Your pesticide/herbicide primary concern is a defining feature of GMO staples: glyphosate tolerance.
I.e. you're going to find a lot more Roundup in GMO end products than non-GMO.
- specialist 6y agoExactly. My 3 main concerns with GMO are anything related to pesticides, anything transgenetic, and the privatization of biology thru IP capture. I'm sorry those risks fall under the rubric of GMO and not "corporatism" and "theft". Blame the GMO rhetoric on big agriculture. A helpful contrasting example for the apologists: Wheat with better nutrition and yields: good. Wheat which requires matching pesticides, herbicides; where seeds are sterile; where seedstocks cannot be shared, reused, resold; where wheat incorporates genetic code from other plants: bad.
