GMOs are unsafe

Actual usage of GMOs IRL is mostly to promote plant resistance to RoundUp (glyphosate) which is definitely unsafe.

When people list off positions they disagree with like this, they always miss the mark on one or two...

Yes. I have real concerns around GMOs in terms of genetic patents and danger to food security via reduced cultivar diversity. I don't think GMOs are all-bad, but not all concerns about them belong in the same bucket together.

Huh , so those who were forced to learn propaganda as impressionable children are then as duscerning and wise adults are no longer able to research, study and come to other conclusions? Huh.

Well, GMOs are almost exclusively used for extreme mass production of herbicide-resistant corn and soy, for biofuels and cattle feed. All of that is disastrous for the environment (and humans), so yes: GMO bad.

Dude, you don't believe science. All you do is listen to TV saying what "scientists have said". Don't act like you believe climate change because you read hundreds of peer reviewed papers and built an informed opinion based on stats. The most you did was a Google search, if ever, and then read from a website from a government-funded institution that wouldn't get funding if it said the "wrong thing".

Spare us your condescension. You're just in a cult 🫡
