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 while I agree with the sentiment, there *is* an important difference between GMO and selectively bred organisms: with GMO it's possible to make genetic modifications that would not have been possible by just selective breeding.
This creates a lot of possibilities, some of them potentially dangerous.
So, additional scrutiny and caution regarding GMO is, in fact, justified.
