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. ;-)



Yup, and they're both wrong, LOL.
Why people want to ingest farm chemicals and suffer the health side effects is beyond me.

I'm happy to suffer the effects. Billions of people saved from starvation, plentiful cheap food, the US the largest food exporter, those are the main "side effects". Back to your cave now, hippie.



If a McKid at McJunkFoods spit on a customer's McBurger, the customer is liable to punch the McKid in the face...and rightly so.

Why is it that McPeople are so willing to let BigAg dump toxic chemicals all over their food? Is money that tight?

Is there any benefit whatever to spitting on a customer's hamburger?
We know for sure that spit is unhealthy and can definitely pass
diseases? Are those chemicals really toxic to humans, in the very low
levels that any actually show up in food? You would think if they
were, there would be an epidemic with cancer, steadily increasing
rates and shorter life expectancies, but that hasn't happened.
The real effect has been the abundance of easily available, refined
foods has lead to an epidemic in obesity and the diseases that go
with that. If you want to complain about fast food and similar
poor food choices, there is a real target.
And as to the money issue, billions would have starved over the
decades if food had to be produced without chemicals, that's the
effect of higher prices worldwide. Think of the children!
