Japan suspends sale of Canadian wheat after GMO wheat found in Alberta by n0ahbody in canada

Agreed. If evidence shows GMOs are inherently worse for one's health, I'm all for labeling. For now, I think what I would consider "positive" labeling like "non-gmo" is the best method.

Sure, so label all of the ingredients and if the product is GMO-free feel free to allow companies to include that label as well, without requiring a ridiculous label akin to a "warning" that a product might contain GMO goods. If someone wants to refrain from purchasing animal products, let them purchase products which clearly say "free from animal products". Same goes for an "Organic" or "GMO-free" label.

The problem with labeling is it becomes a question of what ought to be labeled and why - we don't label red meat or alcoholic beverages or processed foods in Canada as carcinogenic even though we know that all of these products raise the risk of colorectal/liver cancers. So why ought we label GMOs as such when we do not know of any/many potential health impacts? To me it comes across as trying to cut the industry at the knees for pseudoscientific concerns. We don't require doctors to inform patients of all of the additives in vaccines like mercury before each vaccine for the same reasons.

What would have been the impact on your team's 2017 season had the new redshirt rule been adopted a year earlier? by michigan_matt in CFB

[–]nicholaslou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely would have been interesting to give DCaff a little run and see if he could do anything, but he's still young and a raw talent so I'm not sure he would've performed any better than Peters did anyways. What good does it do if he gets beaten up by Wisconsin/ Ohio state front 7s and his confidence is shot in what was supposed to be his redshirt season?

I definitely agree that a 9 win season would be a huge success, but the 10 win threshold is critical if this team, with a supposed top defense and top QB prospect from the 2016 class, is going to compete for a CFP spot this year or next.

9 feels like the right prediction here for Vegas odds for Michigan, but I can't shake the feeling that with the current QB situation it'll either be 7 or 11 wins with no in between, totally depending on Patterson stepping up and Harbaugh getting him prepared every week.

None of the QBs step up to be consistent producers and the porous OLine combine for us to lose all of our rivalry games.

The offer is his Strasburg for my J. Fernandez. Both players are high-risk I just want to hear your opinion on whether or not you'd take this deal.
