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.

@Ashrand @paulfree14 that’s fair, although I disagree about pro-transgenic arguments being weak. Norman Borlaug won a Nobel prize for his dwarf wheat strains and increased food security in places that had little before. Improving quality of life for vast swathes of people is a pretty strong argument imo. I’m very receptive to anti-corporate arguments though. Profit, as always, is not a wholesome motivator.
