“This is weed killer. This is a new thing in the world.”
Well no it isn’t new at all. Roundup is Monsanto’s weed killer and the generic form has been used around the would for years. What Monsanto did was make their seeds resistant to Roundup so farmers don’t need to use as much and get bigger yields.
GM seeds are all about productivity. I’m sure if they looked they’d find the same herbicides and pesticides in non-GM plants and maybe more of them.
GM is a good thing for feeding the world in varying climates too. Rice has been modified to grow in normally inhospitable regions, for example.
This is another example the Luddite attitude of the Green leftists. Reduce food and you reduce population. It’s people the greenies really don’t like.
First, I’m not a ‘greenie’. Many of my friends call me ‘attilla. However, there are other reasons to take a closer look at GM foods;
