I may be out of the loop here, but why do you say that? Are Asians particularly more GMO-averse than Americans?
- ex_amazon_sde 6y agoYes
- DoreenMichele 6y agoI say that based on the two data points I quoted with sources. Presumably 'more than half' is less than 95 percent in most cases.
- creata 6y agoYou're probably right. I just wasn't sure that production and consumption of GMO soy would be so neatly linked like that, because so much of that soy is going to livestock.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoYeah, the lack of certainty of a conclusion is why the word "probably" is in that sentence. It's a qualifier. It indicates I don't actually know for certain and this is guess work. (The guess work preceded the googling up of hand-wavy numbers. It's an internet discussion, not a defense of a PhD dissertation.)
- creata 6y agoI didn't suggest otherwise.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoSorry, my 17 year old high school self seems to be alive and well, after all these years. (Insert jokes about my dotage.)
