There’s two types of people who are against GMOs. Those that are afraid of eating genetically modified organisms, and those who take issue with how GMOs are used in practice. In practice, the most common GMOs (I believe) are Monsanto’s Roundup Ready crops. The point of that crop is that farmers can spray huge quantities of the herbicide glyphosate in to the soil to kill all plants in the field without damaging the crop. Monsanto swears this is safe but there are many reasons why this practice puts workers and eaters at risk and seriously damages ecosystems.
So I would love to know what plants are GMO and specifically what strain is used and why. This would help me avoid GMOs that are used to damage farm ecosystems. This is also why I look for certified regenerative organic products - I want the food I eat to regenerate the soil, not destroy it.
