Disinformation at its Finest

Black is white and white is black. Just as long as they get hits and clicks and continue to make money, anything goes.

Headline – "US gov suggests limiting GM corn cultivation as failed experiment causes superpests to spread." Sounds good, eh? Like the EPA is actually going to do something to limit the use of GM corn. NOT!!!!! The real story, straight from the EPA site is that this guidance is not to "limit" the use of GMO corn, but to "prolong the durability and effectiveness" of GMO corn. Big difference. It does not want to "limit" the use, it wants to better manage areas of resistance in order to expand its usage.

Quote from the EPA site: "These measures and others are designed to significantly delay corn rootworms from developing resistance to Bt pesticides genetically engineered into corn (a plant-incorporated protectant or PIP). The proposed framework would change the way farmers use Bt corn, in order to slow the development of resistance. Our goal is to prolong the durability and effectiveness of these plants to control the corn rootworm pest.
