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 Even people getting squeamish over transgenic stuff bothers me. We're built to eat just about anything except what's specifically evolved to kill us. Our stomach acid doesn't give a single fuck if there's fish protein in our broccoli.
@caffeine @Ethancdavenport Yeah, there's that. You get what I mean, though.
@floatoverblow
I get it. But I'm seriously worried about the fact this (what you can "import" in the food) is going to be poorly regulated for quite a long time.
Food production is extremely regulated for a reason, GMOs get a free pass to mix anything from any living being.
The science is good, the regulations are 0, the actors (big corporations that can afford it) are not trustable.
@floatoverblow
hmm tell that to an allergic.
