Emmer wheat grown by the ancient Egyptians was a bio-engineered grain though accidentally created by grasses naturally crossbreeding

Mendel selectively breeding peas was genetic engineering

Broccoli, Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts - even if organic an artificial plant created by selective breeding as are peaches, various types of apples, pears and seedless oranges and grapes. This is bio engineering.

The non-GM food right now this day prevents farmers in Asia from growing a rice that would prevent thousands of children a year in Asia form going blind because the Golden Rice produces vitamin D which is lacking in Asian diets.

I do not deny that Monsanto might engage in monopolistic practices but the way to deal with that is not to ban the use of their products. Jumping on this bandwagon will cause mass famine. Banning the use of GM foods would mean BILLIONS STARVE.

The people going after the super varieties are also going after any non-primitive plant or animal. These groups want the population of people reduced to 500 million or less. If you support that then please make a list of the people that you feel need to starve and make sure your name is one it.

That is complete nonsense!

Natural exchange of pollen is NOT bio-engineering, and I’m quite sure that you already know that.

You are being deliberately dishonest.

I didn't see a ban in the text of the proposition.

I don't believe the population of California is billions, either, so I don't quite see your point.

If using the government to force unwitting people to ingest things they don't want is the only way these globalist corporations can make money, then their business model needs to change. Let's make this a free country again, shall we?
