Did he hide it? Was he required t disclose all his funding? Do you object to any other source of his funding? Do you think 25G is more than piss?

Florida Strawberries and University of Florida: Plant Molecular Breeding Initiative seem to want to buff out some Florida growing prospects in feeding it's already gestating pigs, you know, growth. for their department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
and the National Science Foundation based out of Virginia, tied to people in China as well, as the Chinese Scholarship Council, and then other countries like Japan, and France.
Green Yellow and Brown. Japan's the Brown.
and another independent research gathering operation: New Hampshire Agricultural Experimental Station.
Summation: something here stinks. smells like the smell of a cadaver, and that putrid stench is the stench of scientific research. damn wastoids.

This makes sense, however, the article is pretty loose on the details of WHAT he should have disclosed and when. If I'm a researcher studying drug A, then receive funding from a pharmaceutical company to develop drug C, I don't necessarily have to disclose that when discussing my research on drug a.
Its extremely typical for academics to take any money whenever and wherever they can. It's completely the norm to have multiple sources of funding and only disclose them in the relevant contexts.

But that is not the situation. He was studying gmo's and their safety while being funded by a gmo producer. It doesn't matter if he really believes in gmo, they pick and choose who to fund and only hand out money to those most likely to deliver the goods. And if the reasearcher wants more money they better have delivered.

$25k to support education, he did things such as make sure the people attending his lectures had lunch. Kevin Folta is a good guy
lemme ask, all the anti GMO advocates, tell us all about their grants. right, you dont know because unlike Folta, they arent transparent, in fact they flat out lie with things such as paying people to shill for them as you and the other anti GOM nutter are claiming

I largely agree, but the critical question is under what context did he NOT disclose his grant, when he should have?
The original article says: "“The documents show that Monsanto paid for Folta’s travel to speak to US students, farmers, politicians and the media. Other industry contacts occasionally sent him suggested responses to common questions about GM organisms.”
^^these aren't always situations where disclosure of a grant is commonly done or required.
The whole article is vaguely worded as "Folta should have told everyone about the grant" but its entirely lacking in the specifics. If Montsanto paid him 25k to do two months of experiments with a meager 25k he may not have to report, nor should he, but that is circumstance dependent.

it was done under a freedom of information act request, Kevin works for a publicly funded university and has to comply, the request was made in february and the information was given to them within the 30 days but it wasnt until early august that they decided they wanted to try and spin it into what it's not. there is no requirement to report. this wasnt money in kevin's pocket as these anti-GMO fucktards want to try and convince you

Yeah, he was so proud of being backed by Monsanto that he told everyone. Well no he didn't actually, he forgot. And the 25k was just the tip of the iceberg. The grant did not cover travel, lodging and other perks, that was extra plus who knows what else? He certainly is not going to volunteer the info.

It's vaguely worded because there is no story here. Corporations fund research on the products they sell. This isn't new. If his research turned up results largely in opposition to the larger body of research as a whole in favor of Monsanto, you might have a story. But it didn't. Because GMOs aren't poison.

Yeah right, sure, no doubt.
Ever heard of roundup? Its a highly toxic compound that you have to use a lot of on certain gm crops. The bugs are now resistant to it so the poor farmers have to use more and more of it. Plus the fact that gm crops are not producing much if any more yield. This was all discussed in another thread about why we need labeling for gmo products.
The fucktards don't even want us to know whats in our food. It might cost monsatan some sales.

No, dude. Crops were engineered to be roundup resistant. You don't "have" to use roundup on them. Roundup happens to be one of the safer pesticides. Also, your argument doesn't follow. Roundup ready crops are not more dangerous for you than other crops, and whether or not roundup itself is dangerous. That's an entirely different issue than whether or not GM technology is safe. Now, why don't you go to a village in Africa and explain to them why you'd rather their children die than allow Golden Rice to exist.

Maybe if Europeans didn't fuck africa up so bad they wouldn't need gmo's to feed themselves.
And what is roundup supposed to be safe compared to? Other toxic synthetic pesticides?
