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 But, people distrust of the food system is by and large justifiable.
They just lack the information to articulate it well, and misdirect their fear. Marketing doesn't help either.
(I'm more angry about the loss of cultivar diversity. That's 99% the fault of agribusiness, and genetic modification could probably speed up resurrection or recreation of some totally lost cultivars.)
