I agree. And when people talk about abolishing the EPA, I’m not for it. Much of what the EPA does is ridiculous, but they should ban GMO entirely. I don’t know what is wrong with this alfalfa, but previously, they’ve spliced in genes from a bacteria. BT Potatoes have this gene spliced in. They took the part of the bacteria which killed potato bugs, and spliced it in. Some potatoes are now part potato part insecticide.

You have no idea what you are talking about. The GMO crops have revolutionized our food production beyond what could only be dreamt about just 20 or 30 years ago.

For example, it’s a pleasure to sit in a combine and watch top quality feedstuffs being harvested from clean fields, womething impossible just 2 decades ago.
