@thufir @craigmaloney @bob Perennials would be great. But what about modifications for using fewer herbicides, like round-up ready plants? The bad thing about those isn't the modification, but that the modification is tied to selling a specific herbicide.

@gcupc I agree with that. In general we need a deeper understanding of the changes people make to the world than "will it make me money?"

@maiyannah @bob Exactly. We've just found new ways to accelerate new crop production.

@bob @maiyannah Butβ¦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.

@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. -

I'm curious to see if I get more pushback on this from the more liberal Mastodon community than I do from the more conservative birdsite.
But then maybe people here are just plain smarter & better informed.

The Non-GMO Project is a lie. The whole anti-GMO movement is a luddite scheme co-opted as a marketing ploy for the so-called "natural" foods industry.

PT Barnum died in 1891. 80 years later, Elon Musk was born. Just saying.

Our cat has decided that my home office is her playground. Everything on a desk must be knocked to the floor.
She's about to learn that that rule applies to cats on desks, too.
