Monsanto uses GMOs. GMOs are not equivalent to Monsanto.
There are many many examples of GMO foods that we all eat every day that are not related to the genetic modification done to make plants able to handle having roundup sprayed on them. I had some papayas over the weekend - something like 4/5ths of all papayas in the US are GMO because the ringspot virus nearly wiped them out prior to scientists genetically modifying them.
Taleb basically sticks his head in the sand and acts like Monsanto is the only game in town when it comes to GMOs and thinks that it is too dangerous for us to do at all.
- pazimzadeh 6y agoYes, exactly. There is plenty of room to criticize Monsanto without demonizing the idea of gene editing.
