   @maiyannah @pzmyers I think the main argument against GMOs are the business models. So crops are developed which deliberately only last for a single generation and have to be re-purchased continually. It's a way for the megacorps to continuously leech upon farmers.

      @bob @maiyannah But…that's also the case with non-GMO seed! Corporate seed has been single-generation since the 1920s.

      So if you object to the business models (rightly) doing so by complaining about GMOs is a colossal miss.
