I’m a farmer. I vehemently disagree.
- rincebrain 5y agoI personally interpreted the GP and grand-GP commenter's statement as "there is nothing wrong from a health perspective about consuming GMO products", not "there is nothing wrong with the utterly bonkers legal convolutions surrounding GMO seed control".
- epgui 5y agoThis is exactly what I meant, thank you. (see: principle of generous interpretation)
- netizen-936824 5y agoSo what's the problem with it? In my opinion, health-wise and biochemically its fine The patent situation, market capture, and change in biodiversity are issues secondary to the issues most are generally worried about when consuming and purchasing GMO foods and could be fixed with changes in law/regulation rather than having to do with whatever proteins the organism is expressing
- epgui 5y agoBingo.
- prepend 5y agoAs a janitor I am vehemently ambivalent. Seriously though, biochemists seem to have more authority on this subject than a farmer. Some farmers study and are knowledgeable about genes and chemistry and whatnot. But without further information, just being a farmer doesn’t give you much more insight on the safety of GMO.
