One reason I’m not interested in hyper efficient GMOs is that I don’t trust the incentives of the people making them.
They don’t want me to be healthy, they want to grow food as cheaply as possible and for me to buy and become addicted to their product. I’m not particularly interested in increasing Monsanto’s efficiency.
- drekk 4y agoSounds like your problem is capitalism and not the underlying technology. Which brings me to a related question: does the meat/dairy industry have my health as their priority? How can you trust the incentives of any private enterprise? Unfortunately we can't all go back to subsistence agriculture. And sadly food is not seen as a right worth guaranteeing to "first world" citizens, even children, which rules out the state.
