Hard News: Science: it's complicated, in reply to Islander,
You're very welcome! It comes from a book called Ave Ogden! with matching versions of rhymes in English and Latin, which I wish I owned. Now there's someone with an excess of cleverness!

[he also produced a Latin version of this, of which I can remember only the title, Strep, Crep, et Frag!]

Hard News: Science: it's complicated, in reply to Bart Janssen,
All the herbicide resistances are modifications of normal plant genes so as far as a human could tell the plant is normal, certainly not toxic.
But the actual herbicides that the herbicide-resistant plants get drenched in, I'm thinking that's the toxic part.
Worth remembering that we’ve been eating GM crops for 20 years. That’s a lot of people unharmed.
Perhaps we're unharmed, but the environment is damaged by monoculture, highly-mechanised farming, and use of strong pesticides. Look at what's happening to honeybees and butterflies.

Wow, sounds like an awesome show, Russell. I'm sure I'm not the only one who tears their hair at most of what passes for science reporting in NZ. How many dedicated science reporters does NZ have? Not nearly enough in the MSM.

My partner is now adamant we need to buy a plunger and an egg-whisk.
Yeah, I think you need to visit the local plunger-and-egg-whisk emporium! Wow, I remember those Leggs eggs.
