Wow, didn't think there'd be so many luddites here.
Thought if any place, people here would realize that the marketing strategies behind "organic"/"non-gmo"/gluten free/"all natural" products, really, aren't any better than what Montsanto is doing.
Do you guys understand that the scientific consensus behind GMO's is unanimous? The people who
really know about this stuff collectively agree that GMO's aren't harmful. People who are strongly opposed to GMO's more times than not have
no credentials and often sound like conspiracy theorist / illuminati / NWO numbnuts and therefore cannot be taken seriously by myself, and many other people who are fond of reason.
Also, one must take in consideration, some very basic facts about demography, history, and economics. The world's population is still, soaring - and even today, many are still stuck in hunger, or have severe vitamin deficiencies.
Food Justice Warriors (lol) need to step out their San Francisco apartments and realize that
3 000 000 people died of hunger last year, and hmm how many people died of GMO's? ...
None. As long as people refuse to acknowledge that pesticides, herbicides, gmo's will (whether they like it or not) have the utmost importance in our planets nutrition one day, this data will get worst, and worst every year.
Speaking of data (the enemy of the FJW) when you quickly peek at any statistics you'll understand that we're using less energy, less water and getting more produce out of the same acreage year after year.
Humans have been progressing in farming for thousands of years, and we will keep doing so. In any case.... within the scientific literate we understand what GMO's are doing and where they are going. And most people who argue with devoted passion and emotion against Biotech have no clue what they are talking about and remind me, in the way they argue, of a mad twitter feminist, or anti-vaxxer.
