has cancer? There on every hour here.
Whoever at Bayer decided a year ago to buy Monsanto should get some
kind of award.

These juries just feel sorry for the poor schmuck with cancer. To me
the fact that non-Hodgkins lymphoma rate has not risen in the decades
when Roundup use went through the roof and the fact that studies of
farmers and their families found no elevated rate of any cancer,
strongly suggest those juries didn't know WTF they were doing.
Something like 60K people a year get diagnosed and now the lawyers
are going to claim that every one of those that can point to some
exposure deserves $100 mil. Me, I can't help but think how stupid
you have to be to wind up drenched in Roundup, like the janitor in
that one case claimed happened many times.
