I think you've miss-read my comment. That was the summary of the video not a statement of opinion, and I think it's an accurate TLDR of the video.

As the other commenter highlighted, seems you mainly comment on this issue.

For my part I have no commercial connection to this industry/issue.

Any industry connection you want to disclose?

Sorry, i missed the TLDR part, the rest just jumped at me, because i've seen it so many times before.

I don't have any industry connections at all whatsoever (I'm a plain old software dev). I'm mainly interested in the whole anti GMO movement and related issues. As I see it there is a lot of misinformation out there, partly as a result anti GMO organisations pushing an anti science agenda and employing similar tactics to ones used by climate change denying groups.

So when I see those inaccurate claims repeated, I'm inclined to comment, always trying to cite reliable sources. So I do understand if my comment history looks like i'm some kind of industry shill (i've been called that on social media lots of times before).

Sure, no worries. I think we all don't want industry shills hyjacking discussions. Thanks for clearing that up.

While I am dismayed by blanket anti-GMO pseudo- and non-science, the possible toxicity of glyphosate is absolutely a scientifically valid concern with regard to this particular genetic modification.

What do you mean by "valid concern" though? And what do you mean by "this particular genetic modification"?
