haven’t seen it in the thread yet, but (most) GMOs. The foods and technology aren’t the problem, it’s a solution to ending hunger. It’s the corporate interests that squash competition that’s the problem.
It's also the shitton of nasty pesticides GMOs enable.
Yes the monopolies it creates for seed and the pesticides are the reason I'm against GMOs. It's sad such promising technology is misused like this.
The slogan of the last fifty years and the next fifty years.
What? GMO's use less pesticides. https://allianceforscience.org/blog/2020/07/new-study-gmo-crops-reduce-pesticide-use-greenhouse-gas-emissions/
That is a GMO-funded thinktank.
