Because you believe GMO crops are bad, you want to completely poison and contaminate acres of land with gasolene, just so some plants can be destroyed?

Just out of curiosity, would you be okay with burning the fields if gasoline wasn't a component of the fires?
After all, besides removing dangerous chemicals in gmo seed and fertilizer, there are many beneficial aspects of fire on the land.

and the gas fire burns hot enough to greatly hinder the resurge of the gmo plant.

Yes. Quite a bit. The experiment was poorly conducted and the statistical analysis was a joke.
have you done any reading into the GMO corn study on the rats with tumors?
I have no reason to think that approved GMO crops are unsafe because I have seen no convincing evidence to indicate that they are. I have no reason to think that there is anything inherently unsafe about them.
and do you believe GMO is safe and why
The "new" part is that there is an effort to destroy GMO food.

Please.
Don't try and spin this onto me.
I'm not the one who advocates poisoning the soil with gasoline.

Well obviously, using fire to assist in agriculture, in the right circumstance, is fine.
Many seeds need fire to germinate.
Beets, GMO or not, reap no benefits from fire, so no, burning crops even without gasoline is still not ok for me.
The irony is obviously lost on most here.
"GMO crops are bad, let's burn them!"
"Yeah, that'll show them, ruining our environment like that, the monsters!"
Fools.
People are not allowed to choose, animals are not allowed to choose, this "new miracle" must be on every grocery shelf, in every livestock barn and in every food product sold whether we like it or not and THAT is the crime.

So grow your own. Buy "organic". Make your own food. Bake your own bread.
