9. It is more appropriate to ask why you are in the group if you cannot be bothered to even read...

and interpret a simple message. You are all reaction. Have I said anything supporting GMO's? No. Did I ask for a clarification on what Sanders may have said that evoked your obviously strong reaction? Yes.

Why did I ask?

Well, I asked because I am interested in knowing what Sen. Sanders supports. The odd point here is that it seems that you swallowed the magazine article's perspective hook, line and sinker without actually checking the source documents. That is, you took a magazine with a completely worthless reputation and echoed its comments regarding Sanders' positions. That is not very skeptical of you, and not very scientific.

It was stipulated in the beginning that the magazine in the post to which you referred (JBA Healthy News and the others which mimic it) are not worthwhile. I presumed that you did due diligence and found and listened to the source which ostensibly was his speech. That is not to say that the aforementioned worthless magazines did not add something to or distort something from what Sanders stated. Being that you seem to have strong views favoring an empirical approach, I would have presumed that you actually read the source material and could answer a simple question.

What purpose do you have in this group if you can't be bothered to read or look at source documents and if you attack people for no reason?

Bizarre. Your reaction is truly surprising.

You just started, fought and finished a battle that did not even happen except in your own mind.

Nevertheless, thanks for the links. I know those are good sources.
