“GM danger is a classic manipulation of radical left politics.”

Nonsense.

Those genes pollinate natural species, driving entire crops to mono-hybrid.

Species that have adapted and curated over millennia will eventually be eliminated.

If you think that’s a manipulation of radical left politics you need to go back to school.

So is plant grafting GM?

I grow my own corn. A 50' X 10' stand grows enough corn we turn into cornmeal to fill 2 50 pound sacks we store in the garage. It gives you something to do between Christmas and Easter. Bought an old corn shelling wheel at an antique store for $25. Store the corn on the Cobb and only grind what you need for a month at a time. That way you avoid any grain moth larvae. Same with black beans, pinto beans, and Northern beans. We store those in 5 gallon pails we flush with nitrogen. Kohlrabi, Swiss chard, collards, radishes, leaf lettuce, okra, green beans, tomatoes, keeps you in vegetables for the whole year as well.

Keep bees and chickens. A dairy goat for milk. Amazon for olive oil source verified, Amazon pharmacy prescription needs, and long term prescriptions you can just buy from Mumbai, India. No RX needed and for about 10% of the US Pharmacy cost.

I think one could avoid going out anywhere to piss away your health and wealth with very little work and just some planning.

PS, my wife hates potatoes. She does live the Fuyu Asian Persimmons and figs we grow for fruits. The Fuyu Persimmons last six months off the tree in a cool dark spot. Four Fuyu's and two fig trees is more than enough for us.

I’ve got far more schooling than you mariner.

All crops are gm. Political partisans simply assert which ones are natural and ban accordingly.
