I have trouble believing these industry lobbyists who insist that everyone will starve if they can’t increase crop production by 20%.

Do you seriously believe Americans would put up with the 20 or 30% reduction in food supply that would result if we elimate GM crops?

Sure. Tie in a GMO ban with a ban on High Fructose Corn Syrup. And lift the tariffs and price supports on sugar.

People prefer sugar in their soda to HFCS.

Ban GMO corn, presumably less corn. Ban the use of corn in soda, less need for the corn.

That extra 20% of GMO corn is going to soda. When it can’t go into soda, there’s extra corn floating around out there.
And you can get rid of that extra 20% by getting rid of GMO.

56 pounds of corn in a bushel. Corn is now $6.75 a bushel.
6.75 divided by 56 is 12 cents a pound.

Fritos in a bag cost $3.00 a pound, or more. $0.12 of $3.00 is the price of the corn. Somehow, I think we’ll make it.
