I’m sick to death of people being precious about #GMO produce. Functionally there is no difference between a grape bred to have little or no seed and a grape that has been modified in a lab for the same thing. Y’all are just scared of science.
You wanna talk about #Monsanto charging for “licenses” for their crops, ok. Talk about agribusiness killing the planet, ok. Talk about corporations copyrighting genetic code, ok. These are all valid concerns.
But the science is sound.
@Ethancdavenport All of this is reasonably true (character limits though).
And, many of the faults with GMOs are more the issue of capitalism and the companies behind them, not the act of modifying plants.
Eg, the stifling of more suitable alternative crops in dry or very cold regions. It's not that there's no demand - if nobody sells the seeds and biosecurity laws mean you can't import them, you can't grow it. So you give up and grow what everyone else is growing.
