GMO: GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM


Anything that has had gene therapy or was selectively bred is a GMO in the strictest sense of the word. Do you like tomatoes? You're eating a GMO.


Are some GMOs bad? For sure. Are all GMOs bad? Absolutely not. Instead of perpetuating a tremendously uninformed, anti-science, anti-anything I don't understand because I don't have a degree in biochemistry "information" machine and railing against the dangerous of ALL GMOs, we should be pushing for more research- not less- to identify and fix the ones that are bad, while still making use of the ones that definitely aren't and definitely have helped put a major dent in world hunger by allowing crops to not fucking die.

Remember the Irish potato famine? GMOs would have been nice, wouldn't they?
