GMO crops mean more pesticide use. Since the crops are designed to be resistant to proprietary pesticides farmers overuse them and eventually create weeds and pests resistant to them. Which means even stronger toxins are needed which creates even more resistant etc etc. Me, I'll stick with something that isn't filled with Roundup-derived endocrine disruptors.

what are you talking about?

You know that the rice that most of Asia lives off of is genetically modified for increased yields and without it hundreds of millions would have died of famine right?

People call it Frankenfood. But Frankenfood would actually just be different parts of different foods all assembled together into one dish. Which is what most food is.

Edit: Actually I suppose it would be the chef that puts it together wouldn't it?

Disingenuous argument. Genetic modification is the process whereby a gene from one species is transplanted into another species. This has never been done by humans before the late 20th century.

Just about every food you eat is not in a "genetically natural" state; it's been changed at the very least by selective breeding to make genes change or switch on and off.

Broccoli, Cauliflower, Kale, Brussel Sprout, are all freak forms of brassica wild cabbage.

Sweet corn is modified so that the sugar doesn't turn into starch.

Apples are modified to be large with a lot of sugar, original non modified forms of all eating apples would be crab apples.

Tomatoes in natural wild form are blueberry to cherry sized.

List goes on, where do you draw the line on what is "OK" or "God intended" or not. If it's good for you? So if you can manipulate genes more directly and make the food healthier or more nutritious then how is that different or wrong? Like, aren't apples bad because they are "modified" to have much higher sugar?

The answer is easy, GMO is a buzz term and you get social justice points for picking up the bullet points whatever they are and just repeating and doing them without thinking about it for yourself.

The fact that the existence of GMOs hinges on the increased use of roundup, a "probably" carcinogenic, definitely estrogen-mimicking substance that can't be washed off and accumulates in the biosphere is okay, because a shitload of people who shouldn't be alive are burdening the planet with their presence now.
