You didn't come close to getting out of the North Tower, buddy.

... Another GMO issue is crops with sterile seeds requiring the purchase of all new seeds every planting season.

Yeah i don't think this gets highlighted enough.

[Silent Majority]

Growing these on my front porch, they are sublime.

I remember when tomatoes had flavor.

Our next door neighbor grew his own tomatoes this year and gave us about a half dozen. They were SO DAMN GOOD. I basically lived off caprese salad for the week.

GMO discussion has probably done a disservice to some of the actual issues people may care about by all rolling it up under one umbrella. As a category, it's completely nonsense (corn is famously only edible because of generations of genetic modification to turn it into a consumable crop), but tucked in are some issues worth considering.

Most of the more normal folks I know who consider themselves "anti-GMO" stake out their position on being concerned around the proliferation of monocrops, both from an environmental health perspective and then from a consumer/variety perspective. Those are pretty fair concerns: it's rather famously documented that there was a massive shift towards genetically engineering monocrops to have brighter colors, last on the shelf longer, and diminish flavor. This usually goes hand in hand with broader concerns about industrial agricultural practices. If that's the criteria for being "anti-GMO" then I would probably fall into that camp too.

Like politics and a lot of things, most folks don't think that long about this stuff so you end up with very broad labels encompassing a variety of concerns, and can make bedfellows of people with principled concerns about the food we eat and wacky alex jones types.

This. Another GMO issue is crops with sterile seeds requiring the purchase of all new seeds every planting season.

Hmmm. That would explain why my plants don't grow from the seeds I collect.

Hmm, Monsanto swears they don’t use terminator seeds even though thy have a patent.

[Dr. Medulla]

Hmm, Monsanto swears they don’t use terminator seeds even though thy have a patent.

And clearly they'd never lie because the free market would punish them for such misdeeds. /libertarian

I believe everything Monsanto says.

The best part is that "moderate" is impossible to quantify in this crazy, herky-jerky, work-a-day world.

I'm starting to wonder if the Maxim doctor is the same long haired guy who gave Donald that clean bill of health a few years ago.

This picture has been edited right? Just doesn't look right like the head's been photoshopped.
