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.

The science of how trangenics are made is sound. The problem is the society they are placed into, like any science or technology.
There isn't a question that it's possible to make a stable transgenic crop, the question is the use case. It's not as if we are running out of space or running out of food, as ever the problem is soil erosion and waste. So before you can say 'this is a bad objection' you need to at least ask why its worth discussing at all.

@Ashrand
for me it always seems as if those that are oposing critic towards #gmo, are actually not aware of the critic itself?

@paulfree14 @Ashrand I work in a produce department at a grocery store and regularly hear people say “that’s not real food” or “I don’t eat things created in a lab.” That’s what I’m speaking about here: the perception that anything that might be transgenic is ScAaAaRyYY. It’s the same gripe as when people screech about “chemicals!!!”
